Summarization of cricket videos is very important because of three reasons: 1) its long duration making manual highlights generation tedious 2) less explored area compared to other sports like soccer 3) huge viewership. We propose a novel summarization scheme for cricket which exploits its contextual semantics. First, we detect the bowling frames based on which the video is temporally segmented into individual deliveries. Then each temporal segment representing a delivery is classified into an interesting or non-interesting segment based on detection of events namely boundaries and wickets. Due to the high frequency of ads and replays in cricket, we have proposed robust algorithms for their removal. Finally, we have proposed a finite state automaton based modeling of the temporal segments to extract key-frames. We have also extended the framework to include text cues and expert choices and also developed a hierarchical summary. We have tested our algorithm on several broadcast cricket videos and obtained good results.
