Intelligent Systems for Video Analysis and Access over the Internet (Prentice Hall Imsc Press Multimedia Series.)

Intelligent Systems for Video Analysis and Access Over the Internet surveys new advances in efficient, automated multimedia content analysis, indexing, and access for the next-generation multimedia Web. It presents new algorithms for analyzing the perceptual and conceptual contents of multimedia streams, and introduces intelligent software agents for processing and decomposing them in real time. Finally, it demonstrates how to integrate automated analysis, clustering, and classification to organize, present, and customize multimedia content rapidly and efficiently.
