Performance Evaluation of Interframe Histogram Difference Technique for Advertisement Detection in Digital Videos

There is a number of automated shot-change detection methods for indexing a video sequence to facilitate browsing and retrieval have been proposed in recent years. In this paper, shot change (hard cut) detection that is based on "inter-frame difference" and its comparison with a threshold are discussed. The summery of changing video threshold on hard cut detection is done. A threshold value is evaluated for the efficient extraction of complete advertisement. The key component in the advertisement is the frequency of shots breaks along with blank frames. Results of these MATLAB based computer simulations have been reported.
