SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING RESOURCES COSTS IN VISUAL RECOGNITION OF VIDEO BASED ON STATIC SCENE SUMMARY

Embodiments may provide techniques that provide identification of images that can provide reduced resource utilization due to reduced sampling of video frames for visual recognition. For example, in an embodiment, a method of visual recognition processing may be implemented in a computer system comprising a processor, memory accessible by the processor, and computer program instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor, the method comprising: coarsely segmenting video frames of video stream into a plurality of clusters based on scenes of the video stream, sampling a plurality of video frames from each cluster; determining a quality of each cluster, re-clustering the video frames of video stream to improve the quality of at least some of the clusters.
