In this paper we present a video summarization tool and demonstrate how it can be successfully used in the domain of arthroscopic videos. The proposed tool generates a keyframe-based summary, which clusters visually similar frames based on user-selected visual features and appropriate dissimilarity metrics. We discuss how this tool can be used for arthroscopic videos, taking advantage of several domain-specific aspects, without losing its ability to work on general-purpose videos. Experimental results confirm the feasibility of the proposed approach and encourage extending it to other application domains.}, address = {Berlin, Heidelberg, New York}, language = {EN}, publisher = {Springer}, url = {http://www.springerlink.com/content/u037362581245316/} }
