FAST VIDEO SHOT RETRIEVAL WITH SEQUENCE TRACE IN THE PRINCIP AL COMPONENT SPACE

Content-based video retrieval technology holds the key to the efficient management and sharing of video content from different sources, across different platforms and over different communication channels. In this work we present a fast retrieval algorithm based on matched filtering of the video sequence trace characteristics in the principal component space. Techniques to combat scale variance, noises and distortions are also investigated, resulted into a robust and fast content -based video shot retrieval solution.
