Abstract

The change from analogue broadcasting to digital MPEG-2 channels among the satellite programs resulted in new demands on video databases and archives. Digital archives offer on the one hand a reduction of storage costs, and enable on the other hand easy reuse of already existing material. However, searching for appropriate film material in large archives is still a tedious problem. This paper describes a generic annotation model for MPEG movies which enables the user to structure the film in as many hierarchical levels as needed and to annotate any physical or logical part of the film with generic definable attributes. The model was implemented in prototype system which additionally offers a query and ordering facility per web browser and Internet.
