Opis

Due to the rapid growth of mass storage technologies,people may save large amounts of multimedia contents,but may not have sufficient time to view them all.They may want the displayer automatically filteringout insignificant parts but showing only theremarkable segments. Conventional highlightextraction techniques adopt rule-based approachesthat need lots of human efforts to analyze the videosequences for a particular type of sports. This bookpresents a generalized method that can be applied tovarious types of sports videos. The Artificial NeuralNetwork (ANN) is utilized to extract highlightswithout predefining rules of the highlight events.The framework should help researchers and designengineers in industry implement efficient highlightbrowsing system on real-time embedded systems andapplications, such as PVR and portable DVD.
