Abstract

Omni-Directional Video (ODV), which is recorded using an omni-directional camera, has become widely used because of recent advancements in digital video technologies and photographic equipment. In ODV, as multiple subjects are recorded by the camera, keyword annotation is practically impossible. Furthermore, the basic concepts of indexing and retrieval of traditional video databases, such as frame and shot, are not applicable to ODV data. Therefore, the properties of ODV must be discovered and basic concepts must be defined to find out effective ways of indexing and retrieving such video data. We developed a new data model that provides operations for the composition, searching, navigation, and playback of ODV data based on video algebra and spatial properties.
