Abstract
To prevent undesired images from appearing in moving video images, short-duration portions of video information contained within longer video works are detected and reported by, for example, displaying the short-duration portions on a monitor. These short-duration portions are detected, for example, by locating scene cuts, region cuts, or object cuts that occur in rapid succession.
