Abstract: A Survey of the basic concepts and underlying techniques of video shot detection is presented in this paper. A lot of methods have been reported for video shot change detection which deal with the detecting of cut, fading, or dissolve changes, either in the compressed domain or in the uncompressed domain. The problems of performance evaluation of these methods are pointed out in the end of this paper.

Key words: Video analysis, Shot-edge detection, Video shot segmentation

摘要： 本文对视频镜头边缘检测的基本原理进行了阐述，介绍了压缩域和非压缩域中视频图象的镜头切换、渐变及溶解的检测方法，以及各类检测方法的基本思想和主要公式，最后指出了性能评价所面临的问题。
