Abstract: “To elaborate a video in terms of its content, it needs to be partitioned into its smallest visual unit called shot. To segment a video into shots, shot boundary is needed. Here hybrid approach adapted for uncompressed video shot transition detection. Color histogram is used for the cut and dissolve boundary. For cut boundary, traditional threshold technique works well but it fails in some cases like camera flash, fast zooming etc. To improve its performance 2nd derivative method is accepted for”

Keywords: color histogram, gradual boundary detection, hard cut detection, shot boundary detection, twin comparison.
