Abstract

In this paper, we propose the use of motion tracks to generate video features, which are applied to perform video retrieval. We simply use the location of the object's center-of-gravity and its velocity across consecutive video frames to form motion flows, which are then recordedland stored in a video database. In the video retrieval phase, we propose ithe use of n-gram matching strategy to execute the video retrieval task. The retrieval process can be Iriggered query-by-example. We identify corresponding query and index contents accurately in order to detect "similar" videos. Experiments are carried out on CMU datahase. All empirical comparison over the state-of-the-art dynamic programming techniques is encouraging and demonstrates the advantage and feasibility of the n-gram melhod.
