We propose an eminent scene change detection (SCD) algorithm, and also present a new video-indexing method for fast content-based browsing and retrieval in videodatabases. The first step in our approach is to extract representative frames by using the proposed SCD algorithm from the Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) video sequence. Thereafter, we perform the video indexing by applying the rosette pattern (RP) to the extracted representative frames, and retrieve them. A principal cause of these processing procedures is that the performance of video indexing and retrieval system depends on the SCD. And how accurately SCD performs as well as a preprocessing are some of the considerations that we must take into account. Therefore, we classify every possible scene change that may happen within the video into three types: abrupt, gradual, and flashlight. And we detect every kind of scene change. Our SCD algorithm is better than the conventional ones in terms of SCD performance and we demonstrate its superiority by experiments. We also extract representative frames that represent series of detected scenes by the proposed accumulative histogram intersection measure (AHIM). Finally, we apply the RP to extracted representative frames for indexing, we can remarkably reduce the number of pixels (NOP) required to index and excellently retrieve the video scene.

With the increasing popularity of image manipulation with contents, many color-based imageretrieval techniques have been proposed in the literature. A systematic and comparative study of 8 representative techniques is first presented in this paper, which uses a database of 200 images of nags and trademarks. These techniques are determined to cover the variations of the color models used, of the characteristic color features employed and of the distance measures calculated for judging the similarity of color images. The results of this comparative study are presented both by the lists of retrieved images for subjective visual inspection and by the retrieving ratios computed for objective judgment. All of them show that the cumulative histogram based techniques using Euclidean distance measures in two perception related color spaces give best results among the 8 techniques under consideration. Started from the best performed techniques, works toward further improving their retrieving capability are then carried on and this has resulted 2 new techniques which use local cumulative histograms. The new techniques have been tested by using a database of 400 images of real flowers which are quite complicated in color contents. Some satisfactory results, compared to that obtained by using existing cumulative histogram based techniques are obtained and presented.

We have developed a TV-on-demand system that provides playback of a television program after a period ranging from a few seconds to one week after broadcast, and have conducted usage trials in cooperation with a television station in Nagano Prefecture of Japan. This system has been achieved through the development of various technologies such as automatic updating of stored television programs and contents retrieval by telop characters, Users in the trials can begin playback of a television program immediately after its broadcast has begun. The purpose of the trials was to evaluate the system's usability in applications such as contents retrieval, selective viewing of commercials, and customer service at the television station. This paper presents applied technologies and some experimental results and also addresses a new direction of information retrieval system based on the evaluation of the usage trials.

In this paper we combine image feature extraction with indexing techniques for efficient retrieval in large texture images databases. A 2D image signal is processed using a set of Gabor filters to derive a 120 component feature vector representing the image. The feature components are ordered based on the relative importance in characterizing a given texture pattern, and this facilitates the development of efficient indexing mechanisms. We propose three different sets of indexing features based on the best feature, the average feature and a combination of both. We investigate the tradeoff between accuracy and discriminating power using these different indexing approaches, and conclude that the combination of best feature and the average feature gives the best results.

Queries referring to content embedded within images are an essential component of content-based search, browse, or summarize operations in imagedatabases. Localization of such queries under changes in appearance, occlusions and background clutter, is a difficult problem, for which current spatial access structures in databases are not suitable. In this paper we present a new method of indexing imagedatabases called location hashing that uses a special data structure called the location hash tree (LHT) for organizing feature information from images of a database. Location hashing is based on the principle of geometric hashing and determines simultaneously, the relevant images in the database and the regions within them that are most likely to contain a 2d pattern query without incurring detailed search of either. The location hash tree being a red-black tree, allows for efficient search for candidate locations using pose-invariant feature information derived from the query.

With the currently existing shot change detection algorithms, abrupt changes are detected fairly well. It is thus more challenging to detect gradual changes including fades, dissolves, and wipes as these are often missed or falsely detected. In this paper, we focus on the detection of wipes. The proposed algorithm begins by processing the visual rhythm, a portion of the DC image sequence. It is a single image, a sub-sampled version of a full video in which the sampling is performed in a pre-determined and in a systematic fashion. The visual rhythm contains distinctive patterns or visual features for many different types of video effects. The different video effects manifest themselves differently on the visual rhythm. In particular, wipes appear as curves that run from the top to the bottom of the visual rhythm. Thus, using the visual rhythm, it becomes possible to automatically detect wipes simply by determining various lines and curves on the visual rhythm.

In this paper, we describe the SS+-tree, a tree structure for supporting similarity searches in a high-dimensional Euclidean space. Compared to the SS-tree, the tree uses a tighter bounding sphere for each node which is an approximation to the smallest enclosing sphere and it also makes a better use of the clustering property of the available data by using a variant of the k-means clustering algorithm as the split heuristic for its nodes. A local reorganization rule is also introduced during the tree building to reduce the overlapping between the nodes' bounding spheres.
