Searching for videos on Apple iPad and iPhone.
In: International Conference on Multimedia and Expo (ICME) 2011, 11-15 July 2011, Barcelona, Spain.
In this demonstration we introduce our content-based video search system which runs as an app on the Apple iPad or iPhone. Our work on video search is motivated by the need to introduce content-based video search techniques, which are currently the preserve of the research community, to the larger YouTube generation. It was with this in mind, that we have developed a simple but engaging content based video search engine which uses an iPad or iPhone app as the front-end user interface. Our app supports the three common modes for content-based video search: text search, concept search and image-similarity search. Our iPad system was evaluated as part of the TRECVid 2010 evaluation campaign where we compared the performance of novice versus expert users.
