Personalized Egocentric Video Summarization for Cultural Experience

Recent egocentric video summarization approaches have dealt with motion analysis and social interaction without considering that user can be interested in preserving only part of the video related to his interests. In this paper we propose a new method for personalized video summarization of cultural experiences with the goal of extracting from the streams only the scenes corresponding to a user's specific topics request, chosen among the shots in which it's possible to deduce that the visitor was focusing on a point of interest. Preliminary experiments show that our approach is promising and allows visitor to better customize the summary of his experience.
