ABSTRACT:
A user may input a motion as a query condition to a motion picture database to retrieve one or more motion picture segments (i.e., motion picture scenes) in which an object moves with a matching motion. A motion information database is built of motion vector sequences extracted from stored motion pictures. A motion is inputted as a query by moving a pointing device, such as a mouse, in a desired motion sequence, rather than as a query expressed in words or as a formula. The inputted motion sequence of the pointing device is converted to a motion vector sequence and compared with stored motion vector sequences to retrieve one or more scenes in which an object moves with a matching motion.
