Early fusion techniques in content analysis aim to enhance efficacy by generating compact data models that retain semantic clues from multimodal data. Initial attempts used fusion operators at low-level feature space, which compromised data representativeness. This led to the development of complex operations inseparable from multimodal semantic clues processing. Previous studies showed that simple arithmetic-based operators could be as effective as complex operations when applied at the mid-level feature space, highlighting an unexplored opportunity to assess the efficacy of logical operators. This paper investigates the application of logical fusion operators (And, Or, Xor) at the mid-level feature space for Temporal Video Scene Segmentation. Comparative analysis demonstrates that Or and Xor logical operators are viable alternatives in the specific Temporal Video Scene Segmentation content analysis tasks.
