Abstract

This paper describes the MPEG-7 compliant indexing and retrieval system iFinder based on XML and open source database technology. The iFinder system automatically extracts metadata from A/V-content and allows access to the enriched content by means of a client/server-based retrieval engine. This multimedia retrieval system allows for search and retrieval of short video segments in huge multimedia archives. As a reference application, the iFinder system is used to index speeches from the German Parliament. The user can search for fragments of political speeches and receives matching video segments through a video streaming service.
