S. Panchanathan, Forouzan Golshani, Y.C. Park · 2002
The large scale proliferation of multimedia data necessitates the use of sophisticated techniques for accessing the information based on the content. VideoRoadMap is a new content-based video indexing system for retrieving video clips and images from multimedia databases. The system indexes the audio-visual information using spatio-temporal features and information modeling methods. The proposed system employs adaptive similarity measurements based on content of media objects resulting in accurate retrieval. In addition, VideoRoadMap includes a powerful multi-faceted querying mechanism, which allows queries to be formulated and presented in a variety of modes, including query by example (image and/or video), query by sketch, query by object motion trajectory.
