ITEC-UNIKLU Ad-hoc Video Search Submission 2016

In this report we describe our approach to the fully automatic Adhoc video search task for TRECVID 2016. We describe how we obtain training data from the web, create according CNN models for the provided queries and use them to classify keyframes from a custom sub-shot detection method. The resulting classifications are fed into a Lucene index in order to obtain the shots that match the query. We also discuss our results and point out potentials for further improvements.
