Trail-Based Approach for Video Data Indexing and Retrieval

Increasing use of multimedia data makes it crucial t o use intelligent search mechanisms for retrieving multimedia data by content. Digital video requires the incorporation of temporal information for any effective content-based retrieval scheme. We present a trail-based model which uses the object motion information an order to characterize the events for subsequent searches for "similar" clips. Algorithms for different spatio-temporal search modes using various digital signal processing iechniques are also introduced. We implemented the proposed methods and demonstrated that high-level query formulation can be achieved for the aforementioned purpose.
