1024.Video Stitching(视频拼接)

Description

You are given a series of video clips from a sporting event that lasted T seconds. These video clips can be overlapping with each other and have varied lengths.

Each video clip clips[i] is an interval: it starts at time clips[i][0] and ends at time clips[i][1]. We can cut these clips into segments freely: for example, a clip [0, 7] can be cut into segments [0, 1] + [1, 3] + [3, 7].

Return the minimum number of clips needed so that we can cut the clips into segments that cover the entire sporting event ([0, T]). If the task is impossible, return -1.


你将会获得一系列视频片段,这些片段来自于一项持续时长为 T 秒的体育赛事。这些片段可能有所重叠,也可能长度不一。

视频片段 clips[i] 都用区间进行表示:开始于 clips[i][0] 并于 clips[i][1] 结束。我们甚至可以对这些片段自由地再剪辑,例如片段 [0, 7] 可以剪切成 [0, 1] + [1, 3] + [3, 7] 三部分。

我们需要将这些片段进行再剪辑,并将剪辑后的内容拼接成覆盖整个运动过程的片段([0, T])。返回所需片段的最小数目,如果无法完成该任务,则返回 -1

Difficulty: medium

Example 1:

Input: clips = [[0,2],[4,6],[8,10],[1,9],[1,5],[5,9]], T = 10
Output: 3
Explanation: 
We take the clips [0,2], [8,10], [1,9]; a total of 3 clips.
Then, we can reconstruct the sporting event as follows:
We cut [1,9] into segments [1,2] + [2,8] + [8,9].
Now we have segments [0,2] + [2,8] + [8,10] which cover the sporting event [0, 10].

Example 2:

Input: clips = [[0,1],[1,2]], T = 5
Output: -1
Explanation: 
We can't cover [0,5] with only [0,1] and [0,2].

Example 3:

Input: clips = [[0,1],[6,8],[0,2],[5,6],[0,4],[0,3],[6,7],[1,3],[4,7],[1,4],[2,5],[2,6],[3,4],[4,5],[5,7],[6,9]], T = 9
Output: 3
Explanation: 
We can take clips [0,4], [4,7], and [6,9].

Example 4:

Input: clips = [[0,4],[2,8]], T = 5
Output: 2
Explanation: 
Notice you can have extra video after the event ends.

Note:

  • 1 <= clips.length <= 100
  • 0 <= clips[i][0], clips[i][1] <= 100
  • 0 <= T <= 100

分析

  • 找到一个视频之后,下一个视频应该跟上一个视频可以连上,同时保证延续的时间最长;
  • 将clips排序,第一个视频应从零开始,最后一个视频的结束时间应该大于T,否则返回-1;
  • index记录遍历的位置,end记录已选择视频的结束时间,s记录选择的视频数,若index位置的clip的开始时间小于end,继续后移,知道找到满足条件的最完结束的视频,修改end;
  • 若index没有超出范围,修改start,s;
  • 反之返回-1;
  • 结束返回s。

参考代码

class Solution(object):
def videoStitching(self, clips, T):
    clips.sort()
    start=0
    end=0
    if(clips[0][0] > 0 or clips[-1][1] < T):
        return -1
    s=0
    index=-1
    while(end < T):
        while(index+1 < len(clips) and clips[index+1][0] <= start):
            index+=1
            end=max(end,clips[index][1])
        if(index < len(clips)):
            start=end
            s+=1
        else:
            return -1
    return s
