Abstract

The present invention relates to computation of digital fingerprint of a video sequence. The invention presents systems and methods for quick identification of shot boundaries and extraction of fingerprints by processing one or more specific frames. The systems and methods are applied on uncompressed video or compressed video having inter-frame or intra-frame compression. The methods comprises of comparing two frames of the video having a gap in between and identifying a specific frame present in between the two frames such that the specific frame may have a shot boundary. Shot boundaries are calculated for the entire video and then a fingerprint is generated using all the shot boundaries present in the video.
