We present a video browsing system that dynamically extracts features and o
ther content-description (meta-data) from compressed video. We devise a des
cription scheme for a video browsing system that combines color and motion
descriptors extracted in the compressed domain. The extraction is fast and
enables our proposed dynamic feature extraction based video browsing system
. We examine the tradeoff between fast feature extraction and accuracy of m
atching to arrive at a combination of color and motion descriptors that is
easy to extract and provides accurate matching.
