Abstract
A method for determining a video summary from a video sequence including a time sequence of video frames, comprising: defining a global feature vector representing the entire video sequence; selecting a plurality of subsets of the video frames; extracting a frame feature vector for each video frame in the selected subsets of video frames; defining a set of basis functions, wherein each basis function is associated with the frame feature vectors for the video frames in a particular subset of video frames; using a data processor to automatically determine a sparse combination of the basis functions representing the global feature vector; determining a summary set of video frames responsive to the sparse combination of the basis functions; and forming the video summary responsive to the summary set of video frames.
