Compression project >> Video Area Home

Project, Ideas: Dr. Dmitriy Vatolin, Alexander Parshin
Implementation: Ivan Glazistov
Updating and additions: Sergey Grishin

Common Description

Scene Change Detector is made to automatic identification of scene boundaries in video sequence.

Change Log

[!] - Known bug
[+] - New Feature
[*] - Other

Version 1.2
[*] Windows Vista & Windows 7 support implemented

Usage

The plugin implements four algorithms of similarity measurements between two adjacency frames in video sequence:

1. Pixel-level frames comparison
2. Global Histogram comparison
3. Block-Based Histogram comparison
4. Motion-Based similarity measure

Visualisation

Y-plane is drawing during the visualization. Brightness of scene boundary frames is increased.

Example of visualization:

Plots

Metric's plot is making after all measurements. "One" value means that current frame is the first frame in scene, other frames have "zero" values. Sequence average value is the number of detected scene changes.

Plot's example:

Algorithm

Pixel-level comparison

Public MSU video filters Here are available VirtualDub and AviSynth filters. For a given type of digital video filtration we typically develop a family of different algorithms and implementations. Generally there are also versions optimized for PC and hardware implementations (ASIC/FPGA/DSP). These optimized versions can be licensed to companies.
