SEMEDIA Overview
Search Environments for Media
SEMEDIA started in January 2007, and the overall objective is to develop a collection of audiovisual search tools that are heavily user driven, preserve metadata along the chain, and are generic enough to be applicable to different fields (broadcasting production, cinema postproduction, social web).
Impact
The overall objective of SEMEDIA is to create new methods, environments and widely usable tools for media labelling, searching and retrieval from very large collections of heterogeneous data, building on and extending research in media technologies, web semantics, AI, content-based IR and interface design.
The results will be expressed as innovations in the form of:
- • retrieval and data-mining models for multimedia objects;
- • plug and play modular search tools to sit on a wide range of media management platforms;
- • query interfaces that integrate secure access and rights management; and
- • usage based annotation and feedback models for multimedia objects
SEMEDIA aims to develop a collection of audiovisual search tools that are heavily user driven, preserve metadata along the chain, and are generic enough to be applicable to different fields (broadcasting production, cinema postproduction, and social web).
