Unsupervised Video Summarization

16 papers with code • 2 benchmarks • 3 datasets

Unsupervised video summarization approaches overcome the need for ground-truth data (whose production requires time-demanding and laborious manual annotation procedures), based on learning mechanisms that require only an adequately large collection of original videos for their training. Specifically, the training is based on heuristic rules, like the sparsity, the representativeness, and the diversity of the utilized input features/characteristics.

Summarizing Videos using Concentrated Attention and Considering the Uniqueness and Diversity of the Video Frames

e-apostolidis/CA-SUM ACM ICMR 2022

Instead of simply modeling the frames' dependencies based on global attention, our method integrates a concentrated attention mechanism that is able to focus on non-overlapping blocks in the main diagonal of the attention matrix, and to enrich the existing information by extracting and exploiting knowledge about the uniqueness and diversity of the associated frames of the video.

Contrastive Losses Are Natural Criteria for Unsupervised Video Summarization

Video summarization aims to select the most informative subset of frames in a video to facilitate efficient video browsing.

Adopting Self-Supervised Learning into Unsupervised Video Summarization through Restorative Score

mehryar72/RS-SUM Conference 2023

We show that the reconstruction loss of the model for a video with masked frames correlates with the representativeness of the remaining frames in the video.

Enhancing Video Summarization with Context Awareness

hcmus-thesis-gulu/context-aware-summarization 6 Apr 2024

Despite the importance of video summarization, there is a lack of diverse and representative datasets, hindering comprehensive evaluation and benchmarking of algorithms.

Cluster-based Video Summarization with Temporal Context Awareness

hcmus-thesis-gulu/tac-sum 6 Apr 2024

In this paper, we present TAC-SUM, a novel and efficient training-free approach for video summarization that addresses the limitations of existing cluster-based models by incorporating temporal context.
