Behavioral profiling for adaptive video summarization: From generalization to personalization

In today's world of managing multimedia content, dealing with the amount of CCTV footage poses challenges related to storage, accessibility and efficient navigation. To tackle these issues, we suggest an encompassing technique, for summarizing videos that merges machine-learning techniques with user engagement. Our methodology consists of two phases, each bringing improvements to video summarization. In Phase I we introduce a method for summarizing videos based on keyframe detection and behavioral analysis. By utilizing technologies like YOLOv5 for object recognition, Deep SORT for object tracking, and Single Shot Detector (SSD) for creating video summaries. In Phase II we present a User Interest Based Video summarization system driven by machine learning. By incorporating user preferences into the summarization process we enhance techniques with personalized content curation. Leveraging tools such as NLTK, OpenCV, TensorFlow, and the EfficientDET model enables our system to generate customized video summaries tailored to preferences. This innovative approach not only enhances user interactions but also efficiently handles the overwhelming amount of video data on digital platforms. By combining these two methodologies we make progress in applying machine learning techniques while offering a solution to the complex challenges presented by managing multimedia data.
