Content-Based Image and Video Indexing and Retrieval

Abstract

This paper surveys some of the existing techniques and systems for content-based indexing and retrieval of two main types of multimedia data – images and videos. Furthermore, some of our recent work are reported. Specifically, in content-based image retrieval, we have proposed multi-scale color histograms by incorporating color and spatial information. In content-based video retrieval, we have proposed a new level of program between story/event and video sequence levels. Video summarization results are given based on the scene clustering results.
