This paper presents a novel approach for videoretrieval from a large archive of MPEG or Motion JPEG(1) compressed video clips. We introduce a retrieval algorithm that takes a video clip as a query and searches the database for clips with similar contents. video clips are characterized by a sequence of representative frame signatures, which are constructed from DC coefficients and motion information (''DC+M'' signatures). The similarity between two video clips is determined by using their respective signatures. This method facilitates retrieval of clips for the purpose of video editing, broadcast news retrieval, or copyright violation detection.

In this paper, a novel visual search engine for videoretrieval and tracking from compressed multimedia databases is proposed. Our approach exploits the structure of video compression standards in order to perform object matching directly on the compressed video data. This is achieved by utilizing motion compensation-a critical prediction filter embedded in video compression standards-to estimate and interpolate the desired method for template matching. Motion analysis is used to implement fast tracking of objects of interest on the compressed video data. Being presented with a query in the form of template images of objects, the system operates on the compressed video in order to find the images or video sequences where those objects are present and their positions in the image. This in turn enables the retrieval and display of the query-relevant sequences.

Content based retrieval on large multimedia database attracts the interests of many researchers, but the database architecture needed for content based retrieval is still an open problem. Traditional relation database system does not support the high-dimension feature form content description and indexing, thus is limited in its content based retrieval function. Some systems do support high-dimension feature form content description and indexing, but lacks descriptions and query expressions on media object content and relations. In this paper, we present our study results on query mechanism and proposed CbExpr - a powerful flexible query expression mechanism on media object. Based on CbExpr we proposed GMA (general mediabase architecture) - a general architecture for management and content based retrieval on large media databases, and videoBase - a content based videoretrieval system is present as example of GMA. Basic thoughts, considerations, and definitions are presented in the paper, also with some implementation details.

A prototype of the content-based imageretrieval system is implemented based on the algorithms introduced in this paper. The image contents at the high levels are extracted. The fuzzy C-means classifier is employed to compute the object clusters and provide useful information for overlapped clusters. The automatic image segmentation and categorisation is achieved. To obtain the context for imageretrieval, the subjective context and the objective context are modelled by means of the fuzzy sets theory. The system is able to trace the users' interactions during retrieval. The refinements of the retrieval results can be made while the users are submitting the queries telling the specific requirements.

In this paper me present a framework for content based query and retrieval of information from large videodatabases. This framework enables content based retrieval of video sequences by characterizing the sequences using motion, texture and colorimetry cues. This characterization is biologically inspired and results in a compact parameter space where every segment of video is represented by an 8 dimensional vector. Searching and retrieval is done in real-time with accuracy in this parameter space. Using this characterization, we then evolve a set of discriminators using Genetic Programming. Experiments indicate that these discriminators are capable of analyzing and characterizing video. The videoBook is able to search and retrieve video sequences with 92% accuracy in real-time. Experiments thus demonstrate that the characterization is capable of extracting higher level structure from raw pixel values.

The large amount of available multimedia information (e.g. videos, audio, images) requires efficient and effective annotation and retrieval methods. As videos start playing a more important role in the frame of multimedia, we want to make these available for content-based retrieval. The imageMiner-System, which was developed at the University of Bremen in the AI group, is designed for content-based retrieval of single images by a new combination of techniques and methods from computer vision and artificial intelligence. In our approach to make videos available for retrieval in a large database of videos and images there are two necessary steps: First, the detection and extraction of shots from a video, which is done by a histogram based method and second, the construction of the separate frames in a shot to one still single image. This is performed by a mosaicing-technique. The resulting mosaiced image gives a one imagevisualization of the shot and can be analyzed by the the imageMiner-System. imageMiner has been tested on several domains, (e.g. landscape images, technical drawings), which cover a wide range of applications.

With the abstraction of digital video as the corresponding binary video- a process which upon numerous subjective experimentation seems to preserve (most of the) intelligibility of video content- we can pursue a precise and analytic approach to (digital videostorage and retrieval) algorithm design that are based upon geometrical (morphological) intuition. The foremost and tangible general benefit of such abstraction, however, is the immediate reductions of both data and computational complexities involved in implementing various algorithms and databases. The general paradigm presented may be utilized to address all issues pertaining to video library construction including visualization, optimum feedback query generation, object recognition, e.t.c., but the primary focus of attention in this paper are the ones pertaining to detection of fast (including presence of flashlights) and gradual scene changes (such as dissolves, fades, and various special effects such as wipes). Upon simulation we observed that we can achieve performances comparable to those of others with drastic reductions in both storage and computational complexities. Furthermore, since the conversion from grayscale to binary videos can be performed directly (with minimal additional computation) in the compressed domain by thresholding on the DCT DC coefficients themselves (or by using the contour information attached to MPEG4 formats), the algorithms presented herein are ideally suited for performing fast (on-the-fly) determinations of scene change, object recognition and/or tracking, and other more intelligent tasks traditionally requiring heavy demand on computational and/or storage complexities. The fast determinations may then be used on their own merits or can be used in conjunction or complementation with other higher-layer information in the future.

The realization of image/video database requires a specific design for both database structures and mass storage management. This issue has addressed the project of the digital image/video database system that has been designed at IBM SEMEA Scientific & Technical Solution Center. Proper database structures have been defined to catalog image/video coding technique with the related parameters, and the description of image/video contents. User workstations and servers are distributed along a local area network. image/video files are not managed directly by the DBMS server. Because of their wide size, they are stored outside the database on network devices. The database contains the pointers to the image/video files and the description of the storage devices. The system can use different kinds of storage media, organized in a hierarchical structure. Three levels of functions are available to manage the storage resources. The functions of the lower level provide media management. They allow it to catalog devices and to modify device status and device network location. The medium level manages image/video files on a physical basis. It manages file migration between high capacity media and low access time media. The functions of the upper level work on image/video file on a logical basis, as they archive, move and copy image/video data selected by user defined queries. These functions are used to support the implementation of a storage management strategy. The database information about characteristics of both storage devices and coding techniques are used by the third level functions to fit delivery/visualization requirements and to reduce archiving costs.

We study the problem of retrieving images using a small template. The goal is to allow a user to search for images containing a pattern similar to the template, adding to the capability of a search engine. We propose to employ a segmentation-based approach. As a specific example, we introduce a quadtree segmentation technique for textured images and a distance measure, Sum of Minimum Distance, suitable for template-based imageretrieval applications.
