The paper presents a comparative study of various techniques for video summarization, focusing on converting lengthy videos into shorter ones that capture important events, with results and architectures discussed for different contexts like sports and documentaries.
A comparative study of various techniques which can be used for summarization of Videos i.e. Video to Video conversion is presented along with respective architecture, results, strengths and shortcomings. In all approaches, a lengthy video is converted into a shorter video which aims to capture all important events that are present in the original video. The definition of 'important event' may vary according to the context, such as a sports video and a documentary may have different events which are classified as important.
