We present a novel method for extracting highlights from a badminton video. Firstly, we classify the different views of badminton videos for video segmentation through building classification model based on transfer learning, and achieve high-precision with real-time segmentation. Secondly, based on object detection by the object detecting model YOLOv3, we locate players in a video segment and calculate the players` average velocity to extract highlights from a badminton video. Video segments with higher players` average velocity reflect the intense scenes of a badminton game, so we can regard them as highlights in a way. We extract highlights by sorting badminton video segments with higher players` average velocity, which make users save their time to enjoy the highlights of an entire video. We laterally evaluate the proposed method through verifying whether a segment has admitted objective details such as exciting response from audiences and positive evaluation from narrators.
