Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel scheme for object-based key-frame extraction facilitated by an efficient video object segmentation system. Key-frames are the subset of still images which best represent the content of a video sequence in an abstracted manner. Thus, key-frame based video abstraction transforms an entire video clip to a small number of representative images. The challenge is that the extraction of key-frames needs to be automated and context dependent so that they maintain the important contents of the video while remove all redundancy. Among various semantic primitives of video, objects of interest along with their actions and generated events can play an important role in some applications such as object-based video surveillance system. Furthermore, on-line processing combined with fast and robust video object segmentation is crucial for real-time applications to report unwanted action or event as soon as it happens. Experimental results on the proposed scheme for object-based video abstraction are presented.Keywords
