Vireo @ Video Browser Showdown 2020

In this paper, we present the features implemented in the 4th version of the VIREO Video Search System (VIREO-VSS). In this version, we propose a sketch-based retrieval model, which allows the user to specify a video scene with objects and their basic properties, including color, size, and location. We further utilize the temporal relation between video frames to strengthen this retrieval model. For text-based retrieval module, we supply speech and on-screen text for free-text search and upgrade the concept bank for concept search. The search interface is also re-designed targeting the novice user. With the introduced system, we expect that the VIREO-VSS can be a competitive participant in the Video Browser Showdown (VBS) 2020.
