The modeling, representation, summarization, indexing, retrieval and browsing of video data w.r.t to visual content will be the basic research of VIDEO-SUM project.

The application to be developed will provide description, organization, search, storage and edit of audiovisual data produced by end-users. Moreover, the ability to create video summaries automatically and fast will also be available. Usually, videos related to cultural events, filming at monuments and archaeological sites, have large duration, therefore such video summaries constitute a valuable knowledge and contribute to the promotion and enhancement of cultural heritage. Emphasis will be given to processing of news and documentaries .
