An application for interactive video abstraction

This paper proposes a novel system that can automatically create an optimal and nonrepetitive summarization and support different user requirements for video browsing and content overview by outputting both the optimal set of key frames and a summarized version of the original video with the user-specified time length. Comparing our approach to video abstraction with another algorithm, we demonstrate that our approach is fast and produces an effective video summary.
