User and Device Adaptation for Sports Video Content

Several methods for summarizing sports videos by selecting only important scenes based upon their semantic content have been proposed so far. However, there remain two problems: (1) what is important depends on each user's preferences, and (2) the summaries should be tailored for media devices that each user has. To solve these problems, we discuss user and device adaptation for sports video summarization. The proposed framework dynamically adapts the video content to fit user's preferences using user profiles which describe the preference degrees for keywords. The video content is then presented through proper media such as image or text according to the confinement of media devices. For sports videos, the framework is tested using PCs and mobile phones as the media devices.
