Visual Information Retrieval in Endoscopic Video Archives
In endoscopic procedures, surgeons work with live video streams from the
inside of their subjects. A main source for documentation of procedures are
still frames from the video, identified and taken during the surgery. However,
with growing demands and technical means, the streams are saved to storage
servers and the surgeons need to retrieve parts of the videos on demand. In
this submission we present a demo application allowing for video retrieval
based on visual features and late fusion, which allows surgeons to re-find
shots taken during the procedure.Comment: Paper accepted at the IEEE/ACM 13th International Workshop on

SVS-JOIN : efficient spatial visual similarity join for geo-multimedia
In the big data era, massive amount of multimedia data with geo-tags has been generated and collected by smart devices equipped with mobile communications module and position sensor module. This trend has put forward higher request on large-scale geo-multimedia retrieval. Spatial similarity join is one of the significant problems in the area of spatial database. Previous works focused on spatial textual document search problem, rather than geo-multimedia retrieval. In this paper, we investigate a novel geo-multimedia retrieval paradigm named spatial visual similarity join (SVS-JOIN for short), which aims to search similar geo-image pairs in both aspects of geo-location and visual content. Firstly, the definition of SVS-JOIN is proposed and then we present the geographical similarity and visual similarity measurement. Inspired by the approach for textual similarity join, we develop an algorithm named SVS-JOIN B by combining the PPJOIN algorithm and visual similarity. Besides, an extension of it named SVS-JOIN G is developed, which utilizes spatial grid strategy to improve the search efficiency. To further speed up the search, a novel approach called SVS-JOIN Q is carefully designed, in which a quadtree and a global inverted index are employed. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on two geo-image datasets and the results demonstrate that our solution can address the SVS-JOIN problem effectively and efficiently
