Highlight scene extraction of sports broadcasts using sports news programs

This paper proposes a new approach for extracting highlight scenes from sports broadcasts by using sports news programs. In order to extract the highlight scenes from sports broadcasts without fail, we use sports news programs and identify identical or similar sections between sports broadcasts and sports news programs that cover the sports broadcasts. To extract identical or similar sections between two video data sets efficiently, we developed a two-step method that combines relay-CDP and active-search. We evaluated this method from the standpoint of the extraction accuracy of the highlight scenes, and computation time, through experiments using actual broadcast data sets.
