We provide an integrated ontological framework offering coverage for deep semantic content, including ontological representation of multimedia based on the MPEG-7 standard. We link the deep semantic level with the media-specific semantic level to operationalize multimedia information. Through the link between multimedia representation and the semantics of specific domains we approach the Semant...

Reference multimedia corpora for use in automated indexing algorithms require lots of manual work. The Camomile project advocates the joint progress of automated annotation methods and tools for improving the benchmark resources. This paper shows some work in progress in interactive visualization of annotations, and perspectives in harnessing the collaboration between manual annotators, algorit...

this study compared the effects of two annotation modalities on the reading comprehension of iranian intermediate level efl learners. the two experimental groups under study received treatment on 10 academic l2 reading passages under one of two conditions: one group received treatment on key words in the reading passages through a multimedia environment providing textual annotations. the second...

A multimedia system for semi-automated image annotation, Show&Tell combines advances in speech recognition, natural language processing, and image understanding. Show&Tell differs from map annotation systems and has tremendous implications for situations where visual data must be coreferenced with text descriptions, such as medical image annotation and consumer photo annotation. S how&Tell take...

Applications that use annotated multimedia assets need to be able to process all the annotations about a specific media asset. At first sight, this seems almost trivial, but annotations are needed for different levels of description, these need to be related to each other in the appropriate way and, in particular on the Semantic Web, annotations may not all be stored in the same place. We disti...

Auto face annotation is playing an important role in many real-world knowledge management systems and multimedia information. Auto face annotation is important and beneficial to many real world application. Face annotation related face detection and recognition recently research interests in mining weakly-labeled images on the interest to resolve research challenge in computer vision and image ...

In this paper, we present a personalized multimedia content delivery system dealing with both user preferences and terminal/network capabilities. In order to ease interoperability with third-party applications, content annotation, user preferences handling and terminal/network capabilities description are managed by MPEG–7 and MPEG–21 standards. Offline content adaptation and annotation tools a...

High level metadata provides a way to manage, organize and retrieve multimedia data based on the actual content using content descriptions. The MPEG-7 Semantic Description Scheme provides tools for storing expressive and interpretable high level metadata. As it is currently impossible for computers to create high level metadata autonomously, users have to create the annotations manually. Genera...

This paper presents a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) prototype tool called ACTS (Annotation Collaboration Tool via SMIL – Synchronized Multimedia Integrated Language), which was designed to meet the user requirements of a distributed, collaborative team performing remote analysis of robotic welds. Based on open standards such as W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) SMIL, ACTS ...
