Abstract This paper presents a novel scheme that automatically extracts out the hierarchical structure of MPEG video by detecting cuts and scenes, and a very user‐friendly hierarchical video browser. The proposed scheme first conducts a fast, robust cut detection, chooses the representative frames of shots through clustering, calculates the connectivity between shots based on the similarities of the shots including a certain number of neighbors by using fuzzy reasoning, and extracts scenes by examining the connectivity change. The scheme is overall robust against threshold setting, cut miss‐detection and over‐detection. We applied our scheme to parts of movies, the cut and scene detection rates are respectively higher than 95% and 75%. Considering the scheme is of high speed and in no need of knowledge on specific kinds of videos, these detection rates are quite satisfactory. The scheme is also feasible for other kinds of videos if they possess the feature that “scene consists of a group of similar shots”.
