Abstract
In this paper we present the methods and visualizations used in the
MediaMill video search engine. The basis for the engine is a semantic
indexing process which derives a lexicon of 101 concepts. To support
the user in navigating the collection, the system defines a visual similarity
space, a semantic similarity space, a semantic thread space, and
browsers to explore them. The search system is evaluated within the
TRECVID benchmark. We obtain a top-3 result for 19 out of 24 search
topics. In addition, we obtain the highest mean average precision of
all search participants.
