What is scene change detection?

Scene change detection (SCD) refers to the task of localizing changes and identifying change-categories given two scenes. A scene can be either an RGB (+D) image or a 3D reconstruction (point cloud).

What is scene detection?

Scene detection is a mechanism to detect different scenes of a video sequence.

What is a scene transition?

Conceptually, transitions convey a passage of time, character movement, pauses, storylines, and silence. They structure the film from first shot to last. There are several common forms — the wipe, the dissolve, the split-cut, and many more.

What is shot Boundary detection?

Shot boundary detection (SBD) is considered a substantial process of video browsing and retrieval. SBD aims to detect transition and their boundaries between consecutive shots; hence, shots with rich information are used in the content-based video indexing and retrieval.
