Internet video retrieval system with personalised information
The system that has been developed is effectively a distributed content management system, that supports archived video production with personalised information access and retrieval. It can provide advanced video analysis, brief video abstracts and content-based access to video items. It also offers searches on keywords, concepts and image similarity within one web-based environment. In short, this system is capable of storing vast quantities of video, whilst at the same time providing multiple web based access and retrieval of video content. Other benefits include immediate and time code exact reference return that the images of the videos originate from. It is also capable exchanging search results between system users, supporting teamwork and personalised information access and retrieval. Knowledge sharing and advanced visualisation technologies that cope with large results sets and workflow, context and profiles further complement this product. Search engines that rely purely on textual searches are set to become future history, because this web based collaborative user environment combines precision textual searches with content-based search methods. Such is the capability of this product, it is envisaged that it will be of considerable benefit to the professional media industry, and marketing and PR agencies. With current support from the CEC, the developers are actively seeking an information exchange and/or training partnership.
