Content-Based Access to Multimedia Information: From Technology Trends to State of the Art

From the Publisher: The Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC) and its member companies carried out a study in 1997 to investigate the state of the art in technologies to annotate and manipulate large-scale networks of multimedia information objects with content-based concepts. Content-Based Access to Multimedia Information: From Technology Trends to State of the Art documents the study's technology assessment and identifies shortcomings where further research and integration of technologies are needed, to meet anticipated application requirements. The major points highlighted in this book can be used as cornerstones for defining advanced research and development directions and opportunities to exploit the content available in networks of large-scale multi-media sources.
