Shot type characterization in 2D and 3D video content

Due to the enormous increase of video and image content on the web in the last decades, automatic video annotation became a necessity. The successful annotation of video and image content facilitate a successful indexing and retrieval in search databases. In this work we study a variety of possible shot type characterizations that can be assigned in a single video frame or still image. Possible ways to propagate these characterizations to a video segment (or to an entire shot) are also discussed. A method for the detection of Over-the-Shoulder shots in 3D (stereo) video is also proposed.
