The invention belongs to the technical field of computer application, and specifically relates to a spiral abstract generation method oriented to video content. The method provided by the invention is implemented through a
system comprising a preprocessing module, a
layout module and a smooth transformation module, firstly, a video is treated by the preprocessing operations, such as shot segmentation, shot screening,
key frame extraction, and
region of interest extraction, to obtain the
region of interest of the
key frame, then, the ROI (Regions of Interest) are arranged on a spiral geometric structure through a spiral abstract
layout algorithm, and then, the display region of the
key frame is processed so as to obtain a new spiral abstract presentation form capable of effectively presenting the video content. The method provided by the invention can be used for presenting the video content in a spiral form, supporting the continuous display of the video content, keeping the linear timeliness of the video
stream, improving the
utilization rate of the
screen space, and supporting the multi-point touch gesture and the continuous zooming mode to implement multi-scale
video browsing, thereby improving the video content understanding efficiency and the video location efficiency of users.
