Abstract:
A moving picture processing method comprising:selecting a first subset of non-contiguous frames from a first shot of inputted moving picture data; including a first picture extracting first feature data from each frame in the first subset of frames selected; selecting a second subset of non-contiguous frames from a second shot of inputted moving picture data including a second picture inputted after the first sub set of frames; extracting second feature data from each frame of the second subset of frames selected; comparing, on a frame-by-frame basis, first feature data of the non-contiguous frames of the first subset with the second feature data of the non-contiguous frames of the second subset; and judging, based only on the frames of the first and second subsets, whether or not said first shot is similar to said second shot.
