TVFind - An MPEG-7 based video management system over Internet

A projected growth of digital video databases and hence the importance of management strategies creates a challenging task for researchers. Index and search technology must enable access to humanly meaningful segments within video data streams if this increase of content is to be at all useful. The fundamental task in video analysis and retrieval then is to facilitate the human computer interface by bridging the worlds of low-level physical features in media and high-level human description. In this paper, we have discussed the key issues about design and implement a video management system based on MPEG-7. From this, we introduce Tsinghua Video Find-It System (TVFind), a prototype platform for retrieving and browsing within a video database system over web.
