Fast video shot retrieval by trace geometry matching in principal component space

摘要

Content-based video retrieval technology holds the key to the efficient management and sharing of video content from different sources, in different scales, across different platforms, and shared over different communication channels. In this work we present a fast retrieval algorithm based on matching the geometry of video sequence traces in the principal component space. Techniques to address scale (spatial and temporal) issues, as well as, noise and other possible distortions, such as frame dropping, are discussed. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
