Great advances have been made in the database field. Relational  and object- oriented databases, distributed and client/server  databases, and large-scale data warehousing are among the more  notable. However, none of these advances promises to have as great and  direct an effect on the daily lives of ordinary citizens as video  databases. Video databases will provide a quantum jump in our ability  to deal with visual data, and in allowing people to access and  manipulate visual information in ways hitherto thought impossible.    Video Database Systems: Issues, Products and Applications gives  practical information on academic research issues, commercial products  that have already been developed, and the applications of the future  driving this research and development. This book can also be  considered a reference text for those entering the field of video or  multimedia databases, as well as a reference for practitioners who  want to identify the kinds of products needed in order to utilize  video databases.   Video Database Systems: Issues, Products and Applications covers  concepts, products and applications. It is written at a level which is  less detailed than that normally found in textbooks but more in-depth  than that normally written in trade press or professional reference  books. Thus, it seeks to serve both an academic and industrial  audience by providing a single source of information about the  research issues in the field, and the state-of-the-art of practice.
