Low Complexity Cut Detection in the Presence of Flicker

This paper deals with techniques to detect abrupt scene transitions when random brightness variations (flicker) are present. This is normally the case when trying to restore or index old films. The application of conventional techniques in this situation tends to produce a large number of false positive detections of cuts. The paper is intendedly restricted to techniques which require low computation (no motion estimation).
