Motion trajectories extracted from certain videos contain sufficient spatio-temporal
information which can be effectively used to characterize those videos. But the task of
framing text-based queries for such videos in content-based video retrieval systems is very

Motion trajectories extracted from certain videos contain sufficient spatio-temporal information which can be effectively used to characterize those videos. But the task of framing text-based queries for such videos in content-based video retrieval systems is very complicated. Sketch based query is an efficient tool to construct motion-based queries but perceptual differences like spatial and temporal variability pose serious challenges to query modelling.
In this work we propose a new method of modelling sketch based queries which attempts to extract the qualitative features of motion by minimizing the perceptual variability. We also develop a multilevel filter for indexing a query, in which the search results are refined at each stage using a cumulative scoring mechanism. Finally, we show the effectiveness of our algorithm on a dataset of real pool videos and a synthetic dataset containing simulated videos having very complex motion trajectories.
