Detection of Fast Scene Changes Using a Statistical Technique

영상의 통계적 특성을 이용한 급격한 장면전화 검출 알고리즘

We propose a statically motivated scene change detection algorithm. As the difference between the neighboring frames will generate peaks at scene boundaries, the problem of detecting fast scene changes is equivalent to detecting peaks in a given sequence. In this paper, the peak detection is performed via several statistics, namely the sample means and variances. For eliminating flash lights as well as detecting fast scene changes within a small number of frames, we have opted to use a two-stage process for computing the necessary statistics. The results indicate superiority of necessary statistics. The results indicate superiority of the proposed algorithm over the previously reported algorithm.
