Adaptive shot segmentation method based on histogram frame difference

An improved adaptive shot segmentation method based on intensity histogram frame difference is proposed.The approach contains two processing modes.One is dedicated to detection of abrupt shot,and the other for detection of gradual shot.These two modes are selected automatically according to comparing intensity histogram frame difference with adaptive threshold.The discontinuous frame difference is used to detect flashlight in the process of the detection of abrupt shot.The gradual transition is detected based on the variance of frame difference.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs better results.
