Abstract :
Recently, video abstraction has become a demanding application in multimedia computing. It is defined as creating shorter video clips or video posters from the original video stream. We present a basic approach towards abstracting sports video by highlights, dealing with American football games. Using event based indexing, we create an abstracted video clip automatically. To select the appropriate highlights of the game, an impact factor reflecting on the importance of the event is newly introduced. It was possible to make an approximate 5-minute clip from the 3-hour original video
