Exploiting redundancy in cross-channel video retrieval
Bouke Huurnink, Maarten de Rijke · 2007
Video producers, in telling a news story, tend to repeat important visual and speech material multiple times in adjacent shots, thus creating a certain level of redundancy. We describe this phenomenon, and use it to develop a framework to incorporate redundancy for cross-channel retrieval of visual items using speech. Testing our models in a series of retrieval experiments, we find that incorporating the fact that information occurs redundantly into cross-channel retrieval leads to significant improvements in retrieval performance.
