ABSTRACT:
A method of extracting audio excerpts comprises: segmenting audio data into a plurality of audio data segments; setting a fitness criteria for the plurality of audio data segments; analyzing the plurality of audio data segments based on the fitness criteria; and selecting one of the plurality of audio data segments that satisfies the fitness criteria. In various exemplary embodiments, the method of extracting audio excerpts further comprises associating the selected one of the plurality of audio data segments with video data. In such embodiments, associating the selected one of the plurality of audio data segments with video data may comprise associating the selected one of the plurality of audio data segments with a keyframe.
