A Novel Modeling for Video Summarization Using Constraint Satisfaction Programming

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNIP,volume 8888))

Abstract

This paper focuses on automatic video summarization. We propose a novel modeling for summary creation using constraint satisfaction programming (CSP). The proposed modeling aims to provide the summarization method with more flexibility. It allows users to easily modify the expected summary depending on their preferences or the video type. Using this new modeling, constraints become easier to formulate. Moreover, the CSP solver explores more efficiently the search space. It provides more quickly better solutions. Our model is evaluated and compared with an existing modeling on tennis videos.
