- System is faster and more modern after refactoring

## Abstract

Continuously participating since the sixth Video Browser Showdown (VBS2017), diveXplore is a veteran interactive search system that throughout its lifetime has offered and evaluated numerous features. After undergoing major refactoring for the most recent VBS2021, however, the system since version 5.0 is less feature rich, yet, more modern, leaner and faster than the original system. This proved to be a sensible decision as the new system showed increasing performance in VBS2021 when compared to the most recent former competitions. With version 6.0 we reconsider shot segmentation, map search and introduce new features for improving concept as well as temporal context search.
