AI image analysis in era of short-time viewing

Summary videos and program websites have been important in order to raise awareness of programs. However, the production of summary videos and program websites requires high-level specializations and long-time works, as with video editing for broadcast. We have developed new AI image analysis technologies and practical systems using them, such as the automatic generation of news summary video, automatic generation of program summary video, and the automatic extraction of program-thumbnail-images put on website.
