diveXplore at the Video Browser Showdown 2024

Abstract: According to our experience from VBS2023 and the feedback from the IVR4B special session at CBMI2023, we have largely revised the diveXplore system for VBS2024. It now integrates OpenCLIP trained on the LAION-2B dataset for image/text embeddings that are used for free-text and visual similarity search, a query server that is able to distribute different queries and merge the results, a user interface optimized for fast browsing, as well as an exploration view for large clusters of similar videos (e.g., weddings, paraglider events, snow and ice scenery, etc.).
