The detection of shot boundaries in video se- quences is an important task for generating indexed video databases. This paper provides a comprehensive quantita- tive comparison of the metrics that have been applied to shot boundary detection. In addition, several standardized statistical tests that have not been applied to this problem, as well as three new netrics, are considered. A mathematical framework for quantitatively comparing metrics is supplied. Experimental results based on a video database containing 39,000 frames are included.
