Abstract
Disclosed is a method for automatically detecting an introduction/opening song within a multimedia file. The method includes designating sequential blocks of time in the multimedia file as scene(s) and detecting certain feature(s) associated with each scene. The extracted scene feature(s) may be analyzed and used to assign a probability to each scene that the scene is part of the introduction/opening song. The probabilities may be used to classify each scene as either correlating to or not correlating to, the introduction/opening song. The temporal location of the opening song may be saved as index data associated with the multimedia file.
