Semantic Mining Technologies for Multimedia Databases (Premier Reference Source)

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. Semantic Mining Technologies for Multimedia Databases 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.
