Automatic Highlights Extraction in Cricket

ABSTRACT: This project deals with a very important branch of artificial intelligence, i.e. Vision. This project presents ways to detect important segments of a cricket video, and thus extract highlights automatically from a full length video. Similar techniques can be implied to create highlights of other sports too, thus reducing huge amount of efforts people put to create game highlights in sports. In this project, we specifically aim to produce better and reliable results using supervised learning. The extraction process is carried out at multiple levels, removing some unnecessary part of the video at each level. We achieve promising results, which are significant improvements over those of unsupervised methods prevalent for this problem.
