Abstract

A synopsis video includes a plurality of synopsis frames manufactured by using plural chronological source frames which include a plurality of foreground objects. Each of the foreground objects appearing in one of the synopsis frames just exists at one position of the synopsis frame. At least one portion of the foreground objects appearing in one of the synopsis frames originates from the source frames of different times. One of the foreground objects that originates from a later source frame appears in a later synopsis frame, and the foreground object that originates from a former source frame appears in a former synopsis frame.

Claims

1. A manufacturing method of synopsis frames, comprising the steps of:

receiving a first source frame;

taking out at least one first foreground object from the first source frame;

putting the first foreground object in a first synopsis frame;

receiving a second source frame, which is later than the first source frame;

taking out at least a second foreground object from the second source frame; and

putting the second foreground object in the first synopsis frame if the second foreground object doesn'"'"'t overlap the first foreground object in the first synopsis frame.

2. The manufacturing method of synopsis frames as recited in claim 1, further comprising the step of:

taking out the first foreground object from the second source frame, and putting the first foreground object in a second synopsis frame.

3. The manufacturing method of synopsis frames as recited in claim 2, further comprising the steps of:

taking out a third foreground object from a third source frame, and putting the third foreground object in the first synopsis frame if the third foreground object doesn'"'"'t overlap the first foreground object in the first synopsis frame;

putting the third foreground object in the second synopsis frame if the third foreground object overlaps the first foreground object in the first synopsis frame but doesn'"'"'t overlap the first foreground object or the second foreground object in the second synopsis frame; and

putting the third foreground object in a third synopsis frame if the third foreground object overlaps the first foreground object in the first synopsis frame and overlaps the first foreground object or the second foreground object in the second synopsis frame.

4. The manufacturing method of synopsis frames as recited in claim 2, further comprising the step of:

taking out the second foreground object from a third source frame, and putting the second foreground object in the second synopsis frame.

5. The manufacturing method of synopsis frames as recited in claim 4, further comprising the steps of:

taking out a third foreground object from a third source frame, and putting the third foreground object in the first synopsis frame if the third foreground object doesn'"'"'t overlap the first foreground object in the first synopsis frame;

putting the third foreground object in the second synopsis frame if the third foreground object overlaps the first foreground object in the first synopsis frame but doesn'"'"'t overlap the first foreground object or the second foreground object in the second synopsis frame; and

putting the third foreground object in a third synopsis frame if the third foreground object overlaps the first foreground object in the first synopsis frame and overlaps the first foreground object or the second foreground object in the second synopsis frame.

6. The manufacturing method of synopsis frames as recited in claim 1, wherein the borders of the first source frame and the second source frame are the same.

7. A manufacturing method of synopsis frames, comprising the steps of:

receiving a first source frame;

taking out at least one first foreground object from the first source frame;

putting the first foreground object in a first synopsis frame;

receiving a second source frame, which is later than the first source frame;

taking out at least a second foreground object from the second source frame; and

putting the second foreground object in a second synopsis frame if the second foreground object overlaps the first foreground object in the first synopsis frame.

8. The manufacturing method of synopsis frames as recited in claim 7, further comprising the steps of:

taking out the first foreground object from the second source frame, and putting the first foreground object in the second synopsis frame.

9. The manufacturing method of synopsis frames as recited in claim 8, further comprising the steps of:

taking out a third foreground object from a third source frame, and putting the third foreground object in the first synopsis frame if the third foreground object doesn'"'"'t overlap the first foreground object in the first synopsis frame;

putting the third foreground object in the second synopsis frame if the third foreground object overlaps the first foreground object in the first synopsis frame but doesn'"'"'t overlap the first foreground object and the second foreground object in the second synopsis frame; and

putting the third foreground object in a third synopsis frame if the third foreground object overlaps the first foreground object in the first synopsis frame, and overlaps the first foreground object or the second foreground object in the second synopsis frame, but doesn'"'"'t overlap the second foreground object in the third synopsis frame.

10. The manufacturing method of synopsis frames as recited in claim 8, further comprising the step of:

taking out the second foreground object from a third source frame, and putting the second foreground object in a third synopsis frame.

11. The manufacturing method of synopsis frames as recited in claim 10, further comprising the steps of:

taking out a third foreground object from the third source frame, and putting the third foreground object in the first synopsis frame if the third foreground object doesn'"'"'t overlap the first foreground object in the first synopsis frame;

putting the third foreground object in the second synopsis frame if the third foreground object overlaps the first foreground object in the first synopsis frame but doesn'"'"'t overlap the first foreground object and the second foreground object in the second synopsis frame; and

putting the third foreground object in the third synopsis frame if the third foreground object overlaps the first foreground object in the first synopsis frame, and overlaps the first foreground object or the second foreground object in the second synopsis frame, but doesn'"'"'t overlap the second foreground object in the third synopsis frame.

12. The manufacturing method of synopsis frames as recited in claim 7, wherein the borders of the first source frame and the second source frame are the same.

13. A synopsis video including a plurality of synopsis frames manufactured by using plural chronological source frames which include a plurality of foreground objects, wherein each of the foreground objects appearing in one of the synopsis frames just exists at one position of the synopsis frame, at least one portion of the foreground objects appearing in one of the synopsis frames originates from the source frames of different times, and one of the foreground objects that originates from a later source frame appears in a later synopsis frame, and the foreground object that originates from a former source frame appears in a former synopsis frame.
