Systems and methods are provided for relevance-based media content discovery. Relevance scores for segments of a media asset are calculated based on a time amount that at least one viewer has viewed the segments of the media asset. Segments are then chosen for display based on the relevance score. Users may select segments based on representative images of the segments.

A recording control device includes: a video data acquisition unit configured to acquire data on a video obtained by shooting an outside of a vehicle; a buffer memory configured to temporarily store the data on the video; an event detection unit configured to detect occurrence of a predetermined event; a traveling information acquisition unit configured to acquire traveling information on the vehicle; and a recording control unit configured to determine a first period based on the traveling information and to record the data on the video, among the data on the video stored in the buffer memory, obtained from a time point as far back as the first period before the time point of detection of the event until a time point at which a second period has passed since the time point of detection of the event.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media can identify an object included in a video content item. A content item associated with the object can be determined during playback of the video content item, wherein the content item is one or more of: a two-dimensional content item or a three-dimensional content item. An indicator associated with the content item can be provided in the video content item. The content item can be provided in response to a selection of the indicator.

A method generating control data for displaying a video sequence on a low resolution display may comprise providing at least a first video sequence, the first video sequence comprising a plurality of image frames, determining whether a first image frame of the first video sequence comprises a sub-image of a primary object, selecting a first position of a primary image portion of an image frame such that the first position substantially matches with the position of the sub-image of the primary object, if the first image frame has been determined to comprise said sub-image of said primary object and providing control data, which indicates said first position.

In a recording medium on which is recorded a multiplexed stream including a plurality of first packets (V_main) constituting a first I-picture in a first video stream and a plurality of second packets (V_sub) constituting a second I-picture in a second video stream, information for identifying the first I-picture and information for identifying the second I-picture are recorded on the medium. A recording medium can thereby be obtained that enables the rapid detection, from a small amount of information, of a particular picture included in a stream such as a TS in which multiple content streams are multiplexed.

To summarize an input image, an image summarization system extracts a background frame and object information of each of objects from an image stream, and receives a region of interest set in a predetermined region of the background frame. The image summarization system selects the extracted objects as queue objects, and generates a summarized video based on the queue object, the background frame, and the region of interest.
