Abstract

An increasing number of large video libraries, which are becoming publicly available, result in a demand for techniques that can manipulate the video data based on content. This has led to a wide range of research on techniques for video database management systems (see [1–4] for reviews). However, a traditional database management system does not provide enough facilities for managing and retrieving video contents. Therefore, in the preceding chapters, we have recommended some solutions for the major problems. First, we have proposed a suitable video framework and then several knowledge-based methods for interpreting raw data into semantic content.
