A method is disclosed for representing a sequence of images constituting a moving image by processing signals corresponding to the image. An object appearing in one image is identified in the sequence in a first perspective view, and the same object appearing in another image is identified in the sequence in a second perspective view. A view descriptor of the outline of the object in the first perspective view is derived and at least one additional view descriptor of the outline of the object in another perspective view is also derived. The two or more view descriptors are associated to form a descriptor which is a single indexable entity for the sequence of images.
