This project implements a video search engine prototype.Its overall aims are to allow full content search and retrieval of video The system performs a number of functions. It records TV material and the respective subtitles of the teletext system, identifies video scenes from analysis of colour histograms and motion vectors, and then automatically indexes these 'video paragraphs' according to significant words detected in the subtitles. A query is typically submitted as text input. Thumbnails of keyframes are then displayed with the option to show a sentence describing the content of each shot, extracted from the subtitles, or to play back the shot itself.
