Automatic determination of scene changes in MPEG compressed video
Hain-Ching Liu, Gregory L. Zick · 2002
This paper presents a peak-detection algorithm based on the median filter. When used with difference or correlation measures between contiguous video frames, this algorithm can determine significant peaks at "abrupt scene changes" in MPEG compressed video. Experimental data shows the algorithm is effective even for video with significant motion or sudden light changes such as in action movies, or sports video.
