The invention provides a news splitting method. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining audio frames and video frames of news to be split; preprocessing the audio frame, obtaining mute time periods, and obtaining a
sentence segmentation starting time point and a
sentence segmentation ending time point corresponding to each mute time period; preprocessing the video frame, and obtaining anchor
feature data; extracting video frames corresponding to the
sentence segmentation starting time points and the
sentence segmentation ending time points to obtain corresponding
sentence segmentation starting images and
sentence segmentation ending images; judging whether anchor switching exists between the sentence segmentation starting images and the sentence segmentation ending images or not according to the anchor
feature data, and when anchor switching exists, extracting a corresponding video frame according to a corresponding mute time period to obtain a pause
paragraph; and obtaining to-be-split points of the pause
paragraph, and splitting the news video according to each to-be-
split point. According to the method, the pause paragraphs with anchor switching are screened out through the anchor
feature data, then the to-be-split points are judged to perform news splitting, the
processing speed can be increased, and the accuracy is improved.
