Fast polynomial regression transform for video database

Important issues in multimedia information systems are the development of efficient storage layout models and effective retrieval system to manage multimedia databases. In multimedia information systems, the capability for interaction with video media type is still extremely limited due to a huge amount of video databases. We present the Fast Polynomial Regression Transform (FPRT) based metadata scheme for manipulating the large video database in the paper. This new metadata scheme provides the simplification of the query mechanism and the improvement of communication in multimedia systems. The main advantage of the proposed approach is the reduction of the data storage space while preserving much video content information. Other advantages are computational simplicity for video information coding and accuracy for video indexing. Visual tools for video representation and browsing are also presented
