Abstract :
Image technologies provide critical components for achieving various Web-based multimedia applications. We identify key technical challenges in today´s image/video applications on the WWW. We present two prototype systems, a video search engine (WebSEEk) and a compressed video editor (WebClip), to demonstrate technical challenges and viable solutions. We also discuss major issues in developing next-generation, scalable solutions for large-scale, distributed on-line environments
