Product Description
Brings together for the first time in one book fully comprehensive coverage of multimedia databases. Covers SQL3 and includes examples and practical exercises. Softcover.

From the Back Cover

Multimedia Databases brings together, for the first time in one book, a fully comprehensive coverage of multimedia databases: SQL, multimedia metadata, 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 is 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 most chapters 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.
