An integrated framework for automatic extraction of the most characteristic frames or scenes of a video sequence is presented in this paper. This is accomplished by extracting a collection of a small number of frames or scenes that provide sufficient information about the video sequence. The scene/frame selection mechanism is based on a transformation from the image to a feature domain, which is more suitable for image comparisons, queries and retrieval.
