In the domain of multimedia, rapid DVD browsing or multi-media oriented web search require an efficient content-based image and video retrieval system. In this paper, we present our retrieval system of actors in films combining powerful machine learning techniques with “kernels on bags of bags ” design. From a film segmented into shots, we extract video-tubes of actor faces and represent these video objects with sets of temporally coherent features. These vis-ual features are then input in the kernel-based SVM retrieval system. Our approach has been tested on retrieving actors in a real film and proved its efficiency. 1.
