Shot Boundary Detection: An Information Saliency Approach
Xian Wei Wu, Pong Chi Yuen, Chongkai Liu, Jiwu Huang · 2008
This paper proposes a new approach for shot boundary detection using information saliency. Both temporal and spatial saliency are considered to generate an information saliency map (ISM). The shot detection (both abrupt changes and gradual transitions) is then based on the change of saliency, Six publicly available video databases are used for evaluation and the results are encouraging. The overall performance of the proposed method outperforms two commercial software, namely VideoAnnex and VCM.
