Retrieval of video and vehicle behavior for a driving scene described in search text

Abstract

The retrieval device extracts a feature corresponding to search text by inputting the search text into a pre-trained text feature extraction model. The retrieval device then, for plural combinations stored in a database associating a text description including plural sentences, with a vehicle-view video, and with vehicle behavior data representing temporal vehicle behavior, computes a text distance represented by a difference between a feature extracted from each sentence of the text description associated with the video and vehicle behavior data, and the feature corresponding to the search text. The retrieval device outputs as the search result a prescribed number of pairs of video and vehicle behavior data pairs in sequence from the smallest text distance according to the text distances.
