Abstract
Technology advances in video capture, storage, and distribution, give rise to the need for efficient video indexing, retrieval, editing and navigation. These applications often are built on top of video analyzers, which, up to present, are available only to high-end developers or professional uses. This paper presents our experience in developing a video analyzer tool kit (SDK) that will enable software vendors to develop easy to use video applications for the mass PC users. Our SDK creates video summary automatically using the state of the art shot detection algorithms. It is interactive, efficient, intuitive and easy to use. The SDK enables application areas ranging from PC users for customizing their home video, Internet content providers for publishing video summary, and researchers for advanced video content analysis. The SDK also contains user-friendly interfaces and APIs for performing cut, copy, paste, merge and split operations.
