Structuring and indexing of digital video by color histogram shot boundary detection

Abstract. Video contains huge amounts of information which needs to be structured and indexed to make tasks like search and navigation possible. This paper describes ongoing research for the development of a prototype system to segment digital video in shots and index them by key-frames. Preliminary results of videos structured as a sequence of key-frames is available online.
