Evaluating Interactive Video Retrieval at Large Scale in a Comparative Environment
Next: VBS 2025 in Nara, Japan
The 13th Video Browser Showdown (VBS2024) took place in January 2024 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and it was a very successful and exciting event. We used about 2300 hours of diverse video content (V3C1+V3C2) and 112 hours of highly redundant and special content (Marine Video Kit and Laparoscopic Hysterectomy). All search tasks could be solved, most of them very quickly. While being a professional video retrieval evaluation competition, it was a great fun and an entertaining event too! We thank all participants and contributors and look forward to the next iteration of the VBS, which will take place in January 2025 in Nara, Japan. New teams that want to join should contact us as soon as possible, in order to share data, hints, and maybe even some tools that can help to start! Further down below you can also find examples of VBS systems, which will give you some inspiration for your own system.
