Automatic summarization of cricket video events using genetic algorithm
Harikrishna Narasimhan, Sanjeev Satheesh, Dinesh Sriram · 2010
Sports video mining has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. In this paper, we propose a flexible framework for summarization of cricket video content using genetic algorithm (GA). A summary of a cricket match should contain a variety of events, span the entire duration of the match and contain events of relatively high importance. These three parameters develop into a multi-objective optimization problem that is solved using genetic algorithm. Our experimental results on cricket matches are quite encouraging and we intend to extend this technique to other similar sports.
