Since Edison Labs developed the first video camera (the Kinetograph), society has embraced video cameras through home movies, entertainment, education and security. From the use of cameras to create home movies, to our daily use of television, to blockbuster films created purely for entertainment value, video plays an important role in our every day life. Just two decades ago, we can easily remember having only a few television channels, whereas today we have access to hundreds of stations from around the world. This glut of video information introduces unique problems and research opportunities in the manipulation, management, indexing, browsing and searching of the volumes of video data we have at our finger tips.  However, unlike its textual counterpart since the advent of hypertext and the World Wide Web, there is little interactivity in video and it remains a static medium from the viewer standpoint.  This is to say we watch video; we do not interact with video! The core objective of this research program is to develop systems to enable radical changes in the new generations of computer based television (such as HDTV and digital television) so that it becomes an interactive medium.  Through continuing research into computational video techniques and the novel application of hyper-media methodologies to video data it is expected that the research results will help to make video become as ubiquitous and easy to access an information source as text and the World Wide Web is today.  This research represents the beginning of a new modality through which we will experience video. It will facilitate changing users from simply being static observers of video on a television set or monitor to being a dynamic and interactive part of a system where input and feedback is applied to adapt the system to meet current user whims.

自从爱迪生实验室开发出第一台摄像机（Kinetograph）以来，社会已经通过家庭电影，娱乐，教育和安全接受了摄像机。从使用相机制作家庭电影，到我们日常使用的电视，再到纯粹为娱乐价值而制作的大片，视频在我们的日常生活中扮演着重要的角色。就在20年前，我们很容易记得只有几个电视频道，而今天我们可以访问来自世界各地的数百个电台。大量的视频信息给我们对大量视频数据的操作、管理、索引、浏览和搜索带来了独特的问题和研究机会。然而，与超文本和万维网出现以来的文本对应物不同，视频中几乎没有交互性，从观众的角度来看，它仍然是一种静态的媒体。我们不与视频互动！该研究项目的核心目标是开发系统，使新一代基于计算机的电视发生根本性变化通过对计算视频技术的不断研究和超视频技术的新应用，媒体的方法，以视频数据，预计研究成果将有助于使视频成为无处不在，易于访问的信息源，因为文本和万维网网络就是今天。这项研究代表了一种新模式的开始，我们将通过这种模式体验视频。它将有助于改变用户从简单的电视机或监视器上的视频的静态观察者成为系统的动态和交互的一部分，其中应用输入和反馈来调整系统以满足当前用户的突发奇想。
