Abstract

In a method for determining highlight segments of a sport video, the sport video having a plurality of image frames is analyzed to recognize a scoreboard image and a plurality of scoreboard characteristics thereof. The scoreboard image comprises at least one of the scoreboard characteristics. Then, a request message showing at least one recognized scoreboard characteristic is displayed on a user interface to receive a user response, wherein the user response includes a recognized result of one of the scoreboard characteristics. Finally, variations in the recognized scoreboard image among image frames can be monitored according to the user response. Therefore, the highlight segments of the sport video can be determined according to the variations.
