Motion-focusing key frame extraction and video summarization for lane surveillance system
This paper proposes a motion-focusing method to extract key frames and generate summarization synchronously for surveillance videos. Within each pre-segmented video shot, the proposed method focuses on one constant-speed motion and aligns the video frames by fixing this focused motion into a static situation. According to the relative motion theory, the other objects in the video are moving relatively to the selected kind of motion. This method finally generates a summary image containing all moving objects and embedded with spatial and motional information, together with key frames to provide details corresponding to the regions of interest in the summary image. We apply this method to the lane surveillance system and the results provide us a new way to understand the video efficiently.
