Classification of self-consumable highlights for soccer video summaries
Dian Tjondronegoro, Yi‐Ping Phoebe Chen, Binh Pham · 2005
An effective scheme for soccer summarization is significant to improve the usage of this massively growing video data. The work presents an extension to our recent work which proposed a framework to integrate highlights into play-breaks to construct more complete soccer summaries. The current focus is to demonstrate the benefits of detecting some specific audio-visual features during play-break sequences in order to classify highlights contained within them. The main purpose is to generate summaries which are self-consumable individually. To support this framework, the algorithms for shot classification and detection of near-goal and slow-motion replay scenes is described. The results of our experiment using 5 soccer videos (20 minutes each) show the performance and reliability of our framework.
