Video query processing in the VDBMS testbed for video database research

The increased use of video data sets for multimedia-based applications has created a demand for strong video database support, including efficient methods for handling the contentbased query and retrieval of video data. Video query processing presents significant research challenges, mainly associated with the size, complexity and unstructured nature of video data. A video query processor must support video operations for search by content and streaming, new query types, and the incorporation of video methods and operators in generating, optimizing and executing query plans. In this paper, we address these query processing issues in two contexts, first as applied to the video data type and then as applied to the stream data type. We present the query processing functionality of the VDBMS video database management system, which was designed to support a full range ionality for video as an abstract data type. We describe two query operators for the video data type which implement the ra...
