Abstract
This paper presents a system for content-based video retrieval, with a complete toolchain for annotation, indexing, retrieval and visualization of imported data. The system contains around 20 feature descriptors, a modular infrastructure for descriptor addition and indexing, a web-based search interface and an easy-to-use query-annotation-result visualization module. The features that make this system differ from others is the support of all the steps of the retrieval chain, the modular support for standard MPEG-7 and custom descriptors, and the easy-to-use tools for query formulation and retrieval visualization. The intended use cases of the system are content- and annotation-based retrieval applications, ranging from community video portals to indexing of image, video, judicial, and other multimedia databases.
