The mechanism to recognize highlights from videos
is basic and fundamental problem for indexing and retrieval
applications. In this paper we propose techniques to generate
sports highlights from cricket video using techniques of optical
character recognition. First the score bar is extracted from the
frames then the character recognition techniques are used to
extract information for events like sixes, fours and wickets. A
short video summary is synthesized that includes the frames for
the aforementioned significant events termed as Highlights. The
process of sports highlights generation is automated resulting in a
condensed summary for the viewer that reduces the time and
space requirements.
