Exploring image functionalities in WWW applications development of image/video search and editing engines

Image technologies provide critical components for achieving various Web-based multimedia applications. We identify key technical challenges in today's image/video applications on the WWW. We present two prototype systems, a video search engine (WebSEEk) and a compressed video editor (WebClip), to demonstrate technical challenges and viable solutions. We also discuss major issues in developing next-generation, scalable solutions for large-scale, distributed on-line environments.
