VISIONE at Video Browser Showdown 2021

This paper presents the second release of VISIONE, a tool for effective video search on large-scale collections. It allows users to search for videos using textual descriptions, keywords, occurrence of objects and their spatial relationships, occurrence of colors and their spatial re- lationships, and image similarity. One of the main features of our system is that it employs specially designed textual encodings for indexing and searching video content using the mature and scalable Apache Lucene full-text search engine.
