Introduction

Multimedia refers to the representation of information in varied forms. Two
broad categories of multimedia information are prevalent. These are (i)
discrete media and (ii) continuous media. Information becomes multimedia
information if and only if it contains at least a continuous media. The
most common and enormous continuous media is the video. A lot of
time-complex computing facility is required for processing video contents
given its variety and enormity of underlying data. Video content
classification is an important task in the computer vision community as far
as intelligent analysis of video content is concerned. Typical applications
include video content mining, video indexing (for media industry), video
surveillance and defense applications to name a few.
