Abstract—Video shot detection is an important contemporary problem since it is the first step toward automatic indexing, content based video retrieval and many other different applications. A novel shot boundary detection using wavelet and Support Vector Machine is proposed in this paper. Shot boundary detection algorithms work by extracting the color and the edge in different direction from wavelet transition coefficients. A multi-class support vector machine (SVM) classifier is used to classify the video shot into three categories: cut transition(CT), gradual transition(GT) and normal sequences (NF). To enhance the robustness of the algorithm, we form the feature vector from all frames within a temporal window. Numerical experiments using a variety of videos demonstrate that our method is capable of accurately detecting and discriminating shot transitions in videos with different characteristics.
