N2 - Multimedia data types, such as image and video, are structurally more complex than traditional data types. We view an image as a compound object containing many sub-objects. Each sub-object corresponds to image regions that are visually and semantically meaningful (e.g., car, man, etc.). In this paper, we first present a framework for modeling images and videos using object-based hierarchical structures. The proposed structure supports image retrieval at both whole-image and object levels. We show how to extend the object-based image modeling framework to video retrieval at object, frame, action, and composite action levels. The advantages of our approach are as follows: (1) hierarchical model allows translation of video retrieval queries to image retrieval queries with additional temporal relationships; (2) concept definitions release users from learning the system and implementation details and the language syntax; and (3) IFQ, a visual query interface, specifically designed for object-based image retrieval is extended for video retrieval query interfaces.
