Abstract

The most useful environments for advancing research and development in video databases are those that provide complete video database management, including (1) video preprocessing and meta-data generation, (2) video and meta-data storage management, (3) indexing and query processing, (4) buffer management, and (5) continuous media streaming. These environments support the entire process of investigating, implementing, analyzing and evaluating new techniques, thus identifying in a concrete way which techniques are truly practical and robust. In this paper we present a video database research initiative that began in June 2000, and has culminated in the successful development of a video database research platform that supports comprehensive and efficient database management capabilities for digital video libraries. The research issues involved in developing the basic system components are described, and the value of the system as a development environment is illustrated by a performance study addressing the query processing component.
