Abstract

The types and locations of particular types of content in a video are visually summarized in a way that facilitates understanding by a viewer. A method may include determining one or more semantic segments of the video. In addition, the method may include determining one or more emotion objects for at least one of the semantic segments. Further, the method may include generating a user interface on a display screen. The user interface may include one window, and in another embodiment, the user interface may include two windows. Moreover, the method may include displaying first indicia of the emotion object in a first window. The horizontal extent of the first window corresponds with the temporal length of the video and the first indicia are displayed at a location corresponding with the temporal appearance of the emotion object in the video.
