| Video data management and information retrieval are very important areas of
research in computer technology. Plenty of research is being done in these fields at
present. These two areas are changing our lifestyles because together they cover
creation, maintenance, accessing, and retrieval of video, audio, speech, and text data
and information for video display. But still lots of important issues in these areas remain
unresolved and further research is needed to be done for better techniques and applications.
The primary objective of the book is to combine these two related areas of research
together and provide an up-to-date account of the work being done. We addressed
research issues in those fields where some progress has already been made.
Also, we encouraged researchers, academics, and industrial technologists to provide
new and brilliant ideas on these fields that could be pursued for further research.
The audience for this book would be researchers who are working in these two
fields. Also researchers from other areas who could start-up in these fields could find
the book useful. It could be a reference guide for researchers from other related areas as
well. Reading this book can benefit undergraduate and post-graduate students who are
interested in multimedia and video technology. |

 Layers of the Earth (The Restless Earth)The Earth is made of layers, each with its own unique characteristics and processes that make it a vital part of the planet. The solid inner core, for example, is the farthest layer from the planet's surface, yet it provides much of the heat needed to fuel dramatic surface phenomena such as volcanoes and earthquakes. Likewise, the outer core... |  | Biology: The Dynamic Science
