1. A method for classifying image content, comprising:
receiving a plurality of first pixel values associated with a first image in a sequence of images;
receiving a plurality of second pixel values associated with a second image that follows the first image in the sequence of images;
determining an amount of spatial variation among the plurality of first pixel values;
determining an amount of spatial variation among the plurality of second pixel values;
determining an amount of temporal change between the plurality of first pixel values and the plurality of second pixel values;
determining a scaling factor (α) associated with the plurality of second pixel values based on the amount of spatial variation among the plurality of first pixel values, the amount of spatial variation among the plurality of second pixel values, and the amount of temporal change between the plurality of first pixel values and the plurality of second pixel values; and
determining a content type associated with the second image based at least in part on the scaling factor α.
