Abstract
Video retrieval systems have a wide range of applications across multiple domains, therefore the development of user-friendly and efficient systems is necessary. For VBS 2022, we develop a flexible interactive system for video retrieval, namely V-FIRST, that supports two scenarios of usage: query with text descriptions and query with visual examples. We take advantage of both visual and temporal information from videos to extract concepts related to entities, events, scenes, activities, and motion trajectories for video indexing. Our system supports queries with keywords and sentence descriptions as V-FIRST can evaluate the semantic similarities between visual and textual embedding vectors. V-FIRST also allows users to express queries with visual impressions, such as sketches and 2D spatial maps of dominant colors. We use query expansion, elastic temporal video navigation, and intellisense for hints to further boost the performance of our system.
