Abstract: Traditional video analysis relies on video frames, which often contain redundant data, making key frame extraction essential. However, existing methods frequently suffer from missing or redundant frames. To address this, this paper proposes a video key frame extraction method based on distributed artificial intelligence. First, mutual information between video frames is calculated. Then, SIFT feature points are extracted and transformed into polar coordinates, with each frame divided into sector regions to count feature points and compute inter-frame distances. To enhance precision, the CaffeNet model is adopted as a deep neural network to extract deep features using three training techniques. This approach significantly improves the accuracy of key frame extraction. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves higher fidelity and compression rates than traditional techniques, and the extracted key frames align closely with reference standards without frame omission, demonstrating its effectiveness and robustness in real-world applications.

Keywords: distributed artificial intelligence technology; film and television video; key frame extraction; SIFT feature points.
