Video Summarization: Keyframe Extraction based on Absolute Difference Method

Abstract

Due to the technological provoke in the digital era, there is an inevitable exponential growth in the video content generation and utilization for various applications. Browsing the complete video contents is tedious and time-consuming work. Hence, the summary of the video enables the user to browse the video content and proceed further (into the original video content), if interested. Henceforth, this paper aims to propose a video summarization method to extract keyframes from the input video based on the absolute frame difference method. When evaluated on the publicly available video, the examined results stated that the proposed method has improved performance regarding the keyframe extraction.
