Abstract
The ever-increasing volume of multimedia data being generated in the world has led to much research interest in multimedia database retrieval since the early years of the twentieth century. Computer vision and machine learning technologies have been developed, forming a solid research foundation for the creation of stage-of-the-art applications, such as MPEG-7, interactive multimedia retrieval, multimodal fusion, annotation, and database re-ranking. The time has come to explore the consequences of these multimedia applications. Multimedia Database Retrieval: Technology and Application is an application-oriented book, borne out of established researchers in this emerging field. It covers the latest developments and important applications in multimedia database technology, and offers a glimpse of future technologies.
