Retrieving videos from large repositories using image queries is important for many
applications, such as brand monitoring or content linking. We introduce a new retrieval …

With emerging demand for large-scale video analysis, MPEG initiated the compact
descriptor for video analysis (CDVA) standardization in 2014. Beyond handcrafted …

In this paper, we propose and evaluate a method for optimizing descriptors used for content-
based multimedia indexing and retrieval. A large variety of descriptors are commonly used …

Given a specific object as query, object instance search aims to not only retrieve the images
or frames that contain the query, but also locate all its occurrences. In this work, we explore …

We address the challenge of using image queries to retrieve video clips from a large
database. Using binarized Fisher Vectors as global signatures, we present three novel …

We consider the problem of using image queries to retrieve videos from a database. Our
focus is on large-scale applications, where it is infeasible to index each database video …

Current research shows that the detection of semantic concepts (eg, animal, bus, person,
dancing, etc.) in multimedia documents such as videos, requires the use of several types of …

Broad in scope, Semantic Multimedia Analysis and Processing provides a complete
reference of techniques, algorithms, and solutions for the design and the implementation of …

Human computation is a very powerful tool for solving tasks that cannot be solved by
computers efficiently. One such problem is ranking images upon their relevance for a …

This paper investigates how the detection of diverse high-level semantic concepts (objects,
actions, scene types, persons etc.) in videos can be improved by applying a model of the …
