Visualizing multimedia content on paper documents: components of key frame selection for Video Paper

The components of a key frame selection algorithm for a paper-based multimedia browsing interface called Video Paper are described. Analysis of video image frames is combined with the results of processing the closed caption to select key frames that are printed on a paper document together with the closed caption. Bar codes positioned near the key frames allow a user to play the video from the corresponding times. This paper describes several component techniques that are being investigated for key frame selection in the Video Paper system, including face detection and text recognition. The Video Paper system implementation is also discussed.
