Abstract
A method for automatically detecting a segment where a mosaic fade, formed by a plurality of tiles, occurs in a digital video, the method comprising the steps of: locating the segment of the digital video containing the plurality of tiles in each frame; detecting whether the tiles, within the located segment, have a predetermined increase or decrease in size from one frame to a next frame; identifying a boundary of the mosaic fade based on the previous step.

A method for automatically detecting a segment where a mosaic fade, formed by a plurality of tiles, occurs in a digital video, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) locating the segment of the digital video containing the plurality of tiles in each frame;
- (b) detecting whether the tiles, within the located segment, have a predetermined increase or decrease in size from one frame to a next frame;
- (c) identifying a boundary of the mosaic fade based on step (b).
A system for automatically detecting a segment where a mosaic fade, formed by a plurality of tiles, occurs in a digital video, the system comprises:
- (a) means for locating the segment of the digital video containing the plurality of tiles in each frame;
- (b) means for detecting whether the tiles, within the located segment, have a predetermined increase or decrease in size from one frame to a next frame;
- (c) means for identifying a boundary of the mosaic fade based on step (b).
A computer program product for automatically detecting a segment where a mosaic fade, formed by a plurality of tiles, comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon for performing the steps of:
- (a) locating the segment of the digital video containing the plurality of tiles in each frame;
- (b) detecting whether the tiles, within the located segment, have a predetermined increase or decrease in size from one frame to a next frame;
- (c) identifying a boundary of the mosaic fade based on step (b).
