....of images that are available. As one example, AltaVista has over 29 million images in its index as of May 1, 2002. 1] Another important issue is finding ways of searching through the enormous pool of information when users may be unable to accurately describe exactly what they are looking for [5]. A recent survey paper on Internet search identifies three important activities that are necessary for successful search [11] The first is indexing, which in the case of images, includes finding appropriate features to describe an image, as well as cataloging those features and the image s ....

....the authors determined that text based keyword searching for images increased the cognitive load on the user, requiring more work to visually inspect the results, determine relevance, and decide whether and how to reformulate the query. Specialized multimedia retrieval systems such as WebSEEk [5, 14] and AMORE [12] combine both textbased and content based retrieval of images. WebSEEk, for example, allows users to first narrow down their searches by selecting a category from a semi automatically defined hierarchy. Images are pre assigned to categories based on textual cues such as file names ....

....to identify the desired video manually. The title and description de nitely give the user a general idea about the video. However, a preview is usually required to give a better picture of the entire video. Conventional pipelining is unable to support this feature. Many digital video libraries [1, 2, 3, 4] have to use an extra preview le for each video. The preview le is created in advance by extracting only important frames from the original video using some image processing techniques. This approach has two drawbacks. First, it requires more storage space on the servers. Second, downloading the ....

D EM algorithm has the potential to many other applications. 1 Introduction Recent years have witnessed a rapid increase of the volume of digital image collections, which motivates the research of image retrieval [2, 9, 11]. Early research of image retrieval is searching by manually annotating every image in a database. However, these text based techniques are impractical for two reasons: large size of image databases and subjective meanings of images. To avoid manual annotating, an alternative approach is ....

....feature space instead of raw image space. Physical features and mathematical features are two typical representations. Many research e#orts have been made to extract physical features such as color features, texture features, edge features, structure features, or combination of these features [2, 7, 12]. However, images are too rich to represent by these physical features. An alternative representation is mathematical features, which only performs dimension reduction in mathematical senses. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a typical technique to obtain such mathematical features [14] ....

The quality and the direction of the observed motion help clarify and intensify visual events for a viewer and therefore serve as powerful search cues in content recollection and retrieval. They are employed in generating useful descriptions of what is happening in videos [2, 3], especially in genres such as sports and movies. For example, swift motion indicates increased attention tempo tension while slow tracking sets up an intimate mood in a video. High motion scenes are often used to identify high action scenes and can be used in summarizing a video. This paper ....
