<title>Video retrieval by spatial and temporal structure of trajectories</title>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Our goal is to enable queries about the motion of objects in a video sequence. Tracking objects in video is a difficult task, involving signal analysis, estimation and often semantic information particular to the targets. That is not our focus-rather, we assume that tracking is done, and turn to the task of representing the motion for query. The position over time of an object result in a motion trajectory, i.e., a sequence of locations. We propose a novel representation of trajectories: we use the path and speed curves as the motion representation. The path curve records the position of the object while the speed curve records the magnitude of its velocity. This separates positional information from temporal information, since position may be more important in specifying a trajectory than the actual velocity of a trajectory. Velocity can be recovered from our representation. We derive a local geometric description of the curves invariant under scaling and rigid motion. We adopt a warping method in matching so that it is roust to variation in feature vectors. We show that R-trees can be used to index the multidimensional features so that search will be efficient and scalable to a large database.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
