APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTION OF SCENE CHANGES IN MOTION VIDEO

摘要

Apparatus and method for new scene detection in a sequence of video frames, comprising: a frame selector for selecting a current frame and one or more following frames; a down sampler, associated with the frame selector, to down sample the selected frames; a distance evaluator to find a statistical distance between the down sampled frames; and a decision maker for evaluating the statistical distance to determine therefrom whether a scene transition has occurred or not.
