dc.description.abstractDue to the increasing volume of the video data uploaded daily on the web through prime sources including social media, Youtube, and video sharing websites, video summarization has emerged as an important and challenging problem in the industry. Video summarization and its applications in various domains like consumer industry and marketing, generating a trailer for movies, highlights for different sports events. As a result, an efficient mechanism for extracting important video contents is the need to deal with a large amount of videographic repositories. We present a novel unsupervised approach to generate video summaries using simpler networks like VGG and ResNet instead of using complex networks i.e. LSTM and RNN. Video summarization and Image captioning are two completely different and independent tasks, yet we propose an approach that considers generating summaries using a feature space produced as a result of the image captioning of a video. Our main idea is generating short and informative summaries in a completely unsupervised manner using basic and traditional clustering technique modeled jointly with the video captioning framework NeuralTalk2. We conducted experiments in different settings with SumMe and TVSum datasets. Our approach achieved state-of-the-art results for SumMe dataset with an F-score of 35.6.
