Abstract
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.
