A System for Automatic Generation of Music Sports-Video

In this paper, we present a new representation of sports stract — Music Sports-Video (MSV), which provides exciting sports content accompanied with high quality background music for audiences and is available for high-quality audio-visual entertainment. We also propose a system generating MSV from user-provided sports video and music automatically. Firstly, the given sports video is segmented into a series of story units. Then all the story units are ordered by the predefined Exciting Degree (ED) and some high ED or user preferred story units are selected for MSV generation. Secondly, the ED of the given music is estimated by energy analysis on music beat. Thirdly, the selected story units are matched with music by their ED corresponding. Finally, the output MSV is rendered by connecting the selected exciting story units with appropriate transition effects, accompanied with the music. Experiments show encouraging results.
