Partial-frame transition detection
Marilyn C. Wolf · 2001
This paper introduces a new video analysis problem, partial-frame transition detection, and describes an algorithm to solve the problem. Digital video allows the creation of new transitions between shots that were difficult to make with film—for example, wipes and dissolves can now be performed on only a part of the frame. These partial-frame transitions carry important semantic information but are often too small to be picked up by traditional transition detection algorithms. This paper describes the properties of partial-frame transitions and shows how to detect them.
