An efficient algorithm for video shot boundary detection
Zheng Jie, Fengmei Zou, Mandel Shi · 2005
An heuristic algorithm is proposed in this paper that detects video shot boundaries. In this algorithm, adaptive thresholds are automatically selected for a given video; the effects of flashlight, object motion, and temporal shot on abrupt shot boundary detection are filtered by the thresholds, and separation of fade in, fade out temporal cut from object motion is done by a Robert operator-based edge-detection method. This technique was tested on a few types of different videos. The experimental results show that this method is efficient both in accuracy and speed.
