ABSTRACT
With rapid advances in digital technologies, feature movies are a large portion in the powerful growth of videos. Although, with shot boundary detection, we access the logical unit or basic unit for a video, we still cannot index or browse a video (especially a movie) in the way of human understanding. Fortunately, in order to feasibly browse and index these movies, movie scene detection is another important and critical step for video cataloguing, video indexing, and retrieval.
