Abstract
Salient video frame establishment is described. In one or more example embodiments, salient frames of a video are established based on multiple photos. An image processing module is capable of analyzing both video frames and photos, both of which may include entities, such as faces or objects. Frames of a video are decoded and analyzed in terms of attributes of the video. Attributes include, for example, scene boundaries, facial expressions, brightness levels, and focus levels. From the video frames, the image processing module determines candidate frames based on the attributes. The image processing module analyzes multiple photos to ascertain multiple relevant entities based on the presence of entities in the multiple photos. Relevancy of an entity can depend, for instance, on a number of occurrences. The image processing module establishes multiple salient frames from the candidate frames based on the multiple relevant entities. Salient frames can be displayed.
