Time Constrained Video Playback
Webjørn Ivar Larsen · 2010
The duration of video playlists, might be a problem when watching on mobile devices, while on the go. We are exploring the problem of how to reduce the size of a video playlist, while maintain the important parts of the videoclips in the playlist. We have designed algorithms that automatically can cut down a playlist by cutting the duration of clips or sometimes even removing clips. We have shown that our algorithm is better than a naive solution that just cut at the end. Furthermore we have looked at playlist cutting for Davvi. This means playlist cutting for the soccer domain. We have created a hint based cutting algorithm that uses domain knowledge to achieve good results compared to the other algorithms available. Acknowledgements First, I would like to thank H̊avard D.
