  • Fade-in and fade-out temporal segments
    Patent number: 6606409
    Abstract: A method for performing content-based temporal segmentation of video sequences, the method comprises the steps of transmitting the video sequence to a processor; identifying within the video sequence a plurality of type-specific individual temporal segments using a plurality of type-specific detectors; analyzing and refining the plurality of type-specific individual temporal segments identified in the identifying the plurality of type-specific individual temporal segments step; and outputting a list of locations within the video sequence of the identified type-specific individual temporal segments.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 6, 2001
    Date of Patent: August 12, 2003
    Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company
    Inventors: James Warnick, Ahmet M. Ferman, Bilge Gunsel, Milind R. Naphade, Rajiv Mehrotra
