Abstract:

With increasing number of personal digital video recorders, the idea of having summarization fundtionality to view the recorded content has also been gaining importance. The summarization functionality can either be built into the video recording device or can reside in a computing device on the network. In this paper, we present two architectures of the latter case. The first architecture is to enable summarization services over a Home Network. The second architecture is to enable summarization services over the internet. We also present a client-server implementation for video summarization.
