A User Interface for creating digest videos focusing on specific persons

Abstract

This paper presents a user interface to assist creation of digest videos. This study aims to generate digest videos highlighting specific persons. The presented technique firstly applies a face identification technology to extract shots which take the target person. It then calculates the similarity between arbitrary pairs of shots which take the target person and other shots, and scores all the shots which do not take the person based on the maximum similarity. The user interface displays all the shots which are moderately similar to the shots which take the target person. Users can flexibly select shots which the users want to include to the digest video.
