1. A computerized method of automatically detecting one or more segment boundaries in a video, said video including a plurality of video frames, said method comprising: selecting a series of video frames of the video for detection; determining a property value of each of the video frames in the selected series of video frames; determining differences of the property values between adjacent video frames of the selected series; determining a maximum difference of the differences of the property values between adjacent video frames; determining a mean of the differences of the property values between adjacent video frames; determining a ratio of the maximum difference to the determined mean; comparing the maximum difference to a threshold median value and comparing the determined ratio to an adaptive threshold value; and defining a segment boundary as a function of the comparisons.
