Abstract

The Lifelog Search Challenge (LSC) is an annual benchmarking competition for interactive multimedia retrieval systems, where participating systems compete in finding events based on textual descriptions containing hints about structured, semi-tructured, and/or unstructured data. In this paper, we present the multimedia retrieval system vitrivr, a long-time participant to LSC, with a focus on new functionality. Specifically, we introduce the image stabilisation module which is added prior to the feature extraction to reduce the image degradation caused by lifelogger movements, and discuss how geodata is used during query formulation, query execution, and result presentation.
