A method for detecting scene changes in a video sequence in the compressed domain. DC images are extracted from the macroblocks of the video frames. Histogram differences and pixel difference of the DC images are used for scene cut detection, and the changes in the histogram differences are used for gradual scene change detection. Thus, scene cut detection is based on first order derivatives of the histogram and gradual scene change detection is based on second order derivatives of the histogram. If the macroblocks are intra-coded, they are used to compute the exact DC images. If the macroblocks are not intra-coded, motion information in the frame is partially used for scene change detection.
