AVsal is a Matlab-based implementation of the core of the system for movie summarization, namely audio, visual and integrated audiovisual saliency curve extraction. Saliency curves model viewer attention and importance of information by a single `saliency' value per time instance. Attention is modeled separately at each stream (audio and visual) and the potential of inter-module fusion is explored for audio-visual event detection.
See here for a description of AVsal. The package will be made publicly available soon through this page or as part of the movieSUM software.
