We propose a novel memory network model named Past-Future Memory Network (PFMN) for story-based temporal summarization of 360° videos. PFMN first computes the score of 81 normal field of view (NFOV) region proposals cropped from the input 360° video, and then recovers a latent, collective storyline using a memory network that involves two external memories to store the embeddings of previously selected subshots and future candidate subshots. Our major contributions are two-fold. First, our work is the first to address story-based temporal summarization of 360° videos. Second, our model is the first attempt to leverage memory networks for video summarization tasks. We empirically validated that the proposed memory network approach outperformed other state-of-the-art methods, not only for view selection but also for story-based temporal summarization in both 360° videos and photostreams.
