Effective shot-based keyframe selection by using image quality evaluation

In this paper, we propose a fast and effective method for shot-based keyframe selection. The proposed method is based a visual image quality evaluation using image contrast and motion blur measures. The main purpose of this paper is to provide good keyframes to viewers fast and effectively. Therefore, we adopt fast and effective approaches instead of heavy time-consuming and complex approaches. Experimental results show that the proposed method fast and effectively selects a good keyframe in each video shot.
