Efficient video summarization and retrieval tools

In this paper we describe the video browsing and retrieval techniques included within the ASSETS project system, focused on providing enhanced access to video repositories. The proposed mechanisms aims to provide efficient and reusable techniques for browsing and retrieval, trying to minimize the computational and storage cost of the approach while offering novel functionalities such as personalized/real-time video summarization. The system is under design and development within the ASSETS project that deals with advanced tools for accessing to cultural content.
