be scrutinized. Processing these huge chunks of video data to find out the possibility of any potential risk demands huge amounts of resources (in terms of time, man-power, and machine configurations).

Moreover, summarization helps generate movie trailers, sports and news video highlights, and keeps records of interesting events for future inspection.
