Claim One:
1. An apparatus for detecting a scene cut, the apparatus comprising: an image selector configured to select n number of input image frames among a plurality of input image frames while shifting the plurality of input image frames at h frame intervals; a candidate frame detector configured to detect one or more candidate scene cut frames from the selected n number of input image frames using at least one of a plurality of codecs and scene cut detecting algorithms; and a final frame detector configured to detect one or more final scene cut frames having a count value higher than a threshold value by performing a histogram analysis with respect to the detected one or more candidate scene cut frames, wherein the h is an integer greater than zero, and the h is smaller than the n, wherein the n is an integer greater than or equal to 3, and wherein the candidate frame detector comprises: a plurality of codecs configured to encode or decode the selected n number of input image frames; an I frame and intra-area detectors configured to detect at least one of the position of the I frame and the intra-area of the B or P frame among the n number of input image frames according to the encoding or decoding result of the plurality of codecs; and a candidate selector configured to select the one or more candidate scene cut frames based on the at least one of the position of the I frame and the intra-area of the B or P frame.
