Abstract(in English) Recently, YouTubers are becoming more and more popular, and how to make thumbnails attractive is important to attract viewers. In this paper, we propose the automatic generation of YouTuber video thumbnails that satisfy the following three points: YouTuber's facial expression is rich in the frame, the video's subject is clearly shown, and a character string that clearly describes the content are inserted. We compared thumbnails generated by the proposed method with those by existing methods or those of actually posted videos (i.e., ground truth) and evaluated the results.
