Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If threshold value-based methods are used for video summarization, then the system can be effective for specific video types, but it requires costly experimental optimization and cannot be applied to various types of video
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the fixed threshold value approach into a dynamic parameter system using fuzzy logic. Instead of relying on experimentally determined threshold values, the system uses fuzzy membership functions that adaptively evaluate shot importance based on multiple visual characteristics (color, motion, texture) and contextual factors. This allows the summarization system to effectively handle diverse video types without requiring separate experimental optimization for each category.
2Manufacturing precision
If experimentally determined threshold values are used, then video abridgment can be optimized for specific cases, but the task of setting optimized threshold values requires large costs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-adaptive system where the fuzzy logic framework automatically determines shot importance weights based on visual characteristics without requiring manual experimental optimization. The system evaluates color variance, motion magnitude, and texture changes to dynamically adjust parameters, eliminating the time-consuming process of experimental threshold setting while maintaining high optimization precision.
3Ease of operation
If conventional clustering methods are used for shot grouping, then the method can analyze correlation between shots, but it excessively depends on threshold values for determining representative shots
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces fuzzy logic as an intermediary layer between shot clustering and representative selection. Instead of directly using threshold values to determine representatives, the system employs fuzzy membership functions that evaluate multiple characteristics (color, motion, texture) to compute importance degrees. This intermediary mechanism simplifies the operation of shot grouping while reducing dependency on arbitrary threshold values by providing a continuous, adaptive evaluation framework.

AI summary
Disclosed is an automatic video summarization device and method using a fuzzy OC-SVM (one-class support vector machine) algorithm. A user's subjective decision is reflected in order to generate an effective video summary, and a method for generating flexible video summary information which satisfies the user's environment or requirements is provided. Important video segments are extracted from a given video, and a sequence of key frames is extracted from the video segments, and hence, the user can catch the contents of the video quickly and access desired video scenes.
