New PRISM framework achieves efficient video summarization with minimal frame selection

Researchers have developed PRISM, a novel framework for efficient procedural video summarization that operates without requiring prior training. This method selects less than 5% of video frames, retaining over 84% of semantic content and outperforming existing methods by up to 7.5%. PRISM utilizes lightweight visual filtering and dynamically generated procedural labels as semantic anchors to identify and group meaningful frames, thereby reducing computational costs and improving the understanding of key actions and transitions. AI

IMPACT This method could significantly reduce computational costs for video analysis and improve the efficiency of documenting and analyzing procedural content in various fields.

    Less is More: Label-Guided Efficient Summarization of Procedural and Instructional Videos

    arXiv:2601.12243v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Video summarization transforms long videos into concise representations that are easier to document and analyze, especially in high-stakes domains such as surgical training. However, long-form videos often require dense fr…
