Multimedia Information Retrieval
Up one level
The explosion of multimedia content in databases, broadcasts, streaming media, etc. has generated new requirements for more effective access to these global information repositories.
Content extraction, indexing, and retrieval of multimedia data continues to be one of the most challenging and fastest-growing research areas. A consequence of the growing consumer demand for multimedia information is that sophisticated technology is needed for representing, modeling, indexing, and retrieving multimedia data. In particular, we need robust techniques to index/retrieve and compress multimedia information, new scalable browsing algorithms allowing access to very large multimedia databases, and semantic visual interfaces integrating the above components into unified multimedia browsing and retrieval systems.
For multimedia retrieval, the combination of multiple integrated media types increases the performance of of the system. Available content analysis and retrieval techniques tailored to a specific media are therefore not entirely adequate. Clearly, Multimedia Information Retrieval is a very broad area covering both structural issues (e.g. framework, storage, networking, client-server models) and intelligent content analysis and retrieval. These all need to be integrated into a seamless whole which involves expertise from a wide variety of fields.
The aim of this section is to keep updated information regarding the research issues and challenges, pointers to important research groups in the area, announcements of events, reports on events, bibliography, etc. We are open to ideas and suggestions and we hope to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from the multimedia information retrieval community in which they can express their ideas and challenges.
