MINMAX Video Summarization under Equality Principle

Abstract

In this paper we present a video summarization scheme. First, shot detection is performed and then we extract the key frames under an equality requirement on subshots. We propose a key frames selection algorithm (Iso-Content MINMAX), which is very flexible on any choice of content descriptors, and is based on MINMAX optimization formulation. The equality principle provides to the selected key frames the useful property to be equivalent on video content summarization.
