SBD-Duo: a dual stage shot boundary detection technique robust to motion and illumination effect.

In this paper, we propose a novel shot boundary detection technique using gradient and colour information. The gradient similarity and luminance distortion are calculated to measure the contrast and structural changes of each frame including luminance changes. In the proposed system, the effects of the changes in luminance and contrast-structure are integrated via an adaptive method to extract the possible transitions using an adaptive threshold across the videos. In the verification part, CIEDE2000 colour-difference values of the possible transition frames are compared for declaration of abrupt and gradual transitions. Our system takes effectively less computational time to detect abrupt and gradual transition for a video as compared with contemporary solutions. Our proposed system also gives dominate the performance as compared with latest techniques in terms of F1 score using TRECVid 2001 and 2007 selected dataset. We have performed a series of rigorous experimentation to validate our claims. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
