Smart Highlights: Automated Summarization of Cricket Videos introduces an innovative approach to generating concise, text-based summaries from cricket video footage, providing fans and content creators with quick, detailed overviews of key match events. This project addresses the challenge of efficiently processing lengthy cricket matches to highlight pivotal moments and player performances. The solution starts by extracting the audio commentary from cricket video footage and preprocessing it to reduce background noise, isolating the commentator’s voice for clarity. The cleaned audio is transcribed into text using Open AI’s Whisper model, accurately capturing the match narrative, including scores, player names, and event details. Complementing this transcription, match data is retrieved using Rapid API, which provides official scorecard details such as player statistics, scores, and other critical metrics. Finally, Google’s generative AI, integrated via the google. generative ai library on the Vertex AI platform, processes the commentary and scorecard data to produce structured, readable summaries. These summaries highlight pivotal moments like boundaries, wickets, and standout player performances. This automated summarization offers a valuable tool for sports media agencies, social media platforms, and cricket enthusiasts who seek quick, insightful match highlights. By combining audio processing, data retrieval, and generative AI, Smart Highlights provides an efficient, scalable solution for transforming cricket matches into concise, accessible summaries, enhancing the speed and quality of sports media consumption.
