Hyper Video Browser: Search and Hyperlinking in Broadcast Media

Massive amounts of digital media is being produced and consumed daily on the Internet. Efficient access to relevant information is of key importance in contemporary society. The Hyper Video Browser provides multiple navigation means within the content of a media repository. Our system utilizes the state of the art multimodal content analysis and indexing techniques, at multiple temporal granularity, in order to satisfy the user need by suggesting relevant material. We integrate two intuitive interfaces: for search and browsing through the video archive, and for further hyperlinking to the related content while enjoying some video content. The novelty of this work includes a multi-faceted search and browsing interface for navigating in video collections and the dynamic suggestion of hyperlinks related to a media fragment content, rather than the entire video, being viewed. The approach was evaluated on the MediaEval Search and Hyperlinking task, demonstrating its effectiveness at locating accurately relevant content in a big media archive.
