Provided is an apparatus and method for comparing a protein structure, which can search a protein similar to an inquiry protein in a 3D protein database in real time by describing a feature of a protein structure by using a three-dimensional (3D) relative directional angle (RDA) and a Fourier descriptor. The apparatus includes: a 3D RDA coder configured to code a 3D RDA of a target protein data or an inquiry protein data inputted from the outside; a Fourier transformer configured to obtain Fourier coefficients by Fourier transforming 3D RDA coding values coded by the 3D RDA coder; a comparator configured to compare the obtained Fourier coefficient of the target protein data with the obtained Fourier coefficient of the inquiry protein data; and a data generator configured to output protein data in order from high similarity to low similarity according to the comparison result of the comparator.

A method for constructing a database having digital video data information representing a plurality of video sequence is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: a) partitioning each image frame of each video sequence into L number of sub images; b) generating L number of edge histograms for each image frame; c) normalizing the edge histogram bins to thereby generate M number of normalized edge histogram bins; d) calculating M representative edge histogram bins in order to generate L number of representative edge histograms based on the normalized edge histogram bins; and e) non-linearly quantizing the representative edge histogram bins to generate M number of quantization index values for the each representative edge histogram, to be stored in the database.
