Abstract

As a multimedia format, Flash is becoming more and more popular over the Web. The typical structure of Flash can benefit from both image retrieval and video retrieval methods. In this paper, we present an approach of sketch-based retrieval on flash movies with analysis on directional and motional relations. Via the selection of primary scenes, query result can be displayed to users in an ideal way. Experiment of the proposed approach is evaluated on a test set with different genres of flash movies, and it shows the usefulness of the approach.
