Video Database Systems: Issues, Products and Applications, presents a
brief but indepth introduction to issues involved in implementing
a video database. Important research issues covered include video
data modeling, video data insertion, video scene analysis, video data
indexing and video queries. It also covers infrastructure issues needed
to support video databases such as, video data compression standards,
video server design and implementation, network and operating system
support, and copyright protection.
A unique feature of this book is that it goes beyond concepts.
It covers in great detail many video products currently available in the
market. The market survey is broken down into several categories such
as video storage systems, and video servers.
Finally, the book devotes a chapter to discuss ten emerging and existing
applications of video databases. An extensive appendix which includes
hundreds of URLs pointing to readily available sources of information on
projects, products and applications is also provided.
Audience: A valuable reference for practitioners and users. A must read
for anyone who is planning or in the middle of a video database project.
It is also a good source of information to those wanting to be
inititated to the subject. Researchers as well as teachers should find
it essential reading.
