The evolution of technology has facilitated the rapid growth of the video Web, with ubiquitous broadband Internet access and mature streaming media protocols. Users can now easily contribute content from low-cost camera phones and consumer products. The media and entertainment industry has shifted its perspective, viewing these developments as opportunities to reach more viewers in diverse contexts rather than threats to established practices. The rise of IPTV and mobile video services provides unprecedented access to a growing number of broadcast channels and allows for the delivery of personalized video services. Portable media players enable users to carry this content with them, even in areas without network access. Video search engines empower users to utilize these resources for various applications, including entertainment, education, and communications. However, extracting information from video for retrieval is challenging, presenting opportunities for innovation. This book aims to describe the current state of video search engine technology and inform those with the necessary skills about opportunities to contribute to this evolving field. Today's Web search engines have significantly enhanced accessibility and value.
