  • Publication number: 20190130192
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that generate a summary storyboard from a plurality of image frames. An example computer-implemented method can include inputting a plurality of image frames into a machine-learned model and receiving as an output of the machine-learned model, object data that describes the respective locations of a plurality of objects recognized in the plurality of image frames. The method can include generating a plurality of image crops that respectively include the plurality of objects and arranging two or more of the plurality of image crops to generate a storyboard.
