Abstract

Examples of the present disclosure may include methods, systems, and computer readable media with executable instructions. An example method for retrieving visual media can include receiving a text query associated with a target content. A first group of visual media is identified based on correspondence of metadata of the visual media with the text query, and keyframes from the first group of identified visual media are selected. The method further includes detecting instances of a content type in the selected keyframes, and grouping similar instances of the content type into clusters. The target content is associated with a cluster having a greatest quantity of similar instances.
