Automatic Selection of Web Contents Towards Automatic Authoring of a Video Biography

In this paper, we propose a method for image selection using Web image search for automatic video biography authoring. In the proposed method, images are selected from the image search results considering their visual contents for inclusion in the video biography. Through evaluation, we confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed image selection method compared to a baseline method which simply selects the top 1 search result.
