DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING PART IV PROJECT FINAL REPORT 2003

There is an increasing need for advanced management and retrieval techniques of multimedia information due to the daily increase in multimedia. Multimedia information includes images, audio, graphics, text and video. Advanced management demands a technique that allows users to interact with huge volumes of multimedia information, so that this information is readily and easily available when required. Effective management of multimedia information can be achieved through the creation of an MPEG-7 database. Modeling the MPEG-7 standard, formally known as Multimedia Content Description Interface to a relational database system creates the structure of this database. MPEG-7 is a new, internationally recognised standard that describes multimedia content to allow fast and efficient searching of multimedia information. A relational database system provides a common place to store data and allows sharing and linking of data from various different sources. This project develops a tool called Video High Lighter (VidHL), which aims to effectively manage video data and allow efficient retrieval of video highlights that are of interest to the end-user. The main feature of this tool is MPEG-7, not only because it is a new and unique standard, but also because it is based on XML (Extensible Markup Language). XML is a self-describing data format that is emerging as a common standard for information exchange. This report contains the design process that was undertaken to implement VidHL and describes the VidHL system architecture. It presents an analysis of VidHL and outlines the future contributions that can be made towards improving the current features of VidHL.
