Abstract
A method for performing content-based temporal segmentation of video sequences, the method comprises the steps of transmitting the video sequence to a processor, identifying within the video sequence a plurality of type-specific individual temporal segments using a plurality of type-specific detectors; analyzing and refining the plurality of type-specific individual temporal segments identified in the identifying the plurality of type-specific individual temporal segments step; and outputting a list of locations within the video sequence of the identified type-specific individual temporal segments.
Claims14
A method for performing content-based temporal segmentation of video sequences comprising the steps of:
- (a) transmitting the video sequences to a processor;
- (b) identifying within the video sequences camera shot temporal segments using frame-to-frame difference metrics followed by a clustering operation on the frame-to-frame difference metrics;
- and
- (c) outputting a list of locations within the video sequences of the camera shot temporal segments based on the clustering operation on the frame-to-frame difference metrics.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon for performing the steps of:
- (a) transmitting video sequences to a processor;
- (b) identifying within the video sequences camera shot temporal segments using frame-to-frame difference metrics followed by a clustering operation on the frame-to-frame difference metrics;
- and
- (c) outputting a list of locations within the video sequences of the camera shot temporal segments based on the clustering operation on the frame-to-frame difference metrics.
