Lexicon-Based Browsers for Searching in News Video Archives M. Worring, C. G. M. Snoek, O. de Rooij, G. P. Nguyen, D. C. Koelma In International Conference on Pattern Recognition 2006. [bibtex] [pdf] [url]

In this paper we present the methods and visualizations used in the MediaMill video search engine. The basis for the engine is a semantic indexing process which derives a lexicon of 101 concepts. To support the user in navigating the collection, the system defines a visual similarity space, a semantic similarity space, a semantic thread space, and browsers to explore them. The search system is evaluated within the TRECVID benchmark. We obtain a top-3 result for 19 out of 24 search topics. In addition, we obtain the highest mean average precision of all search participants.
