Abstract
Various embodiments of a system are provided for detecting scrolling text in a mixed-mode video sequence. The system of certain embodiments includes a motion estimator that generates a plurality of motion vectors between blocks of two or more extracted frames of a mixed-mode video sequence. An extracted frame motion analyzer analyzes the motion vectors to detect substantially constant motion of at least some of the blocks between the two or more extracted frames, wherein the presence of substantially constant motion is indicative of the presence of scrolling text in the mixed-mode video sequence. A consecutive frame motion analyzer calculates differences in pixel values between blocks of two or more consecutive frames in the mixed-mode video sequence, wherein the differences in pixel values are further indicative of the presence of scrolling text in the mixed-mode video sequence.
