An Experimental Analysis of Accumulated Audience's Comments for Video Summarization
Yoshia Saito, Yoshiki Isogai, Yuko Murayama · 2010
In this paper, we propose an audience-oriented video summarization scheme on video sharing services. The proposed scheme analyzes audiences' feedbacks such as rating and comments in a video and finds important scenes where there are a lot of feedbacks from the audiences. Then, the video is summarized by collecting the important scenes from audiences' point of view although typically it is sum- marized from video producers'/providers' point of view. As the first step toward the audience-oriented video summariza- tion, we focus on comments as the audiences' feedbacks because currently some video sharing services allow audi- ences to comment on a specific scene storing their playback time. We assume there is a relationship between the number of audiences' comments on a scene and importance of the scene because the comments represent audiences' willing- ness to watch the scene. We report an experimental analysis for verification of the hypothesis and discuss some solutions to realize audience-oriented video summarization taking into account the experiment results.
