A fast and efficient highlight detector for soccer

This paper presents an algorithm to detect the highlights in soccer games. The algorithm was developed for use in embedded devices with limited memory and processing power. Simple video features are used to detect the play segments, whereas the highlights are detected by analyzing the audio power.
