VidIO : a model for personalized video information management
VidIO : a model for personalized video information management
The state-of-the-art of video indexing and retrieval techniques for video systems is becoming better and better from day to day. Finally, automated techniques can be expected to be realised in the coming years, and more and more users will be using video systems. Existing systems have already been applied for analysis purposes, video production, authoring purposes and as video information servers, where the basic activity that a user performs for such a video application is video retrieval. Users will approach the task of retrieving video sequences from different perspectives and for different purposes. The important assets to the user in each retrieval are the results. Once they have found the required sentences, they would want to store the sequences so they can refer to and process those sequences again in the future. Over time, the user needs a tool for organising such personalised video collections according to their own needs. Moreover, a video itself is composed of rich material which has a number of structural components with spatial and temporal features. This means components in a video will be interpreted differently when organised or used in a different context or story structure. It would be more useful if the video organiser can support the organisation and composition of those components as well.
This thesis describes the development of a Video Information Organiser called VidIO which tries to fulfil the requirement of personalised video information management that has been missing from existing video systems. VidIO supports tools for sub-dividing, re-indexing and maintaining the results of video retrieval. The creation of a video document is supported using a hierarchical description structure that provides a way for preserving the linear story structure in original video materials as well as for organising and composing personalised video materials.
The integration of VidIO, a video database application, with hypermedia systems is also described. This work was undertaken to demonstrate the role of such a video organiser in a hypermedia environment and shows how the integration of database and hypermedia techniques can complement each other in providing access to digital video libraries.

Abstract
The state-of-the-art of video indexing and retrieval techniques for video systems is becoming better and better from day to day. Finally, automated techniques can be expected to be realised in the coming years, and more and more users will be using video systems. Existing systems have already been applied for analysis purposes, video production, authoring purposes and as video information servers, where the basic activity that a user performs for such a video application is video retrieval. Users will approach the task of retrieving video sequences from different perspectives and for different purposes. The important assets to the user in each retrieval are the results. Once they have found the required sentences, they would want to store the sequences so they can refer to and process those sequences again in the future. Over time, the user needs a tool for organising such personalised video collections according to their own needs. Moreover, a video itself is composed of rich material which has a number of structural components with spatial and temporal features. This means components in a video will be interpreted differently when organised or used in a different context or story structure. It would be more useful if the video organiser can support the organisation and composition of those components as well.
