Moreover, we give an overview of the latest developments and future trends in the field on the basis of the TRECVID competition \u2013 the leading competition for video search engines run by NIST \u2013 where we have achieved consistent top\u20102 performance over the years, including the 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 editions. This half\u2010day tutorial is especially meant for researchers and practitioners who are new to the field of video search (introductory), people who have started in this direction (intermediate), or people who are interested in a summary of the state\u2010of\u2010the\u2010art in this exciting area (general interest).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outline<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Introduction<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Problem statement: social, business, and scientific<\/li>\n<li>Course organization: fundamentals, semantics, search, evaluation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Fundamentals<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Invariance: the sensory and semantic gap<\/li>\n<li>Local shape: Gaussians, Gabors, and Loweans<\/li>\n<li>Texture: natural image statistics, gradients, Weibulls<\/li>\n<li>Color: light source, reflection, and representation<\/li>\n<li>Motion: optic flow, tracking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Semantics<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Descriptors: SIFT, SURF, Daisy, HOG3D, STIP, ColorSIFT<\/li>\n<li>Words: hard assignment, soft\u2010assignment, difference coding, geometry<\/li>\n<li>Similarities: nearest neighbor, histogram intersection, \u03c72<\/li>\n<li>Classifiers: support vector machines, random forests<\/li>\n<li>Localized objects: the visual extent of an object, selective search for where the object might be.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Search<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Concept and event detection: annotation efforts, crowdsourcing, detector performance<\/li>\n<li>Translating queries to detectors: textual, visual, semantic, and their combination<\/li>\n<li>Interacting with the user through the interface gap: browsing and learning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Evaluation<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>NIST TRECVID Benchmark: data, tasks, and results<\/li>\n<li>Benchmark criticism: broad\u2010domain applicability, repeatability, VideOlympics showcase<\/li>\n<li>Resources: annotations, baselines, and software<\/li>\n<li>Demonstration of the MediaMill Semantic video search engine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Conclusion<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Concluding remarks: achievements and discussion<\/li>\n<li>Future work: challenges and opportunities for the vision community.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Material<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>We will provide a web page about our short course on Internet Video Search, which will include the lecture slides, pointers to data sets, software, as well as all video\u2019s of the demonstrators.<\/p>\n<p>All lecture material will be accessible from: <a href=\"http:\/\/tutorials.ceessnoek.info\/\">http:\/\/tutorials.ceessnoek.info\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organizers: Cees G.M.
