Multimodal Video Characterization and Summarization is a valuable research tool for both professionals and academicians working in the video field.

This book describes the methodology for using multimodal audio, image, and text technology to characterize video content. This new and groundbreaking science has led to many advances in video understanding, such as the development of a video summary. Applications and methodology for creating video summaries are described, as well as user-studies for evaluation and testing.

Unlike other texts, this book condenses the description of multimodal technologies and focuses more on their integration There is no book that provides the same level of detail and experimentation in the area of video characterization No other book in this field contains a detailed description of user-studies and evaluations for video characterization and summarization
