 INTRODUCTION

A Multimedia database (MMDB) is a collection of related

for multimedia data. The multimedia data include one or
more primary media data types such as text, images, graphic
objects (including drawings, sketches and illustrations)
animation sequences, audio and video.
 INTRODUCTION

A Multimedia Database Management System (MMDBMS)

is a framework that manages different types of data
potentially represented in a wide diversity of formats on a
wide array of media sources. It provides support for
multimedia data types, and facilitate for

• creation
• storage
• access
• query
• control of a multimedia database
 EVOLUTION OF MULTIMEDIA DATABASE

Since relational and object oriented databases comprise the basic

requirements of any database, but to store multimedia data -
MMDB’s were evolved, that includes:

• long bit and byte strings

• Binary Large Objects (BLOBs)
• paths of images where the actual image is stored
• content retrieval capabilities
 TYPES OF MULTIMEDIA DATABASE

There are numerous different types of multimedia databases, including:

• The Authentication Multimedia Database also known as a Verification

Multimedia Database (i.e. retina scanning)

• The Identification Multimedia Database, is a data comparison of one-to-many

(i.e. passwords and personal identification numbers)

• The Biometrics Multimedia Database, which specializes in automatic human

verification based on the algorithms of their behavioral or physiological profile.
 DOMAIN TYPES OF MULTIMEDIA DATA

DBMS typically provide three different kinds of domain for multimedia data :

1. Large Object are a set of data types that are designed to hold large amounts
of data.
 Binary Large Object (BLOB) - It is a collection of binary data stored as a single
entity in a DMS
 Character large Objects (CLOB) - are unstructured sequence of characters

2. File references – instead of holding the data, a file reference contains a link to the data

3. Genuine Multimedia data types

 CONTENTS OF MULTIMEDIA DATABASE

A Multimedia Database (MMDB) hosts one or more multimedia data types

(i.e. text, images, graphic objects, audio, video, animation sequences).

These data types are broadly categorized into three classes:

• Static media (time-independent: image and graphic object)

• Dynamic media (time-dependent: audio, video and animation)
• Dimensional media (3D game and computer aided drafting programs)
COMPARISON OF MULTIMEDIA DATATYPES

Medium Elements Time-dependence

Graphic Vectors, regions No
Image Pixels No
Audio Sound, Volume Yes
Video Raster images, graphics Yes
 CONTENTS OF MULTIMEDIA DATABASE

Additionally, a Multimedia Database (MMDB) needs to manage additional

information :

• Media data : the actual data representing an object.

• Media format data : information about the format of the media data after it goes through the
acquisition, processing, and encoding phases.

• Media keyword data : the keyword descriptions, usually relating to the generation of the media
data.

• Media feature data : content dependent data such as contain information about the distribution
of colours, the kinds of textures and the different shapes present in an image.
 REQUIREMENTS OF MULTIMEDIA DATABASES

• Integration
Data items do not need to be duplicated for different programs invocations

• Data independence
Separate the database and the management from the application programs

• Concurrency control
Allows concurrent transactions

• Persistence
Data objects can be saved and re-used by different transactions and
program invocations
 REQUIREMENTS OF MULTIMEDIA DATABASES

• Privacy
Access and authorization control

• Integrity control
Ensures database consistency between transactions

• Recovery
Failures of transactions should not affect the persistent data storage

• Query support
Allows easy querying of multimedia data
REQUIREMENTS OF MULTIMEDIA DATABASES

 In addition, an MM-DBMS should have:

Þ query support

Þ storage support

Þ presentation and delivery support

REQUIREMENTS OF MULTIMEDIA DATABASES

The requirements are divided into the following broad categories:

 Traditional DBMS capabilities

 Huge capacity storage management

 Information retrieval capabilities

 Media integration, composition, and presentation

 Multimedia query support

 Multimedia interface and interactivity

 Performance
 MULTIMEDIA DATABASE ARCHITECTURE

Based on Principle of Autonomy

• Each media type is organized in a media-specific

manner suitable for that media type

• Need to compute joins across different data

structures

• Relatively fast query processing due to

specialized structures

• The only choice for legacy data banks

 MULTIMEDIA DATABASE ARCHITECTURE

Based on Principle of Uniformity –

• A single abstract structure to index all media

types

• Abstract out the common part of different

media types (difficult) - metadata

• One structure - easy implementation

• Annotations for different media types

 ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

• Multimedia data consists of a variety of media formats or file representations

including BMP, PPT, JPEG, MPEG, AVI, WAV, DOC, GIF, PNG, etc. Because
of restrictions on the conversion from one format to the other, the use of the data
in a specific format has been limited as well.

• Also, the data size of multimedia is large such as video; therefore, multimedia
data often require a large storage.

• Multimedia database consume a lot of processing time, as well as bandwidth.

 ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

• Different multimedia data types such as video, audio, and animation

sequences have temporal requirements that have implications on their storage,
manipulation and presentation.

• Multimedia data structures takes much time in retrieval than standard

database structures

• Multimedia data structures do not easily lend themselves to content-based

searching
