Abstract

Broadcast video retrieval is a key issue for media researchers looking for suitable media material in archives. Current media retrieval applications in use at VRT have proven to be a suboptimal solution. In this paper, we explain a novel search environment based on the combined metadata from multiple broadcast systems. Furthermore, we explain how speech recognition can facilitate unlocking the archive. This is illustrated by conducting experiments and measuring the keyword recognition rate, rather than the pure word error rate. We show that the keyword recognition rate is sufficient for efficient media retrieval in a search application.
