A highlight scene detection and video summarization system using 'audio' feature for a personal video recorder

The personal video recorder such as recordable-DVD recorder, Blu-ray disc recorder and/or hard disc recorder has become popular for a large volume storage device for video/audio content data and a browsing function that would quickly provide a desired scene to the user is required as an essential part of such a large capacity recording/playback system. We propose a highlight scene detection function by using only 'audio' features and realize a browsing function for the recorder that enables completely automatic detection of sports highlights.
