Video and image databases: who cares?
Edward J. Delp · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1998
In this paper, I will not discuss the research frontiers of image and video data bases, but who will be the users of these systems. Questions which have not been adequately addressed by the research community are, who are the users, and what do they really want these systems to do? The purpose of this paper is to be controversial and to engage a debate within the research community, as to where the real applications of our work lie. It should be noted that the author does not agree with every point made in this paper.
