Abstract

The.rapid.advances.in.multimedia.capture,.storage.and.communication.technologies.and.capabilities. have.ushered.an.era.of.unprecedented.growth.of.digital.media.content,.in.audio,.visual,.and.synthetic. forms,.and.both.individually.and.commercially.produced...How.to.manage.these.data.to.make.them. more.accessible.and.searchable.to.users.is.a.key.challenge.in.current.multimedia.computing.research.. In.this.chapter,.the.authors.discuss.the.problems.and.challenges.in.multimedia.data.management,.and. review.the.state.of.the.art.in.data.structures.and.algorithms.for.multimedia.indexing,.media.feature.space. management.and.organization,.and.applications.of.these.techniques.in.multimedia.data.management..
