For the drawbacks of the available algorithms for shot boundary detection of gradual transitions, this paper presents a hierarachical detection method, cutting before detection. This method combines wavelet analysis, fuzzy clustering and statistical techniques, which can distinguish the video shots with gradual transitions from those with abrupt transition. While it can locate the gradual shot boundary accurately. Since the proposed method does not need any empirical threshold, it avoids the interaction with human. The experimental results with real video clips demonstrates its effectiveness and robustness.
