Efficient Detection of Abrupt Transitions Using Statistical Methods

Abstract

The rapid increment of technological advancements in the field of multimedia stream has piled up data production and consumption in cyberspace in the past two decades. It has prompted a swift increase in data transmission volume and repository size. Video is the most consumed data type on the internet. So, retrieval of selected video clips from the extra-large database of videos is extremely complex. The video shot boundary detection (SBD) is used for retrieval of desired video clips. It also is the fundamental step in video processing, which also was found important for applications like video browsing and indexing. The SBD handles the identification of abrupt and gradual transitions in the video database. In this paper, the statistical methods have implemented to detect the abrupt cuts. This benefitted the advantage of less complexity. The experiments are performed on TRECVID 2007 dataset, and the results obtained with high accuracy in less computational time.
