Towards Practical and Efficient Long Video Summary

원문 초록

Recently, video summarization (VS) techniques are widely used to alleviate huge processing pressure brought by numerous long videos. However, it is hard to summarize long videos efficiently since processing hundreds of frames is still time-consuming. In this paper, we find that the Kernel Temporal Segmentation (KTS) method designed for detecting the shot boundaries in SOTA VS methods is time-consuming while handling long videos. To address this issue, we propose the Distribution-based KTS (D-KTS) by fully considering the characteristic of shot length distribution. Furthermore, we propose the Hash-based Adaptive Frame Selection (HAFS) to improve the system performance by fully taking advantage of the temporal locality of long videos. Our experiments present that the proposed D-KTS is 92.70% faster and takes up 90.08% less memory than the baseline KTS method on average.
