VideoCycle: User-Friendly Navigation by Similarity in Video Databases

VideoCycle is a candidate application for this second Video Browser Showdown challenge. VideoCycle allows interactive intra-video and inter-shot navigation with dedicated gestural controllers. MediaCy- cle, the framework it is built upon, provides media organization by sim- ilarity, with a modular architecture enabling most of its workflow to be performed by plugins: feature extraction, clustering, segmentation, summarization, intra-media and inter-segment visualization. MediaCy- cle focuses on user experience with user interfaces that can be tailored to specific use cases.
