Multimedia Management Now Popular Among Businesses

HERSHEY, PA - March 20, 2009 - Multimedia searching and management have become popular due to demanding applications and competition among companies. Despite the increase in interest, there is no existing book covering basic knowledge on state-of-the-art techniques within the field.

IGI Global�s newest release, Semantic Mining Technologies for Multimedia Databases (edited by Dacheng Tao, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, Dong Xu, Columbia University, USA, and Xuelong Li, University of London, UK), provides an introduction to the most recent techniques in multimedia semantic mining necessary to researchers new to the field. This book serves as an important reference in multimedia for academicians, multimedia technologists and researchers, and academic libraries.

"With the explosive growth of multimedia databases in terms of both size and variety, effective and efficient indexing and searching techniques for large-scale multimedia databases have become an urgent research topic in recent years," writes Tao.

Selected Chapters:

• Video Representation and Processing for Multimedia Data Mining
• Image Features from Morphological Scale-spaces
• Shape Matching for Foliage Database Retrieval
• Active Learning for Relevance Feedback in Image Retrieval
• Content-Based Video Semantic Analysis
