A video cut detector (CD), a member of the shot boundary detector (SBD) group, is an essential element for spatio-temporal audiovisual (AV) segmentation and various video-processing technologies. Platform, processing and performance constraints forced the development of various dedicated CDs. Future platforms allow the usage of advanced CD algorithms with higher reliability. In order to enable an appropriate trade-off decision to be made between reliability and the required processing power, benchmarking of four CD algorithms has taken place on bases of a generic, culture-diverse multi-genre AV corpus. In terms of complexity/performance trade-off, a field-difference-based CD proved to be optimal.
