Real Time Scene Segmentation of Video Data Using Histogramming Analisys

Chapter 1: Introduction _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Combining images, sound, motion video sequences are a rich source of information used in numerous capacities. The demand for digital video is widening in many areas such as video conferencing, multimedia authoring systems, education, training, "movie-on-demand" for in-home use, etc ... The technologies which have been developed to transmit, store and access alphanumeric data DBMS ( Data Base Management System ) are used in a wide variety of application. The data acquisition process in typical alphanumeric databases rely primarily on a user to type in data. Similarly, past visual databases have provided keyword descriptions of the visual data, so data entry did not vary much from the original alphanumeric system. In many cases, however, these old visual systems have many drawbacks, such as inadequate choice of keywords to use in a query, the context in which the words are used, and the influence of the operator during the construction of the database. The new era in Information System Design is IDBMS ( Image Data Base Management System ). It is an efficient, flexible and robust system for handling image data. For IDBMS the data is characterised by features which allows query by image content rather than dependent on selected keywords. The goal of this technique is to
