ABSTRACT

Video summarization is process to represent the content of video in compact manner. We propose a novel summarization of cricket in which we first temporally segment the video on the basis of audio features like noise and silence using audio processing technique. Then each temporal segment will be classified into interesting and non-interesting segment based on scoreboard extraction motion estimation techniques.
