Dissolve transition detection using B-splines interpolation

We present a novel identification technique for dissolve transitions in video sequences. Our scheme is to estimate the actual transition curve by polynomial data interpolation. We make use of "goodness" of fit to determine the presence of dissolve transitions. A B-spline polynomial curve fitting technique is used. Our approach is able to recover the original transition behavior of a dissolve edit effect even if it was distorted by various post-processing stages.
