Abstract : Video Shot Boundary Detection (SBD) is an essential element for spatio-temporal audiovisual (AV) segmentation and video processing technologies. Platform, processing and performance constraints forced the development of various dedicated SBDs. Future platforms allow the usage of advanced SBD algorithms with higher reliability. In order to enable an appropriate trade-off decision to be made between reliability and the required processing power, benchmarking of four SBD algorithms has taken place on bases of a generic, real-world multi-genre AV corpus. In terms of complexity/performance trade-off, a field-difference based SBD proved to be optimal.
