What is Video Cut Editing Rule Based on Participants' Gaze in Multiparty Conversation about?

This paper proposes a video cut editing rule based on participants' gaze for extracting and conveying the flow of conversation in multiparty conversation. Systems that record meetings and those that support teleconferences are attracting considerable interest. Conventional systems use a fixedviewpoint camera and simple camera selection based on participants' utterances. However, conventional systems fail to convey a sufficient amount of nonverbal information about the participants and the flow of conversation. We focus on participants' gaze since it is a good indicator of the participants' intent and emotion, conversational attention etc. We propose a video cut editing rule based on the convergence of participants' gaze direction. We conduct an experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results indicate that the proposed method can successfully convey who is taking to whom, which is a key indicator of the flow of conversation.
