Identifying And Extracting Video Game Highlights Based On Audio Analysis

摘要

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for identifying and extracting game video highlights. Game highlights are identified and extracted from game video recorded or streamed from video games. Game highlights are created by identifying low-level sounds in a game video. Then, game concepts are detected based on identified low-level sounds. A game concept space is created for different types of game concepts. One or more highlights are generated using the concept space based on game knowledge and/or user preference. Multiple highlights can be fused together into a compilation of highlights.

主权项

1. A method for generating highlights from a game video of a video game, the method comprising:
identifying low-level sound features present in the game video by applying audio analysis for detecting multiple sound types, wherein the sound types include at least one sound types defined in the video game sound track; detecting game concepts based on the low-level sound features and knowledge of audio characteristics of the video game, each of the one or more audio characteristics selected from among: a relationship, a feature, or a concept of the video game, each of the one or more audio characteristics selected from among: a spatial characteristic, a temporal characteristic, or a semantic characteristic of the video game; creating a game concept space by establishing concept types of game concepts of high interest; and generating one or more highlights based on concepts detected in the video game and user preference.
