More About This Textbook
Overview
Great advances have been made in the database field. Relational and object- oriented databases, distributed and client/server databases, and large-scale data warehousing are among the more notable. However, none of these advances promises to have as great and direct an effect on the daily lives of ordinary citizens as video databases. Video databases will provide a quantum jump in our ability to deal with visual data, and in allowing people to access and manipulate visual information in ways hitherto thought impossible.
Video Database Systems: Issues, Products and Applications gives practical information on academic research issues, commercial products that have already been developed, and the applications of the future driving this research and development. This book can also be considered a reference text for those entering the field of video or multimedia databases, as well as a reference for practitioners who want to identify the kinds of products needed in order to utilize video databases.
Video Database Systems: Issues, Products and Applications covers concepts, products and applications. It is written at a level which is less detailed than that normally found in textbooks but more in-depth than that normally written in trade press or professional reference books. Thus, it seeks to serve both an academic and industrial audience by providing a single source of information about the research issues in the field, and the state-of-the-art of practice.
Editorial Reviews
Booknews
A reference on the barely emerging marriage of video systems and databases, examining the academic research issues that are still to be overcome, the commercial products that are already available, and the application potentials that are pulling the research and development of the technology. The level of detail is closer to that in trade books or professional references than to that in textbooks. Addressed to academic or industrial readers who are in or entering the field of video or multimedia databases or who may want to use them in another field.
