A Robust Wipe Detection Algorithm
Chong‐Wah Ngo, Ting-Chuen Pong · 2006
In this paper, we present an improved wipe detec-tion algorithm by analyzing spatio-temporal slices of videos. The algorithm is based on the observation that the regional boundaries of various shapes in spatio-temporal slices give rise to different wipe patterns. Wipes can be detected by locating these boundaries. Our algorithm thus exploits the structural and color information in slices to detect wipes. Compared with other existing methods, our algorithm is efficient, ca-pable of detecting various wipe patterns, and robust to object and camera motions.
