An automatic shot change detection algorithm using weighting variance and histogram variation

In this paper, we propose an automatic shot change detection algorithm using weighting variance and histogram variation. The proposed method consists of the following elements: weighting variance, adaptive threshold and automatic weighting. We obtained better the detection rate than conventional methods based on variance value about 8% and previous approach based on an adaptive threshold maximally about 5.7% in the experiment with the same test sequences. The proposed algorithm will be helpful in various applications which require an automatic shot change detection.
