Research on how to efficiently access video content has become increasingly active in the past few years. Considerable progress has been made in video analysis, representation, browsing, and retrieval, which are the four fundamental bases for accessing video content. Video analysis deals with the signal processing part of the video system, including shot boundary detection, key frame extraction, etc. Video representation is concerned with the structure of the video. An example of a video representation is the tree structured key frame hierarchy. Built on top of the video representation, video browsing deals with how to use the representation structure to help viewers browse the video content. Finally, video retrieval is concerned with retrieving interesting video objects.
