With the development of high-speed wireless LAN, use multimedia-type digital contents is increasing significantly even in smart home environment. Therefore, it very important to efficiently process and manage content form multimedia. In order effectively multimedia LAN environment a home, server higher than PC level required. There also need for support system that can exchange between clients ...

The large increase in multimedia data volume requires the development of effective solutions for visual exploration of multimedia databases. After reviewing the visualization process involved, we emphasis the need of data structuration. The main objective of this thesis is to propose and study clustering and classification of multimedia database for their visual exploration. We begin with a sta...

Modern developments in digital media technologies has made transmitting and storing large amounts of multi/rich media data (e.g. text, images, music, video and their combination) more feasible and affordable than ever before. However, the state of the art techniques to process, mining and manage those rich media are still in their infancy. Advances developments in multimedia acquisition and sto...

In this paper we illustrate several aspects of art databases, such as: the spread of the multimedia art images; the main characteristics of art images; main art images search models; unique characteristics for art image retrieval; the importance of the sensory and semantic gaps. In addition, we present several interesting features of an art image database, such as: image indexing; feature extra...

| The availability of low-cost hardware is enabling the development of wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs), i.e., networks of resource-constrained wireless devices that can retrieve multimedia content such as video and audio streams, still images, and scalar sensor data from the environment. In this paper, ongoing research on prototypes of multimedia sensors and their integration into t...

The prevalence of multimedia technology has influenced modern society in many ways. Technological and economic feasibility have enabled the application of multimedia to physical spaces, where media such as audio, visual and interactive content take on spatial significance.(McCollough 2005, pp. 154-165) This has spurred multidisciplinary ventures in architecture that explore the architectonic po...

In today’s Internet, multimedia traffic accounts for the largest share of all traffic, highlighted by its volume, variety, multicast nature, and QoS constraints. Downstream towards consumers, multimedia traffic may traverse through middleboxes, undergoing additional data processing imposed by content providers and/or distributors. With the advent of Network Function Virtualization (NFV), middle...

The processing and encryption of multimedia content are generally considered sequential and independent operations. In certain multimedia content processing scenarios, it is however, desirable to carry out processing directly on encrypted signals. The field of secure signal processing poses significant challenges for both signal processing and cryptography research; only few ready to go fully i...

Over the past few decades, rapid changes in information technology have drastically changed the functions and activities of multimedia. Data mining has become more popular for extracting knowledge from multimedia data sets such as audio, video, speech, text, web, image and a combination of several types of these data sets. These are increasingly available and are semi-structured data or unstruc...

A multimedia planetarium show, “Gray Matters: The Brain Movie,” was created to teach fundamental scientific concepts about the human brain. During the show, the planetarium dome represents a giant brain enclosing the audience. Audience members play the role of neurons in various simulations and representations of brain function. This leads to new ways of thinking about audience interactivity in...
