Multimedia Database Management Systems (The Springer International Series in Engineering...
Product Description Multimedia Database Management Systems presents the issues and the techniques used in building multimedia database management systems. Chapter 1 provides an overview of multimedia databases and underlines the new requirements for these applications. Chapter 2 discusses the techniques used for storing and retrieving multimedia objects. Chapter 3 presents the techniques used for generating metadata for various media objects. Chapter 4 looks at the mechanisms used for storing the index information needed for accessing different media objects. Chapter 5 analyzes the approaches for modeling media objects, both their temporal and spatial characteristics. Object-oriented approach, with some additional features, has been widely used to model multimedia information. The book discusses two systems that use object-oriented models: OVID (Object Video Information Database) and Jasmine. The models for representing temporal and spatial requirements of media objects are then studied. The book also describes authoring techniques used for specifying temporal and spatial characteristics of multimedia databases. Chapter 6 explains different types of multimedia queries, the methodologies for processing them and the language features for describing them. The features offered by query languages such as SQL/MM (Structured Query Language for Multimedia), PICQUERY+, and Video SQL are also studied. Chapter 7 deals with the communication requirements for multimedia databases. A client accessing multimedia data over computer networks requirements to identify a schedule for retrieving various media objects composing the database. The book identifies possible ways for generating a retrieval schedule. Chapter 8 ties together the techniques discussed in the previous chapters by providing a simple architecture of a distributed multimedia database management system. Multimedia Database Management Systems can be used as a text for graduate students and researchers working in the area of multimedia databases. In addition, the book serves as essential reading material for computer professionals who are in (or moving to) the area of multimedia databases. Reader Reviews This book is good and it contains almost all the concepts of this area published till the date of the publication of this book. I would mainly like toMahabala, the first reviewer of this book. He was my Ph.D. guide in IIT Madras. I spent eight years with him and at the end he simply sent me out without allowing me to submit the thesis (Another Professor Khemani helped him in this). Please please do not believe Prof. Mahabala's words. He does not know any thing in modern computer science but he speakes as if he knows every thing. May be he is feeling that he is eligible for receiving Turing award!!! He always worried how to get admission for his daughter's (who got MCA degree in India) MS admission in the University of Maryland. Of course finally he managed. I hate this Mahabla and his comments. The best filed for him is Indian politics and I am sure he will shine as a politician in India!!! Comment (1) | | (Report this)
