CMC-FZU at TRECVID 2010: Semantic Indexing

This paper summarizes our approaches to the semantic indexing task in TRECVID 2010. Several fusion strategies are employed in our detection system, including a low-level feature concatenation, text retrieval fusion, and ontology relation fusion. It can be drawn that the fusion of text retrieval results with a baseline in a proper way can contribute greatly to the system performance. Our approach to ontology relation fusion increases the number of the inferred true shots returned. Two of our runs using fusion schemes have the best infAP for a feature among the 30 features evaluated. We describe our text and ontology relation fusion schemes in detail in this paper. The description of our submission runs for the semantic indexing is as follows:
