Blind summarization of video content

摘要

A method summarizes unknown content of a video. First, low-level features of the video are selected. The video is then partitioned into segments according to the low-level features. The segments are grouped into disjoint clusters where each cluster contains similar segments. The clusters are labeled according to the low-level features, and parameters characterizing the clusters are assigned. High-level patterns among the labels are found, and the these patterns are used to extract frames from the video according to form a content-adaptive summary of the unknown content of the video.
