Online interactive video content retrieval

Abstract

This paper describes the on-line video browsing and retrieval platform, so-called OVIDIUS (On-line VIDeo Indexing Universal System). The proposed approach makes it possible to interactively browse video content in a hierarchical and multi-granular manner, while integrating per-segment and per-object navigation, visualization and interaction capabilities Concerning the content retrieval functionalities, the platform integrates an MPEG-7 search engine with both textual and content-based queries.
