Abstract

Techniques for scene change detection around seed points in media data are provided. Media features of many different types may be extracted from the media data. One or more statistical patterns of media features in a plurality of time-wise intervals around a plurality of seed time points of the media data may be determined using one or more types of features extractable from the media data. At least one of the one or more types of features comprises a type of features that captures structural properties, tonality including harmony and melody, timbre, rhythm, loudness, stereo mix, or a quantity of sound sources as related to the media data. A plurality of beginning scene change points and a plurality of ending scene change points in the media data may be detected, based on the one or more statistical patterns, for the plurality of seed time points in the media data.
