In this paper we extend the shot transition detection component of the ViBE video database system to include gradual scene changes. ViBE Video Indexing and Browsing Environment, a browseable searchable paradigm for organizing video data containing a large number of sequences, is being developed at Purdue as a testbed to explore ideas and concepts in video databases. We also present results on the performance of our cut detection algorithm using a large test set. The performance of two other techniques are compared against our method.
