Shot boundary detection in videos is one of the most fundamental tasks towards content-based video retrieval and analysis. In this aspect, an efficient approach to detect abrupt and gradual transition in videos is presented. The proposed method detects the shot boundaries in videos by extracting block-based mean probability binary weight (MPBW) histogram from the normalized Kirsch magnitude frames as an amalgamation of local and global features. Abrupt transitions in videos are detected by utilizing the distance measure between consecutive MPBW histograms and employing an adaptive threshold. In the subsequent step, co-efficient of mean deviation and variance statistical measure is applied on MPBW histograms to detect gradual transitions in the video. Experiments were conducted on TRECVID 2001 and 2007 datasets to analyse and validate the proposed method. Experimental result shows significant improvement of the proposed SBD approach over some of the state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of recall, precision, and F1-score.

Now days as the progress of digital image technology, video files raise fast, there is a great demand for automatic video semantic study in many scenes, such as video semantic understanding, content-based analysis, video retrieval. Shot boundary detection is an elementary step for video analysis. However, recent methods are time consuming and perform badly in the gradual transition detection. In this paper we have projected a novel approach for video shot boundary detection using CNN which is based on feature extraction. We designed couple of steps to implement this method for automatic video shot boundary detection (VSBD). Primarily features are extracted using H, V&S parameters based on mean log difference along with implementation of histogram distribution function. This feature is given as an input to CNN algorithm which detects shots which is based on probability function. CNN is implemented using convolution and rectifier linear unit activation matrix which is followed after filter application and zero padding. After downsizing the matrix it is given as a input to fully connected layer which indicates shot boundaries comparing the proposed method with CNN method based on GPU the results are encouraging with substantially high values of precision Recall & F1 measures. CNN methods perform moderately better for animated videos while it excels for complex video which is observed in the results.

The paper presents a summary of the forthcoming book by the authors and discusses the sample study of the 9 developing countries. While admitting the non-linearity of economic development they claim that the developing countries make a transition from the limited access orders (where the coalition of powerful elite groups plays a major role, that is based on personal connections and hampers free political and economic competition) to the open access orders with democratic government and efficient decentralized economic system. The major conclusion of this article is that what the limited access societies should do is not simply introducing open access institutions, but reorganizing the incentives of the elites so that to limit violence, provide economic and political stability and make a gradual transition to the open access order beneficial for the elites.

Technical diagnostics is an integral part of the railway maintenance process. Through timely maintenance, in addition to ensuring the safety, functional and technical reliability of the infrastructure, maintenance costs are reduced and downtime losses, due to failures or premature repair requests, are eliminated or reduced. The track infrastructure diagnostic tools have evolved. This is related to, among others, the miniaturisation of instruments, reading accuracy during motion, as well as upgraded measurement automation and result analysis. Currently, data obtained from multifunctional diagnostic tools is the basis for the developed Russian railway infrastructure maintenance and operation digital model. The strategic development of mobile diagnostic labs is the gradual transition to solutions with advanced digital analysis, supported by artificial intelligence, monitoring and forecasting. The article presents the development of mobile labs for the railroad infrastructure condition diagnosis up to the current solutions, in which measurements take place without human intervention and the obtained information is transmitted in real time to the analysis and decision centres. Keywords: rail transport, measuring wagons, digitisation of railways, Russian railways

Background:: In the internet era, there is a prime need to access and manage the huge volume of multimedia data in an effective manner. Shot is a sequence of frames captured by a single camera in an uninterrupted space and time. Shot detection is suitable for various applications such that video browsing, video indexing, content based video retrieval and video summarization. Objective:: To detect the shot transitions in the video within a short duration. It compares the visual features of frames like correlation, histogram and texture features only in the candidate region frames instead of comparing the full frames in the video file. Methods: This paper analyses candidate frames by searching the values of frame features which matches with the abrupt detector followed by the correct cut transition frame with in the datacube recursively until it detects the correct transition frame. If they are matched with the gradual detector, then it will give the gradual transition ranges, otherwise the algorithm will compare the frames within the next datacube to detect shot transition. Results:: The total average detection rates of all transitions computed in the proposed Data-cube Search Based Shot Boundary Detection technique are 92.06 for precision, 96.92 for recall and 93.94 for f1 measure and the maximum accurate detection rate. Conclusion:: Proposed method for shot transitions uses correlation value for searching procedure with less computation time than the existing methods which compares every single frame and uses multi features such as color, edge, motion and texture features in wavelet domain.
