Abstract

We present a newly developed strategy for automatically segmenting movies into logical story units. A logical story unit can be understood as an approximation of a movie episode and as the base for building an event-oriented movie organization structure. The automation aspect is becoming increasingly important with the rising amount of information in emerging digital libraries. The segmentation process is designed to work on MPEG-DC sequences and can be performed in a single pass through a video sequence.
