The invention relates to a method of selecting parts of an audiovisual document. First, the document is analyzed by at least two subdividing means in order to extract from it at least two groups of audiovisual sequences. Then, selection criteria associated with each of the two subdividing means are entered. Finally, a list of sequences responding to all the selection criteria entered previously is generated. According to a refinement, the sequences are concatenated in a chronological order in order to generate an audiovisual document representative of the audiovisual document. The invention also relates to a device for displaying the sequences selected according to the method.

Method for selecting parts of an audiovisual program and device therefor

Device and method for creating summaries of multimedia documents

The invention relates to a device and a method for recording multimedia data received in programme form. The device comprises temporary storage device designed to continuously record the multimedia data received in programme form and permanent storage device, capable of selectively transferring programmes from the temporary storage device to the permanent storage device.

Device and method for recording multimedia data

The method is characterized in that it implements the following steps: The field is that of the selection of shots of interest in a video sequence.

Method of selecting seeds for the clustering of key-frames

The invention concerns a device and an automatic resetting method using electronic means intended for a geometric model of a scene over a picture of the scene including fixed references, the electronic means comparing the picture with model having been adjusted in perspective by homography for superimposition of the references. According to the invention, the electronic device calculates a fine homography function Hfor resetting into three phases: a first preliminary phase of determination of an average resetting homography consisting in determining an average homography function Happlicable to the model with average adjustment over a sample of pictures of the scene taken previously, a second, rough resetting phase consisting after application of the average homography function H, to the model in determining a rough homography function H, and a third, fine resetting phase consisting after application of the rough homography function Hg to the model in determining the fine homography function H.
