APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETECTING GOLF VIDEO EVENT AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus for automatically detecting a golf video event and a method thereof are provided to automatically summarize a contents-based main event of a golf video by automatically detecting the main event and extracting time information of the corresponding event section. CONSTITUTION: A video contents input unit(101) is provided to read golf digital video data formatted by a random video format form. A shot boundary detecting unit(102) selects shot sections from the output video data. A key frame selecting unit(103) selects a key frame to be a hint for deduction of a preliminarily set event from the video data. A characteristic information extracting unit(104) extracts characteristic information values by using the selected shot sections, the selected key frame, and a representative reference image. An event deduction processing unit(105) deducts meaning of each shot section and the key frame by using the extracted characteristic information and the representative reference image for integrating and dividing shots adjacent to each other in terms of time. A contents summary generating unit(106) generates a summary of the golf contents to be as an XML(eXtensible Markup Language). A storage unit stores the characteristic information and the representative reference image.
