SketchQL: Video Moment Querying with a Visual Query Interface
Summary: SketchQL is a VDBMS for offline video retrieval with a drag-and-drop visual interface sketching object-trajectory patterns. It uses object-tracking, a learned similarity search, and synthetic data to generalize across four real datasets and beat baselines.
