This tutorial will focus on technical analysis and interaction techniques formulated from the perspective of key human factors in a user-centered approach to developing multimedia systems. The tutorial will take a holistic view on the research issues ...

In this tutorial we present immersive future media technologies ranging from 3D video to sensory experiences. The former targets stereo and multi-view video technologies whereas the latter aims at stimulating other senses than vision or audition ...

This workshop aims at tackling the novel challenging scenarios in pervasive video analysis which require not only to address specific problems (e.g., tracking, recognition) on a single view, but to deal with a set of distributed observations, eventually ...

The advancement of novel capabilities for video understanding does increase the cross-fertilization between multiple computer vision and pattern recognition research topics. ARTEMIS2010 provides the forum for discussing a holistic view on the ...

Research on 3D video processing has gained a tremendous amount of momentum due to advances in video communications, broadcasting and entertainment technology (e.g., animation blockbusters like Avatar and Up). There is an increasing need for reliable ...

The MTDL 2010 workshop in its second edition aims to continue in the contribution and evaluation of the impact of multimedia technologies to e-Learning. This workshop is held in conjunction with the ACM Multimedia 2010 Conference in Firenze (Italy). As ...

3D media has emerged rapidly as a new type of content within the multimedia domain. The recent acceleration of 3D content production, witnessed across all fields up to user-generated content, is causing a huge amount of traffic and data stored and ...

This panel will enable the participants to understand key concepts, state-of-the-art techniques, and open issues in content analysis and understanding that make use of non-conventional methods. As such we will cover aspects such as (1) eye gaze for ...

In the paper we present a prototype of video-based storytelling that is able to generate multiple story variants from a baseline video. The video content for the system is generated by an adaptation of forefront video summarisation techniques that ...

Can we have a universal detector that could recognize unseen objects with no training exemplars available? Such a detector is so desirable, as there are hundreds of thousands of object concepts in human vocabulary but few available labeled image ...

This thesis aims to analyze, model, and develop a framework for next-generation multimedia authoring tools targeted to end-users. In particular, I concentrate on the combination of automatic and manual processes for the realization of such framework. My ...

We present an overview of our work to date on a sketch based retrieval of image and video. We present a fast technique for extracting motion trajectories from videos and a Viterbi matching approach for retrieving video clips using free-hand sketched ...

Skin tones, portraits in particular, are of critical importance in photography and video, but a number of factors, such as pigmentation irregularities (e.g., moles, freckles), irritation, roughness, or wrinkles can reduce their appeal. Moreover, such "...

Mobile devices are becoming ubiquitous multimedia computing platforms. However, due to limited computational power on these devices, a good mobile application requires far more considerations in algorithm design and optimization than for desktop ...

Tracking and identifying persons in videos are important building blocks in many applications. For browsing of multimedia data or interactive investigation of surveillance footage it is not even necessary to uniquely identify a person. Rather it often ...

In this technical demonstration, we present MediaTable, our interactive multimedia collection search and categorization tool. MediaTable allows users to search through, and categorize a multimedia collection with ease by employing several familiar ...

In this demo, we present a video-enabled enterprise search platform (vESP), an application prototype that enhance a widely deployed commercial enterprise search engine with video streaming. The idea is that for example in a large enterprise, like ...
