Abstract :
We propose an abstract multimedia query calculus that is built upon a set of generalized n-ary spatio-temporal relations and the object-oriented modeling paradigm for multimedia data. The proposed calculus allows the declaration of multimedia data, specification of spatio-temporal logic, formulation of spatio-temporal queries for content-based retrieval of image/video data, and composition/retrieval of multimedia documents
