Abstract
Video is a very expressive medium, able to capture a wide variety of information in different ways. While there have been many advances in the recent past, which enable the annotation of semantic concepts as well as individual objects within video, their larger context has so far not extensively been used for the purpose of retrieval. In this paper, we introduce the first iteration of VideoGraph, a knowledge graph-based video retrieval system. VideoGraph combines information extracted from multiple video modalities with external knowledge bases to produce a semantically enriched representation of the content in a video collection, which can then be retrieved using graph traversal. For the 2021 Video Browser Showdown, we show the first proof-of-concept of such a graph-based video retrieval approach.
