1. A method of storing a video clip in a multi-dimensional content database, the method comprising: partitioning a multi-dimensional content database by a plurality of pivots, wherein each pivot is a center point around which corresponding vector signatures are organized and wherein each pivot is coupled to a plurality of leaf nodes; generating a multi-dimensional vector signature from pre-specified and measurable characteristics that are extracted from a region of interest in a frame of a video clip having multi-dimensional content and that exceed a pre-specified threshold, wherein the multi-dimensional vector signature includes a compare pivot component that supports traversal from a pivot selected from the plurality of pivots to a leaf node selected from a plurality of associated leaf nodes; storing data associated with the video clip at the selected leaf node of the multi-dimensional content database wherein the selected pivot is coupled to the plurality of associated leaf nodes including the selected leaf node; and accessing the data associated with the video clip utilizing the multi-dimensional vector signature to select a pivot by matching the compare pivot component to the selected pivot and having an address to the data stored in the selected leaf node of the multi-dimensional content database.

The method of claim 1 , wherein frames are selected using a descriptive parameter of the video clip including a sum of mean absolute difference (MAD) between frames and selecting the frames based on the descriptive parameter minima or maxima.
