Abstract

A method extracts an intensity of motion activity from shots in a compressed video. The method then uses the intensity of motion activity to segment the video into easy and difficult segments to summarize. Easy to summarize segments are represented by any frames selected from the easy to summarize segments, while a color based summarization process extracts generates sequences of frames from each difficult to summarize segment. The selected and generated frames of each segment in each shot are combined to form the summary of the compressed video.
