Abstract
A method and apparatus for generating a summary of a plurality of distinct data streams (for example video data streams). A plurality of related data streams are collected. The data streams comprise a plurality of segments and each segment is synchronized (205). Overlapping segments of the synchronized data streams are detected (207, 309) and one the overlapping segments is selected (215) to generate a summary (217) which includes the selected overlapping segment.
