Dominant Color Based Extraction of Key Frames for Sports Video Summarization

This paper proposes a novel approach of dominant color based extraction of key frames for sports video summarization. The visual features have been used to obtain play field color shots and non-play field color shots. For the every play field color shots dominant colored key frame has been extracted using color histogram analysis and created video summary. This provides users a way to swiftly browse a sports video in different levels of detail, without the need to view entire video. The promising results from user study on dominant colored key frame extraction indicate that the proposed scheme is efficient for video browsing, retrieval and video summarization for the applications of the internet and mobile devices.
