ABSTRACT:
Techniques for generating action keyframes for a fixed-position camera based on the identification of activity in the video, an assessment of the importance of the activity, object recognition in the video, and interaction techniques for seeing more details of the video are presented. In different embodiments of the invention, the importance of activity is determined based on the amount of activity, important locations in the video streams, detected features such as faces, and events from other sensors.
