In this work, we focus on two aspects of the comparison of video shots. We present a new approach to extract a variable number of key frames from a shot, by the use of a hierarchical clustering with automatic level selection, in order to provide optimal allocation of features on different parts of the shot. We then employ the Mallows distance as an effective technique to compare the discrete distributions of features, independently from the features selected for the specific application. Results and comparisons on a soccer documentary video are provided.
