This paper proposed a shot boundary detection approach using Genetic Algorithm and Fuzzy Logic. In this, the membership functions of the fuzzy system are calculated using Genetic Algorithm by taking preobserved actual values for shot boundaries. The classification of the types of shot transitions is done by the fuzzy system. Experimental results show that the accuracy of the shot boundary detec...

Many algorithms have been proposed for detecting video shot boundaries and classifying shot and shot transition types. Few published studies compare available algorithms, and those that do have looked at limited range of test material. This paper presents a comparison of several shot boundary detection and classification techniques and their variations including histograms, discrete cosine tran...

Cinematography relies on a rich vocabulary of shots and framing parameters to communicate narrative event structures. This cinematic vocabulary stems from the physical capabilities of camera movement and uses aesthetic aspects to engage the audience and influence audience comprehension. At present, automatic physical camera control is limited in cinematic vocabulary. Virtual cameras, on the oth...

We propose a unified framework which combines a novel color representation, i.e. spatial color descriptors, and a post-refinement process to detect various types of shot boundaries, including abrupt shot changes, flashlights, dissolves, fade-ins and fade-outs. The spatial color descriptor involving color adjacency and color vector angle histograms incorporates spatial information into color rep...

This paper focuses on a time based Interestingness measure for movies. We define Interestingness as a function of time, variation in shot sequences and changes in sound properties.

When an electric current passes across a potential barrier, the partition process of electrons at the barrier gives rise to the shot noise, reflecting the discrete nature of the electric charge. Here we report the observation of excess shot noise connected with a spin current which is induced by a nonequilibrium spin accumulation in an all-semiconductor lateral spin-valve device. We find that t...

We use dispersive Fourier transformation to measure shot-to-shot spectral instabilities in femtosecond supercontinuum generation. We study both the onset phase of supercontinuum generation with distinct dispersive wave generation, as well as a highly-unstable supercontinuum regime spanning an octave in bandwidth. Wavelength correlation maps allow interactions between separated spectral componen...

For more efficient organizing, browsing, and retrieving digital video content, it is important to extract video structure information at both scene and shot levels. This paper presents an effective approach to video scene segmentation based on a pseudo-object-based shot correlation analysis. A new measure of the semantic correlation of consecutive shots based on dominant color grouping and trac...
