The integrated management of multimedia information such as images, graphics, video, audio, and text, is of great interest in a lot of application fields. The major challenges in this non-trivial task are due to structural, syntactic and semantic heterogeneity of distributed multimedia data repositories. In this paper we present the design of a system, IDEM, based on an object-oriented data mod...

Efficient and relevant retrieval of any type of the data, especially multimedia objects, is based on indexing technique. Due to complexity of multimedia data, existing indexing techniques for multimedia objects suffer from irrelevant retrieval. Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) has already been successfully implemented for indexing text documents, which has reduced irrelevancy. The focus of thi...

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract With the growing number of digital multimedia libraries, the need to efficiently index, browse and retrieve multimedia information is increased. Text embedded in images and video frames can help to identify the image information (e.g. somebody's na...

Recent advances in hardware sophistication related to graphics display, audio and video devices made available a large number of multimedia and hypermedia applications. These multimedia applications need to store and retrieve the different forms of media like text, hypertext, graphics, still images, animations, audio and video. Dance is one of the important cultural forms of a nation and dance ...

Multimedia learning principle occurs when we create mental representations from combining text and relevant graphics into lessons. This article discusses the learning advantages that result from adding multimedia learning principle into instructions; and how to select graphics that support learning. There is a balance that instructional designers have to keep in mind when using multimedia princ...

This paper describes a multimedia, multilingual and multimodal research system called CIMWOS (Combined IMage and WOrd Spotting). CIMWOS incorporates an extensive set of multimedia technologies, integrating three major subsystems (text, speech, and image processing). It produces a rich collection of XML metadata annotations following the MPEG-7 standard. These XML annotations are further merged ...

As multimedia technology (interactive videodisc, CD-ROM, CD-I, etc.) becomes more accessible to teachers and learners of other languages, its potential as a tool to enhance listening skills becomes a practical option. Multimedia allows integration of text, graphics, audio, and motion video in a range of combinations. The result is that learners can now interact with textual, aural, and visual m...

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of multimedia-based education in improving medication adherence and self-care post-PCI patients. The method used this is a literature search based on several online databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online, Cambridge Core published from 2017-2021. results showed that education, including smartphone-based text messages, telephon...

When developing advanced intelligent user interfaces composing text, graphics , animation , hypermedia etc., the question of automatically designing the graphical layout of such multimedia presentations in an appropriate format plays a crucial role . This paper introduces the task, the functionality and the architecture of the constraint-based multimedia layout manager Lay Lab .

The main aim of this thesis was to take a closer look at visual attention allocation, cognitive load and learning outcome in learning from dynamic visualizations with accompanying verbal explanations. Instructional design guidelines derived from cognitive theories of learning with multimedia commonly recommend presenting spoken rather than written text in order to promote learning. Based on the...
