Abstract
Parsing video content is an important first step in the video indexing process. This paper presents algorithms to automate the video parsing task, including partitioning a source video into clips and classifying those clips according to camera operations, using compressed video data. We have developed two algorithms and a hybrid approach to partitioning video data compressed according to the JPEG and MPEG standards. The algorithms utilize both the video content encoded in DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) coefficients and the motion vectors between frames. The hybrid approach integrates the two algorithms and incorporates multi-pass strategies and motion analyses to improve both accuracy and processing speed. Also, we present content-based video browsing tools which utilize the information, particularly about the shot boundaries and key frames, obtained from parsing.

MPEG: a video compression standard for multimedia applications

TL;DR: Design of the MPEG algorithm presents a difficult challenge since quality requirements demand high compression that cannot be achieved with only intraframe coding, and the algorithm’s random access requirement is best satisfied with pure intraframes coding.

Automatic partitioning of full-motion video

TL;DR: A twin-comparison approach has been developed to solve the problem of detecting transitions implemented by special effects, and a motion analysis algorithm is applied to determine whether an actual transition has occurred.
