Resource restricted on-line Video Summarization with Minimum Sparse Reconstruction

Abstract

Video Summarization (VS) techniques have been widely utilized to produce a concise video content representation, such that the video content can be quickly explored and the complexity of video based analysis and retrieval applications can be highly reduced. However, little attention has been paid for online applications, especially for resource restricted applications, such as onboard VS. In this paper, our previous on-line Minimum Sparse Reconstruction (OnMSR) based VS algorithm is improved for resources restricted applications by confining the size of keyframes for reconstruction. Specially, an on-line reconstruction keyframe set update strategy is designed to meet the requirement of real-time resource restricted situation. Experimental results on various types of videos demonstrate the performance of OnMSR does not vary much by imposing resource constraint in the proposed resource restricted OnMSR (RR-onMSR) algorithm. As a result, the proposed RR-onMSR is very effective for real-time onboard VS applications.
