Video Shot Detection Techniques Brief Overview
Mohini Deokar, Ruhi Kabra · 2014
Abstract — The first step in video processing is temporal segmentation, i.e. shot boundary detection. Camera shot transitions can be either abrupt (e.g. cut) or gradual (e.g. fades, dissolves, wipes).Video segmentation is essential for video structure analysis and content based video management. One of the most challenging domains for shot boundary detection is sports video. Here we present a classification of shot boundary detection algorithms, including those that deal with gradual shot transitions. A current research topic on video includes video abstraction or summarization, video classification, video annotation and content based video retrieval.
