VIDEO CONTENT PARSER WITH SCENE CHANGE DETECTOR

摘要

A multiplexed motion picture stream (e.g., video) is demultiplexed. The moti on picture stream contains one or more images from each of a plurality of camer a sources. The process of demultiplexing the stream is automated and does not require user intervention. The stream is demultiplexed by identifying images within the image stream and comparing the images to representative images fr om camera sources. During comparison a mismatch value is determined and is compared to a mismatch threshold. If the mismatch value is below the mismatc h threshold, the image is assigned to a channel associated with the camera. In some embodiments after demultiplexing, stored motion picture images of different channels can be viewed simultaneously at the same image by advanci ng to a given image of only one stored channel.
