Abstract: In this paper, we present an image retrieval method based on feature tracking. Feature tracks are summarized into a compact discreet value and used for video indexing purpose. As opposed to existing space-time features, we do not make any assumption on the motion visible on the indexed videos. As a result, given an example query, our system is able to retrieve related videos from a large database. We evaluated our system with the copy detection benchmark MUSCLE-VCD-2007. We also ran retrieval experiment on hours of TV broadcast.
