(SPIE Symposium on Voice, Video and Data Communications)In this paper, we present a technique for automatic classification of movies based on their content. This technique analyses shot duration and motion energy of movie trailers to characterize them as Action/Character movies. This approach is then combined with a features-based technique for content-based retrieval of video. Experiments indicate a high retrieval accuracy (greater than 96%) together with semantic-control (Action vs. Character) with this combined approach.
