IDMT Researchers Develop A Smart Search Engine For News Videos

Researchers at Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology (IDMT) have developed a new system which will consider the user knowledge while searching for a news video. The new system provides user with search algorithm, a data model and web-based user interface. Using this interface users can locate identical sequences within various news videos. The system also learns from each individual user, which help it to improve search result. This also help to reduce the resources needed for analysis.

According to Christian Weigel, who work with Audio-Video Systems research group at IDMT, “Videos that share the same content have for the most part been edited, meaning that they are scaled and encoded in a variety of formats. Also, search engines are often unable to distinguish images cropped from a large picture.” The initial demonstration of the new search engine will be done at CeBIT trade fair in Hannover in March 2013.
