While HTML documents could be effortlessly hyperlinked by markup tags, creation of the hyperlinks for multimedia objects is by no means easy due to the involvement of various visual processing units and intensive computational overhead. This paper introduces an open source, named VIREO-VH, which provides end-to-end support for creating hyperlinks to thread and visualize collections of videos. The software components include video pre-processing, bag-ofwords based inverted file indexing for scalable near-duplicate keyframe search, localization of partial near-duplicate segments, and galaxy visualization of video collection. The open source has been internally used by VIREO research team since 2007, and was evolved over years based on experiences through developing various multimedia applications.
