Automatic authoring of a domestic cooking video based on the description of cooking instructions

Abstract

Traditionally, a cooking recipe is mainly composed of text. Since it may be difficult to intuitively understand or imagine the overall cooking process from such a cooking recipe, it is preferable to publish it with a video that briefly explains the process and appropriately describes the cooking operations. Therefore, this paper proposes an automatic video authoring method that reduces both temporal and spatial redundancies from a cooking video taken at home according to the description of cooking instructions in a cooking recipe that will be published together. We conducted several kinds of subject experiments, and confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method.
