ABSTRACT
The proposed content-based video retrieval method in this study uses feature extraction, shot boundary detection, shot noise filter, shot cluster, the key feature set of shot extraction and shot classification. Shot boundary detection is conducted using a weight selection genetic algorithm. In order to verify the video retrieval method in this paper, three video databases were used in the experiment. These video databases are used to verify the shot boundary detection, the shot classification and video retrieval of this study. A series of comparisons and analyses were then conducted using the above video databases. The experiment results showed that the shot boundary detection method exhibits better performance than the other compared methods. Moreover, the video retrieval experiment results showed that the proposed method is able to precisely catch a shot in the search video, and do so with reduced video retrieval time.
