Abstract :
Recently, two approaches investigated indexing and retrieving video data. One approach utilized the visual features, and the other approach exploited the spatiotemporal features. In this paper, we present a new Visual-Spatio-Temporal model (VST model), to represent videos. The visual features and the spatio-temporal features of video objects are integrated and represented uniformally by a topological model. As a result, rich set of new relationships are defined to support and simplify the formulation of more semantical queries. The expressiveness of the VST video model is validated by some query examples
