Abstract: We present a fast algorithm for computing the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a matrix, consisting of the frames from a video sequence. The computational efficiency of this algorithm derives from the observation that portions of a video sequence will consist of sets of correlated frames. We then show that the information obtained from the SVD can be used to analyze video sequences to obtain information such as scene breaks, scene query, reduced-order shot representation and key frame determination. We illustrate this approach on several video sequences.
