8-Feature based approach for Intelligent Frame Extraction of Events for Cricket Highlight Generation using Support Vector Machine

This project compacts with a very significant Field in Computer Vision. In this we display how to find and detect important parts of a cricket video, After all the detect features would become starting event that would be automatically from a full length video. Similar techniques can be implied to capture the starting event of cricket match and other Sports too. In This project, our goal to produce more and dependable results using Neural Networking. We rank the intensity of attention to discriminate boundaries of highlights. Such a framework alleviates semantic uncertainty around sport highlights and leads to an eﬃcient and eﬀective highlight detection The Mining process is carried out at multiple levels, removing some needless part of the video at each level.
