ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method for detecting scene change using difference of MAD(Mean Absolute Difference), so called dMAD wherein the method for detecting scene change using difference of mean absolute difference(dMAD) between image frames by use of scene change detecting apparatus comprising frame memory, first absolute calculator, accumulator, multiplicator, first latch circuit, second absolute calculator, first comparator, second comparator, selector and second latch circuit, the method comprising the steps of: (A) calculating MAD of the `n`th input image frame and checking whether scene change judgement variable, which is used for current frame according to scene change of previous frame, is `1`; (B) judging scene change only using MAD since current frame corresponds to the second frame of new scene when scene change variable is `1` at said step (a); (C) judging scene change using dMAD as scene change variable when scene change variable is not `1` at said step (a); (D) saving scene change state and MAD of the `n`th frame so as to use them for the processing of the `n+1`th frame.
