The decreasing costs of consumer  electronic devices such as digital cameras and digital camcorders,  along with the ease of transportation facilitated by the Internet, has  lead to a phenomenal rise in the amount of multimedia data generated  and distributed. Given that this trend of increased use of multimedia  data is likely to accelerate, there is an urgent need for providing a  clear means of capturing, storing, indexing, retrieving, analyzing and  summarizing such data. \u003cbr\u003e  Content-based access to multimedia data is of primary importance since  it is the natural way by which human beings interact with such  information. To facilitate the content-based access of multimedia  information, the first step is to derive feature measures from these  data so that a feature space representation of the data content can be  formed. This can subsequently allow for mapping the feature space to  the symbol space (semantics) either automatically or through human  intervention. Thus, signal to symbol mapping, useful for any practical  system, can be successfully achieved. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003ePerspectives on Content-Based Multimedia Systems\u003c\/em\u003e provides a  comprehensive set of techniques to tackle these important issues. This  book offers detailed solutions to a wide range of practical problems  in building real systems by providing specifics of three systems built  by the authors. While providing a systems focus, it also equips the  reader with a keen understanding of the fundamental issues, including  a formalism for content-based multimedia database systems, multimedia  feature extraction, object-based techniques, signature-based  techniques and fuzzy retrieval techniques. The performance evaluation  issues of practical systems is also explained. This book brings  together essential elements of building a content-based multimedia  database system in a way that makes them accessible to practitioners  in computer science and electrical engineering. It can also serve as a  textbook for graduate-level courses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792379447\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/b116171\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 391\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265494306956,"sku":"9780792379447","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792379447.jpg?v=1770780745","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792379447","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
