Abstract
The video segmentation problem can be regarded as a problem of detecting the fundamental video units (shots). Due to different ways of linking two consecutive shots this task turns out to be difficult. In this work, we propose a method to detect a type of gradual transition, the fade, by image segmentation tools instead of using dissimilarity measures or mathematical models. Firstly, the video is transformed into a 2D image considering the histogram information, called visual rhythm by histogram. Afterwards, we apply image processing tools to detect specified patterns in this image.
