1. A method at least partially implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:
- identifying one or more arbitrary space-time volumes representing informative video portion(s) of at least one input video data sequence; and
generating a video summary montage of the input video data sequence, the video summary montage being based on the one or more arbitrary space-time volume, the video summary montage for presentation to a user.

Abstract
Systems and methods for space-time video montage are described. In one aspect, one or more arbitrary space-time volumes representing informative video portion(s) of at least one input video data sequence are identified. A video summary representing a montage of the at least one input video data sequence is generated for presentation to user from the one or more arbitrary space-time volumes.

16. A tangible computer-readable data storage medium comprising computer-program instructions executable by a processor, the computer-program instructions when executed by the processor performing operations comprising:
-
extracting visually informative space-time portions from an input video data sequence; representing respective ones of the visually informative space-time portions as respective volumetric saliency layers; positioning at least a subset of the information associated with the volumetric saliency layers into a 3-D video volume to maximize saliency of pixels in the 3-D video volume; merging data associated with the at least a subset of the information in the 3-D video volume to regulate continuity of high-saliency portions of the pixels and provide color coherence at boundaries between respective ones of pixels in the volumetric saliency layers; and wherein the 3-D video volume represents a video summary of the input video data sequence for presentation to a user. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A computing device comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising computer-program instructions executable by the processor, the computer-program instructions when executed by the processor for performing operations comprising; evaluating an input video data sequence as 3-D data to cut off spatio-temporal redundancies, the evaluating comprising; locating spatio-temporal informative video portions of the input video data sequence by evaluating texture levels; representing the spatio-temporal informative video portions as volumetric saliency layers to depict pixel content saliency distributions; packing and merging a subset of data associated with the volumetric saliency layers into a 3-D volume for presentation as a video summary montage to a user; and presenting the 3-D volume as a video summary of the input video data sequence to user.
