Spatio concept relation accompanied interface to bridge semantic gap of video search and retrieval

Video search and retrieval becoming hot topic in multimedia information retrieval. However, the `semantic gap´ still persists and urges effective mechanisms to bridge the gap. This paper presents an empirical framework, which grabs the user experience to reduce the `semantic gap´. The graphical user interface of the system allows visual information seeker to express his idea using semantic concept association by spatially related visual concepts. This study comes with a video content depiction schema that has created the foundation for the semantic search mechanism of Spatial Concept Association Based Search (SCABS). In this approach, the communication between the end user and the video search system has been linked through the depiction schema. This visual retrieval mechanism provides advantages in contrast to common tag based retrieval systems. The experimental results pave the path for the possible improvements inline with semantic video retrieval.
