Abstract
Techniques describe submitting a video clip as a query by a user. A process retrieves images and information associated with the images in response to the query. The process decomposes the video clip into a sequence of frames to extract the features in a frame and to quantize the extracted features into descriptive words. The process further tracks the extracted features as points in the frame, a first set of points to correspond to a second set of points in consecutive frames to construct a sequence of points. Then the process identifies the points that satisfy criteria of being stable points and being centrally located in the frame to represent the video clip as a bag of descriptive words for searching for images and information related to the video clip.
