Abstract

Video Shot boundary detection is a fundamental task in any kind of video content analysis and retrieval. Meaningful segments, such as cut or gradual transition, will be found by performing a boundary detection task. This task has already become an important part of the work on TRECVID. In this paper, we propose a general approach for shot boundary detection. We adopt cooperative model to decide whether a shot transition exists within a given video sequence. Such an approach is beneficial for multiple tasks and is carried out through a group of detection agents, which enables the agents to cooperate and be charged with detection task. By fusing detection results of agents, more precise detection effect is obtained. We demonstrate the power of our approach on the TRECVID-2005 benchmarking platform and the experimental results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed method.
