In this paper, a generalized statistical tool is introduced to estimate key frames in a video sequence. The tool works based on the inter-relationship between different features of image frames in a video. The image feature vectors are plotted in feature space as points and a randomness measure is determined from the distribution of these points. The randomness measure of the feature vectors is defined with respect to simulated random point patterns and expressed as a probability value of a frame being a key frame. Since, depending on the video content more than one inter-relationship of features can be used to determine a single key frame, different probability values are derived to support a frame as a key frame. To integrate these probability values a combiner model is designed to uniquely decide the status of a key frame. The combiner model is based on the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. To demonstrate the idea, randomness measures, and consequently the probabilities of a frame to be a key frame, are obtained separately from spatial domain and frequency domain features. The combined probability value enhances the confidence in selecting a frame as a key frame. The result is tested on a number of standard video sequences and it outperforms the related approach
