Abstract
Abstract–Interactive multimedia systems represent a key technology rapidly evolving from marketing hype and research prototypes to commercial deployments. Supporting truly interactive multimedia services requires providing personalized, dedicated channels or sessions for each user. For these services, the user has complete control over the session and has the freedom to explore the depth of both live and stored programming as maintained by future information providers. Development of these interactive multimedia services requires solving a diverse set of technical problems, many of which are tractable in isolation; however, the integration of these many technologies to achieve an end-to-end solution has proven to be a significant obstacle to ubiquitous service. This paper presents a survey of the technological considerations for the design of a large scale distributed interactive multimedia system. The paper identifies the core problems and examines approaches proposed and implemented for their solution. Keywords: Video-on-demand, interactive multimedia services, end-to-end system design.

This research addresses four areas of content-based video management, including time codes, image frames, pixels, and frames, which are based on pixels rather than perceived content.
Image processing on compressed data for large video databases
205 Citations1993Farshid Arman, Arding Hsu +1 more
A novel approach to processing encoded video sequences prior to decoding by analyzing the DCT coefficients, regions of interest may be isolated prior to decompression, increasing efficiency of any subsequent image processing steps, such as edge detection.
Computer Networks and ISDN SystemsSystem architecture for a large scale video on demand service
162 Citations1991W.D. Sincoskie
A solution to the database access problem is presented which could be implemented with technology available in no more than 10 years and is argued that the incremental communications cost is small, as long as one assumes that there is already a network with sufficient bandwidth to the customer.
