Abstract

Temporal segmentation of a video into its constituent shots is the basic step towards the exploration about the organization of digital video for all higher level analysis. Video shot detection methods in the literature mostly involve heuristics and fail to perform satisfactorily under varied shot detection scenarios. Though model based shot recognition methods are popular, they are inadequate when a given test video sequence contains transitions. Not much work has been reported which deal with the changes in activities in areas where we have to recognize the activities over a long video sequence. We formulate this as a novel N-class, model based shot detection problem and present a stochastic, asymptotically optimal procedure as a solution to such a scenario, so that neither changes in content nor the types of shot transition hinder the decision making process. A hidden Markov model (HMM), trained using a few relevant features from the different classes of frame sequences is employed to achieve this goal. We present extensive experimental results to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
