摘要

Static video summarization is recognized as an effective way for users to quickly browse and comprehend large numbers of videos. In this paper, we formulate static video summarization as a clustering problem. Inspired by the idea from high density peaks search clustering algorithm, we propose an effective clustering algorithm by integrating important properties of video to gather similar frames into clusters. Finally, all clusters' center will be collected as static video summarization. Compared with existing clustering-based video summarization approaches, our work can detect frames which are highly relevant and generate representative clusters automatically. We evaluate our proposed work by comparing it with several state-of-the-art clustering-based video summarization methods and some classical clustering algorithms. The experimental results evidence that our proposed method has better performance and efficiency.
