Distributed Multimedia Databases: Techniques and Applications

Be the first to write a review

Overview

Multimedia experts discuss technologies for content-based information retrieval in databases containing elements such as audio, still images, and video. Unlike text databases, searching through audio and video clips may rely on unconventional query methods including scene identification, object tracing, speech detection and recognition, and motion detection. Shih (computer science and information engineering, Tamkang U., Taiwan) edits topics including emergence indexes in image databases, video abstraction ...

More About This Book

Overview

Multimedia experts discuss technologies for content-based information retrieval in databases containing elements such as audio, still images, and video. Unlike text databases, searching through audio and video clips may rely on unconventional query methods including scene identification, object tracing, speech detection and recognition, and motion detection. Shih (computer science and information engineering, Tamkang U., Taiwan) edits topics including emergence indexes in image databases, video abstraction techniques for a digital library, and embedding robust gray-level watermarks using discrete cosine transformation. The book may serve advanced students and professionals in computer science, computer engineering, multimedia studies, and management information systems.

Editorial Reviews

From The Critics
Focusing on multimedia database techniques, this book identifies current challenges facing researchers and practitioners and suggests directions for possible solutions. Attention is paid to issues related to the modeling, specification, analysis, and design of distributed multimedia database systems and multimedia information retrieval. Twenty-two chapters discuss content-based retrieval, image database techniques, video database and video on demand, media synchronization and multicast, and future directions, as well as providing five case studies.
