Cricket Video Highlight Generation Methods: A Review

The key events extraction from a video for the bestrepresentation of its contents is known as video summarization.In this study, the game of cricket is specifically consideredfor extracting important events such as boundaries, sixes andwickets. The cricket video highlight generation frameworksrequire extensive key event identification. These key events canbe identified by extracting the audio, visual and textual featuresfrom any cricket video.The prediction accuracy of the cricketvideo summarization mainly depends on the game rules, player’sform, their skill, and different natural conditions. This paperprovides a complete survey of latest research in cricket videosummarization methods. It includes the quantitative evaluationof the outcomes of the existing frameworks. This extensive reviewhighly recommended developing deep learning-assisted videosummarization approaches for cricket video due to their morerepresentative feature extraction and classification capabilitythan the conventional edge, texture features, and classifiers. Thescope of this analysis also includes future visions and researchopportunities in cricket highlight generation.
