Overview

Multimedia Databases brings together, for the first time in one book, fully comprehensive coverage of multimedia databases: SQL, multimedia metadata, image processing, computer vision, information retrieval, networks, and distributed systems and database management. It provides a solid understanding of multimedia data and database technology and explains why advances in both have come together to create the field of multimedia databases. Those working in or studying multimedia databases are facing challenges that arise from integrating knowledge from a number of different fields such as multimedia, networks, communication systems, HCI and sensory systems as well as database concepts. This book provides answers to these challenges and covers all the different components that make up multimedia databases. If you're an existing or future practitioner whose working life is becoming increasingly influenced by a need to know more about multimedia databases then this book is for you. It is written in an easy to follow style with numerous practical examples and exercises and an accompanying CD that provides code examples for most chapters of the book together with examples of the implementation of multimedia databases for the two main case studies covered in the book. Multimedia databases now deal with a growing number of commercially important application areas such as media-on-demand, surveillance systems, GIS and medical information systems.
