Dynamic storyboards for video content summarization

We propose an innovative, general purpose, approach to the selection and hierarchical representation of key frames of a video sequence for video summarization. In the first stage the shot detection module performs the video structural analysis; in the second stage the key frame extraction module creates the visual summary; and the last stage the summary post-processing module, after a pre-a classification aimed remove meaningless key frames, create a multilevel storyboard that the user may browse.
