MSR-Asia at TREC-10 Video Track: Shot Boundary Detection Task

The video track is added into TREC-10, composed of two tasks, automatic shot boundary detection and video retrieval. In this year, we (MSR-Asia) participated in the video track, focusing on shot boundary detection task. Our work is to find out all of boundaries the shot changes by a fast algorithm based on uncompressed domain. In our algorithm, all of non-cut transitions are considered as gradual transition, including dissolve, fade-in, fade-out, and all kinds of wipes. Experimental results indicate that the accuracy and processing speed of our algorithm are all very satisfactory.
