There is a growing need for content retrieval techniques along with the popularization of video content services through the network. For the coded video content, there is a problem in search speed, because previous methods require the decoding process to reconstruct the spatial information. Moreover, previous schemes using motion couldn't use the local moving data. So, I propose a video retrieval method based on motion information in this paper. It uses moving region extraction scheme by the local maximum in the histogram of motion vectors. As a motion feature information, the number of motion regions, the region area, the amount of movements, their coordinates were used. The method(a) using all motion vectors in a frame was defined. In addition, the method(b) used the feature values of the histogram of motion vectors. By comparing proposed method(c) with (a),(b) from the aspect of search precision and processing time, I considered the effect. In the simulation experiments, (c) improved performance of the same sequence identification in (b) by the local motion. Besides, in the whole system, (c) were about 27.64 and 1.37 times faster than (a) and (b), respectively. In the matching processing, it is also about 462 and 3.15 times faster in respective schemes. Accordingly, I could confirm the effectiveness of proposed method. As a further study, I will consider a video search method using the global and the local motion in a frame.
