Résumé
Multimedia Databases brings together, for the first time
in one book, a fully comprehensive coverage of multimedia
databases- SQL, image processing, computer vision,
information retrieval, networks, and distributed systems
and database management.
It provides a solid understanding of multimedia data and
database technology and explains why advances in both have
come together to create the field of Multimedia databases.
Anyone working in or studying multimedia databases are
facing challenges that arise from integrating knowledge
from a number of different fields such as multimedia,
networks, communication systems, HCI and sensory systems as
well as database concepts. This book provides answers to
these challenges and covers all the different components
that make up Multimedia databases.
If you're an existing or future practitioner whose working
life is becoming increasingly influenced by a need to know
more about Multimedia databases then this book if for you.
It is written in an easy to follow style with numerous
practical examples and exercises and an accompanying CD
which provides code examples for every chapter of the book
and examples of the implementation of multimedia databases
for the two main case studies covered in the book.
Multimedia databases now deal with a growing number of
commercially important application areas such as
media-on-demand, surveillance systems, GIS and medical
information systems. Multimedia Databases covers- -
- The main features of multimedia data, compression (MPEG etc)
- The extraction and generation of metadata (including MPEG 7 and 23)
- The main features of SQL data types in relation to multimedia data
- How object-relational features of SQL3 can be used to create methods to manipulate large binary objects
- The implementation of user-defined types in Oracle and DB2
- The problems and solutions for manipulating multimedia data particularly in relation to querying, indexing and summarising multimedia data
- Multimedia architecture requirements, in particular, tuning and performance storage parameters
- Main features of Internet Protocols used for the transmission of multimedia data and network architecture to the delivery of multimedia
- Covers internet databases and looks at metadata and xml databases
- Plus much more.
