A User Interface for Digest Movie Creation Focusing on Specific Persons Using Face Recognition

Abstract

We are developing a new method to generate digest videos focusing on specific persons appearing in the video. This method generates a user interface for shot selection. We suppose to manually select shots on the user interface and then combine them with automatically selected shots to generate a digest video. As a result, we can insert the shots in which the target is not automatically detected as part of the digest videos, and generate highly satisfied digest videos. This paper presents a user interface which assists the manual selection of preferable shots. This method aims to collect attractive scenes of specific persons such as actors or musicians.
