Video shot boundary detection: A review

Due to huge growth in multimedia and technology, it is very important to go through the point of interest rather than accessing the entire video. For efficient indexing and retrieving the interest points, content based video retrieval is used. The first step toward CBVR is shot boundary detection. It is necessary to partition the video into shots for easy indexing and retrieval of video. Therefore, segmentation plays an important role in digital media processing, pattern recognition, and computer vision. In this paper, we present different approaches to shot boundary detection problem.
