Joint Inter and Intra Shot Modeling for Spectral Video Shot Clustering

This paper proposed a novel video shot clustering algorithm using spectral method by joint modeling of inter and intra shot. Gauss mixture model (GMM) is used for probabilistic space-time modeling of intra-shot pixels. The spectral clustering method is applied on the GMM parameters. The problem of automatic model selection is currently an open issue for spectral method. Here we propose a novel automatic model selection based on joint inter-intra model optimization to achieve the global optimization in both model parameters and cluster numbers. We compare the proposed method with the conventional spectral method for sports video clustering. The simulation results show more accuracy on how many clusters and clustering results
