This work is to enable a semi-automatic highlight detection
system for home video annotation. To automatically
identify highlights from home videos is a challenging
research issue in general. Currently home users mostly use
video editing tools to manually find the highlight, which is
very time consuming. To alleviate this hurdle and promote
the reusability of home video material, we propose a semiautomatic
user environment that aims at reducing the editing time required for
users to find highlights. With a well
designed user interface and using the localized visual similarity
trail to estimate candidate highlight boundaries, we enable home
users quickly and mostly accurately identify
the highlight.
