碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊工程學系 === 84 === With the advance of computer hardware and software technology, theapplications of multimedia interactive information systems become the risingtopics of computer business and are very popular. Video is the popular media inmultimedia systems and the applications of video are board in many aspects. However, the volume of video data is very large, and it is difficult todescribe the content of videos. It is necessary to develop a database system toprocess, maintain and manage video data for fast retrieval, reusing, on demandservice or other applications. In this thesis we construct a prototype of an interactive Chinese newsvideo database system. The system provides users to easily retrieve the newsvideo clips by graphical user interface. Each video clip in the system containsa Chinese free text description which describes the content of the video clip,and a list of attributes which describe the features or other importantinformation of the video clip. It supports the best matching query of thedescriptions and exact matching query of the attributes. In our system, thereare five major subsystems : annotation, indexing, text processing, querymanipulation, and storage subsystems. Each video clip is compressed in MPEG-IIstandard format, and is saved as a file. This video database can be easilyapplied for the news video applications, including news on demand service andelectronic news.
