VGG - Visual Search of BBC News

This is a technical demo of the large-scale on-the-fly web search technologies which are under development in the Visual Geometry Group in Oxford, using data provided by BBC R&D comprising over five years of prime-time news broadcasts from six channels. This is intended as a live demo of technologies under development at Oxford, and not as a working tool for general use. An item of interest can be specified at run time by a text query, and a discriminative classifier for that item is then learnt on-the-fly using images downloaded from Google Image search. The programmes were all broadcast originally from 6PM onwards on BBC ONE, BBC TWO, BBC Three, BBC FOUR, BBC Parliament and BBC News 24 channels, and in total comprise 10,131 hours of footage from 17,401 different programmes, and in total around 5M keyframes. Oxford and the BBC reserve the right to modify or withdraw any data and/or programme material provided as part of this live demo.
