AP-Based Borda Voting Method for Feature Extraction in TRECVID-2004

We present a novel fusion method — AP-based Borda voting method (APBB)— for rankings. Due to its adaptive weighting scheme, APBB outperforms many traditional methods. Comparative experiments on TRECVID 2004 data were carried out and showed the robustness and effectiveness of this method.
