ABSTRACT:
A method generates a summary of a video. Faces are detected in a plurality of frames of the video. The frames are classified according to a number of faces detected in each frame and the video is partitioned into segments according to the classifications to produce a summary of the video. For each frame classified as having a single detected face, one or more characteristics of the face is determined. The frames are labeled according to the characteristics to produce labeled clusters and the segments are partitioned into sub-segments according to the labeled clusters.
