Method of locating images in a film, uses computation of characteristic value for each scene and compares quantized version of this value with database to quickly locate image

摘要

The image location allow sequential image entry (13) from the film. A characteristic value for each image is computed (14), with a first stage (16) deriving the value and a second stage (17) quantifying this value. A selector (15) determines which parts of the quantified value are to be compared (18) with a database. The result of the comparison can then be edited (19).
