Description: This state-of-the-art book explores new concepts, tools, and techniques for both visual interfaces to database systems and management of visual data. It provides intensive discussion of original research contributions and practical system design, implementation, and evaluation. The following topics are covered in detail: Video retrieval; Information visualization; Modeling and recognition; Image similarity retrieval and clustering; Spatio-temporal databases; Visual querying; Visual user interfaces. The book also includes invited lectures by recognized leaders in the fields of user interfaces and multimedia database systems. These are `hot' topics within the main themes of the book and are intended to lay the seeds for fruitful discussions on the future development of visual information management. The book comprises the proceedings of the Fifth Working Conference on Visual Database Systems (VDB5), held in Fukuoka, Japan, in May 2000, and sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing. Advances in Visual Information Management will be essential reading for computer scientists and engineers, database designers and practitioners, and researchers working in human-computer communication.
