images <strong>an</strong>d <strong>video</strong>s represent occasions on which the audio have been per<strong>for</strong>medas songs, recorded as <strong>in</strong>terviews, etc. L<strong>in</strong>ked with the audio <strong>an</strong>d image data arebooks, journal, discs, DVD, etc, on which this <strong>in</strong><strong>for</strong>mation is stored (pr<strong>in</strong>ted,recorded, etc.). Video <strong>in</strong><strong>for</strong>mation is h<strong>an</strong>dled with the collaboration of the DISCodepartment of the University of Mil<strong>an</strong>o-Bicocca.

ConclusionIn this paper, we have presented <strong>an</strong> <strong><strong>in</strong>novative</strong> <strong>algorithm</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>key</strong> <strong>frame</strong> <strong>extraction</strong>.By <strong>an</strong>alyz<strong>in</strong>g the differences between pairs of consecutive <strong>frame</strong>s of a <strong>video</strong>sequence, the <strong>algorithm</strong> determ<strong>in</strong>es the complexity of the sequence <strong>in</strong> terms ofch<strong>an</strong>ges <strong>in</strong> visual content as expressed by different <strong>frame</strong> descriptors. Similaritymeasures are computed <strong>for</strong> each descriptor <strong>an</strong>d comb<strong>in</strong>ed to <strong>for</strong>m a <strong>frame</strong>difference measure. The <strong>algorithm</strong>, which does not exhibit the complexity ofexist<strong>in</strong>g methods based, <strong>for</strong> example, on cluster<strong>in</strong>g or optimization strategies, c<strong>an</strong>dynamically <strong>an</strong>d rapidly select a variable number of <strong>key</strong> <strong>frame</strong>s with<strong>in</strong> eachsequence. Another adv<strong>an</strong>tage is that it c<strong>an</strong> extracts the <strong>key</strong> <strong>frame</strong>s on the fly: <strong>key</strong><strong>frame</strong>s c<strong>an</strong> be determ<strong>in</strong>ed while comput<strong>in</strong>g the <strong>frame</strong> differences as soon as a twohigh curvature po<strong>in</strong>t has been detected. The per<strong>for</strong>m<strong>an</strong>ce of this <strong>algorithm</strong> hasbeen compared with that of other <strong>key</strong> <strong>frame</strong> <strong>extraction</strong> <strong>algorithm</strong>s based ondifferent approaches. The summaries have been evaluated objectively with threequality measures: the Fidelity measure, the Shot Reconstruction Degree measure,<strong>an</strong>d the Compression Ratio measure. Experimental results show that the proposed<strong>algorithm</strong> outper<strong>for</strong>ms the other <strong>key</strong> <strong>frame</strong> <strong>extraction</strong> <strong>algorithm</strong>s <strong>in</strong>vestigated.26
