Abstract
A method for creating a summary of an audiovisual presentation initiates with segmenting a frame of the audiovisual presentation. Then, a slide region of the segmented frame is identified. Next, a histogram representing lines in the slide region is generated. Next, moving regions associated with successive frames from the histogram are suppressed. A computer readable medium, a system for providing a real time summarization of a meeting and an integrated circuit are also provided.

7551234 - Method and apparatus for estimating shot boundaries in a digital video sequence - Owned by Seiko Epson Corporation (Tokyo,JP)

A method of estimating a shot boundary in a digital video sequence comprises calculating a measurement of dissimilarity between each frame in the video sequence and its previous frame based on at least one of de-emphasized luminance differences and absolute color differences. Each frame is tested against shot boundary dissimilarity thresholds using the dissimilarity measurement for the frame thereby to detect the shot boundary.
