Item Open Access Fuzzy color histogram-based video segmentation(Academic Press, 2010) Küçüktunç, O.; Güdükbay, Uğur; Ulusoy, ÖzgürWe present a fuzzy color histogram-based shot-boundary detection algorithm specialized for content-based copy detection applications. The proposed method aims to detect both cuts and gradual transitions (fade, dissolve) effectively in videos where heavy transformations (such as cam-cording, insertions of patterns, strong re-encoding) occur. Along with the color histogram generated with the fuzzy linking method on L*a*b* color space, the system extracts a mask for still regions and the window of picture-in-picture transformation for each detected shot, which will be useful in a content-based copy detection system. Experimental results show that our method effectively detects shot boundaries and reduces false alarms as compared to the state-of-the-art shot-boundary detection algorithms. © 2009 Elsevier Inc.

In facial shot matching part, a high-level face detector identifies facial frames/shots in a video clip. Matching faces with extended body regions gives the flexibility to discriminate the same person (e.g., an anchor man or a political leader) in different events or scenes. In activity subsequence matching part, a spatio-temporal sequence matching technique is employed to match video clips/segments that are similar in terms of activity. Lastly, the non-facial shots are matched using low-level MPEG-7 descriptors and dynamic-weighted feature similarity calculation. The proposed framework is tested on the query and reference dataset of CBCD task of TRECVID 2008. Our results are compared with the results of top-8 most successful techniques submitted to this task. Promising results are obtained in terms of both effectiveness and efficiency. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
