In this paper, we address the visual video summarization problem in a Bayesian framework in order to detect and describe the underlying temporal transformation symmetries in a video sequence. Given a set of time correlated frames, we attempt to extract a reduced number of image-like data structures which are semantically meaningful and that have the ability of representing the sequence evolution. To this end, we present a generative model which involves jointly the representation and the evolution of appearance. Applying Linear Dynamical System theory to this problem, we discuss how the temporal information is encoded yielding a manner of grouping the iconic representations of the video sequence in terms of invariance. The formulation of this problem is driven in terms of a probabilistic approach, which affords a measure of perceptual similarity taking both learned appearance and time evolution models into account.
