Abstract
Low-level features are now becoming insufficient to build efficient content-based retrieval systems. Users are not interested any longer in retrieving visually similar content, but they expect retrieval systems to also find documents with similar semantic content. Bridging the gap between low-level features and semantic content is a challenging task necessary for future retrieval systems. Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) was successfully introduced to efficiently index text documents by detecting synonyms and the polysemy of words. We have successfully proposed an adaptation of LSA to model video content for object retrieval and semantic content estimation. Following this idea we now present a new model composed of multiple LSA’s (M-LSA) to better represent the video content. In the experimental section, we make a comparison of LSA and M-LSA on two problems, namely object retrieval and semantic content estimation.
