Highlight-Video Generation System for Baseball Games

Highlight videos are designed to help people understand the key content without having to watch the original long videos in their entirety. Notably, highlight videos of sports are in considerable demand from viewers. We propose a highlight-video generation system for baseball games. The original video, along with the game log, is used to rapidly and accurately extract trimmed event video using simple computer vision algorithms. Several types of highlight videos can be generated by extracting all the trimmed event videos and combining them in various manners. Experimental results show that the proposed method has 98.18% accuracy in trimmed event video extraction. Moreover, it is possible to generate highlight videos within an average of 2 min after receiving the input video.
