Automatic dissolve and fade detection for video sequences

Due to the enormous amount of information contained in multimedia databases, the design of automatic tools to allow content-based analysis, browsing, and retrieval is of paramount importance. We present an algorithm tailored to the detection of editing effects such as dissolve and fade, which are widely used in television and movie production. A computationally inexpensive, although effective, correlation based algorithm is presented. The experimental results highlight the effectiveness of the proposed method.
