  • Publication number: 20090066845
    Abstract: Switching of topics in video content is detected using a telop included in the image, and the content is segmented by topics. First a scene-change point where the scene changes significantly is detected in the video content on the basis of the switching of images. Then, an average image of frames one second before and after the scene-change point is produced. The average image is used to detect, in a highly accurate manner, whether or not a telop is displayed. Then, a section in which the same stationary telop is displayed is detected. Index information related to the time period of each section in which the same stationary telop is displayed is produced.
