movieSUM: Movie Summarization and Skimming Demonstrator Showcase Software


Overview

movieSUM is a MATLAB-based toolbox for audiovisual saliency-based automatic movie summarization. It has been developed in collaboration between ICCS-NTUA, TSI-TUC, and AUTH. It is an implementation of a saliency-based movie summarizer in terms of dynamic skims and static key-frames. Summarization is based on extracted audio, visual and audiovisual saliency (importance) curves form the corresponding audio and visual information streams.
