Abstract
A method of generating a summary of an audio/visual data stream is provided, the data stream comprising a plurality of consecutive frames having audio and visual properties. A plurality of shots of an audio/visual data stream are detected (step). A plurality of segments of the audio/visual data stream are determined (step), each segment comprising a plurality of the shots of the data stream having similar visual properties. A segment of the determined plurality of segments is selected (step). For each shot of said selected segment of said data stream, the audio in a plurality of consecutive frames which occur after the end of said shot is extracted (step). At least one of the shots is selected based on the extracted audio (step). A summary is generated to include the selected at least one of the shots (step).
