Spatial and Temporal Constrained Ranked Retrieval over Videos

Summary: Graph-indexed STAR retrieval over video annotations encodes object labels and spatio-temporal relations in a Graph Index (GI). Ingest phase materializes the GI; query uses SMA and TM with early-stopping to return top-k windows, delivering orders-of-magnitude speedups for selective queries.
