Abstract
Interactive video retrieval tools developed over the past few years are emerging as powerful alternatives to automatic retrieval approaches by giving the user more control as well as more responsibilities. Current research tries to identify the best combinations of image, audio and text features that combined with innovative UI design maximize the tools performance. We present the last installment of the Video Browser Showdown 2015 which was held in conjunction with the International Conference on MultiMedia Modeling 2015 (MMM 2015) and has the stated aim of pushing for a better integration of the user into the search process. The setup of the competition including the used dataset and the presented tasks as well as the participating tools will be introduced . The performance of those tools will be thoroughly presented and analyzed. Interesting highlights will be marked and some predictions regarding the research focus within the field for the near future will be made.
Highlights
The Video Browser Showdown (VBS), known as Video Search Showcase, is an interactive video search competition where participating teams try to answer ad-hoc queries in a shared video data set as fast as possible
The VBS is an annual workshop at the International Conference on MultiMedia Modeling (MMM) with that goal in mind
Instead of pursuing rather small improvements in the field of content-based indexing and retrieval, video search tools should aim at better integration of the human into the search process, focusing on interactive video retrieval [8, 9, 18, 19] rather than automatic querying
Summary
The Video Browser Showdown (VBS), known as Video Search Showcase, is an interactive video search competition where participating teams try to answer ad-hoc queries in a shared video data set as fast as possible. Instead of pursuing rather small improvements in the field of content-based indexing and retrieval, video search tools should aim at better integration of the human into the search process, focusing on interactive video retrieval [8, 9, 18, 19] rather than automatic querying. Interactive video search follows the idea of strong user integration with sophisticated content interaction [47] and aims at providing a powerful alternative to the common video retrieval approach [46]. To typical video retrieval, such interactive video browsing tools give more control to the user and provide flexible search features, instead of focusing on the query-and-browse-results approach.
