The increased availability and usage of digital video lead to a need for automated video content analysis techniques. Most research on digital video content analysis includes automatic detection of the shot boundaries. However, those methods are not efficient in terms of computational time. In this paper, we propose the digital video camera system that can provide real-time shot boundary detection using the MPEG-7 descriptor. The video camera system is built so that MPEG-7 descriptors are extracted from frames of video. In this paper, the shot boundaries are achieved by measuring a distance of MPEG-7 descriptors for consecutive frames in real-time. Experimental results showed that the proposed video camera system provides fast and effective real-time shot boundary detection.
