MPEG video modelling based on scene description

We propose a video model to generate a VBR MPEG video traffic based on the scene description. Long sessions of non-homogeneous video clips are decomposed into homogeneous video shots. The shots are then classified into different classes in terms of their texture and motion complexity. Each shot class can be uniquely described and modelled as a homogeneous video. The model may be used to generate traffic of any type of video scenes ranging from a low complexity video conferencing to a highly active sport program
