The shot based classification and retrieval is very important for video database organization and access. In this paper we present a new approach 'Nearest Feature Line - NFL' used in shot retrieval. We look key-frames in shot as feature points to represent the shot in feature space. Lines connecting the feature points are further used to approximate the variations in the whole shot. The similarity between the query image and the shots in video database are measured by calculating the distance between the query image and the feature lines in feature space. To make it more suitable to video data, we improved the original NFL method by adding constrains on the feature lines. Experimental results show that our improved NFL method is better than the traditional classification methods such as Nearest Neighbor (NN) and Nearest Center (NC).

We described a web-based data warehousing method for retrieving and analyzing neurological multimedia information. The web-based method supports convenient access, effective search and retrieval of clinical textual and image data, and on-line analysis. To improve the flexibility and efficiency of multimedia information query and analysis, a three-tier, multimedia data warehouse for epilepsy research has been built. The data warehouse integrates clinical multimedia data related to epilepsy from disparate sources and archives them into a well-defined data model. The middle-ware consists of business logic components such web server, applets and active server page (ASP) scripts for dealing with user authentication and authorization, HTTP request, SQL data access from data warehouse and algorithms to support data analysis. At client side, a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) is used to receive user's query request and display the retrieved textual data. Client-side image processing and display for DICOM format was implemented by Java applets. An image query and display method based on 3D projections has been developed to retrieve and analyze MRI and PET.

This papers describes a benchmark test for content-based image retrieval systems (CBIRSs) with the query by example (QBE) query paradigm. This benchmark is accessible via the Internet and thus allows to evaluate any CBIRS which is compliant with the multimedia Retrieval Markup Language (MRML) for query formulation and result transmission. Thus it allows a quick and easy comparison between different features and algorithms for CBIRSs. The benchmark is based on a standardized communication protocol to do the communication between benchmark server and benchmarked system and it uses a freely downloadable image database (DB) to make the results reproducible. A CBIR system that uses MRML and other components to develop MRML-based applications can be downloaded free of charge as well. The evaluation is based on several queries and known relevance sets for these queries. Several answer sets for one query image are possible if judgments of several users exist, thus almost any sort of judgment can be incorporated into the system. The final results are averaged over all queries. The evaluation of several steps of relevance feedback (RF) based on the collected relevance judgments is also included into the benchmark. The performance of RF is often regarded to be even more important than the performance in the first query step because only with RF the adaptation of the system to the users subjective goal can be measured. For the evaluation of a system with RF, the same evaluation measures are used as for the first query step.

MPEG-7 is a standard to provide a standardized way of describing contents of multimedia information. The development of technologies related to the MPEG-7 and exploiting MPEG-7 applications have been a main research interest of us for the last two years. TV broadcasting is one specific area of interest among various applications to which MPEG-7 can be of benefit. The Video-Gadget (TM), which is an indexing and retrieval engine of multimedia data, is designed to aid user friendly environment of Digital TV as well as conventional analogue TV. By enabling automatic feature extraction and indexing of received m program with help of low-cost random access storage device, a dull and conventional TV can turn into an interactive personalized entertainment center. With various user-friendly functionalities such as non-linear browsing of received programs, structure-based navigation, and searching/filtering of programs, the user can view the received program anytime the user prefers in the way the user prefers. Even though the Video-Gadget (TM) project, which is currently in progress, aims an environment of the Digital TV broadcast with MPEG-7 descriptions, a version of the Video-Gadget (TM) is under development to actually generate MPEG-7-like descriptions while the analogue stream is received. The real-time generation of the content description in detail brings many problems to solve such as limited I/O bandwidth and computing power and extensive sharing of the system resources. Due to the limited resource, some features are impossible to be extract in the real time, the functionality using those features should be redesigned to use simpler features. Once the Digital TV broadcast with MPEG-7 descriptions become available, the feature extraction part of the Video-Gadget (TM) will be employed by the MPEG-7 description generation server or the service provider and only the retrieval engine including search, browsing, and filtering functionality will remain in the client part.

CDMA systems in multipath fading channels need to estimate channel parameters for coherent detection of the transmitted signals. In this paper we present a simple but effective channel estimation algorithm that can be incorporated into most types of multiuser receivers to obtain good detection performance. This technique uses a set of correlation filters to independently estimate each of the channel parameters. One advantage our method has over subspace-based algorithms for channel estimation is that it can estimate the channel parameters without phase or amplitude ambiguity. Simulation results demonstrating that our channel estimator is capable of tracking reasonably fast fading channels are also presented in the paper.
