Motion estimation of projected spatio-temporal slice for shot boundary detection

In most of the existing shot boundary detection algorithms, the false/miss detection problem caused by motion is very serious. In this paper, firstly, we propose a new spatio-temporal slice called projected spatio-temporal slice (PSTS) that can effectively eliminate disturbance caused by motion. Then we present approaches for detecting camera cuts, fades and dissolves based on motion estimation of PSTS. Experimental results indicate that no matter under what kind of motion, it can detect shot transitions fast and effectively, while high recall and precision rate achieved.
