Event-Importance Based Customized and Automatic Cricket Highlight Generation

In this paper, we present a novel approach towards customized and automated generation of sports highlights from its extracted events and semantic concepts. A recorded sports video is first divided into slots, based on the game progress and for each slot, an importance-based concept and event-selection is proposed to include those in the highlights. Using our approach, we have successfully extracted highlights from recorded video of cricket match
