Online content enabling viewers to quickly see what a TV program is about, in the form of summary videos shared on the program’s website or on social media, is increasingly important. To support the production work of online content, STRL is developing technology to automatically summarize program video using AI, and technology to extract possible images to be used as thumbnails. These two technologies, showcased here, could boost Internet deployments of various TV programs.
