VIDEX: an integrated generic video indexing approach

ABSTRACT

This paper presents an integrated generic technique for low-and high-level video indexing. The proposed approach tries to integrate the advantages of existing low- and high-level video indexing approaches by reducing their shortcomings. Furthermore, the model introduces concepts for a detailed structuring of video streams, and for correlations of low-and high-level video objects. The proposed model is called generic, as it only defines a framework of classes for an implementating a prototype of a distibuted multimedia information system supporting content-based video retrieval.
