Content Analysis and Processing

Multimedia content analysis tools used to derive higher-level semantics from low-level audio and video features and cover the state of the art in temporal video segmentation using unsupervised and supervised techniques. Content analysis has known an increasing use to deeply analyses and understands media content and media logic. Content analysis can involve any kind of analysis where communication content i.e. speech, music, 3D written text images is categorized and classified.

Multimedia Search and Retrieval

With the continuing explosion of multimedia information Multimedia Information Retrieval (MMIR or MIR) is a research discipline of computer science that aims at extracting semantic information from multimedia data sources like audio, image and video and indirectly perceivable sources such as text, bio signals. Multimedia expected Query types and Applications are Metadata-based quires, Annotation-based quires, Queries based on data patterns or features, Query by example, Text Document Information Retrieval (Google search).

Mobile and Location-Based Media

Location based multimedia big data holds greatest potential for fundamentally changing how information is fast and effectively accessed and presented; how knowledge is sufficiently learned and extracted; and how business s practiced. With a huge volume of Internet based, mobile and sensor-generated multimedia data reaching to Exabyte scale, how to develop advanced data mining/information retrieval techniques and systems is becoming more and more important. Many believe location based Multimedia search, indexing and retrieval offers the scholars from different disciplines a unique opportunity to design, implement and test methodical approaches and (or) intelligent systems at many different levels using many different ways. In addition to the underlying technologies mobile content delivery and streaming, media geo-tagging, multimedia security and forensics can be applied to a wide range of novel applications such as market intelligence, e-commerce and urban planning.

Multimedia Systems and Applications

A Multimedia System is a system capable of processing multimedia data and applications. Multimedia conferences deals with Multimedia information encoding and data interchange formats such as Authentication and watermarking, Digital video and audio networking and communication like Audio and Video Quality Assessment Storage models and structures, Methodologies, paradigms, tools, and software architectures. A Multimedia Application is an Application which uses a collection of multiple media sources e.g. text, graphics, images, sound/audio, animation and/or video.

Multimedia Signal Processing

Multimedia Signal Processing is a comprehensive and accessible text to the theory and applications of digital signal processing (DSP).  The applications of DSP are pervasive and include Image processing video processing, image/video compression, pattern recognition. Generally Multimedia signal processing is used in developing algorithms and techniques for representation, dissemination, processing, understanding, storage, and retrieval of multimedia data, such as image enhancement, video, graphics, speech, audio, video, animation and text. 

Music, Speech and Audio Processing in Multimedia

Speech is inarguably the most preferred and natural way of communication for humans. Speech is transmitted from a speaker to a listener in the form of an acoustic signal. The signal carries abundant information, including the linguistic content, the speaker’s voice characteristic, health and emotional conditions, and the ambient environment. Speech signals have many distinctive features that are not found in other signals from the natural world. Musical signal processing has a wide range of applications including; digital compression and coding of music for efficient storage and transmission on mobile phones and portable music players, modeling and reproduction of the acoustics of music instruments and music halls, digital music synthesizers, digital audio editors, digital audio mixers, spatial temporal sound effects for home entertainment and cinemas, music content classification and indexing and music search engines for Internet

Multimedia Communications

With the tremendous expansion of digital media, users are now overwhelmed by huge amounts of Multimedia information. "Multimedia conferences" deals with new challenges for storing, analyzing, organizing, searching such Multimedia content. New technologies are needed to solve these challenges, efficiently process each media type, combine information extracted from various sources, design advanced and intelligent applications that better serve the needs of single users and communities. Multimedia communication deals with MPEG standards, Video/audio broadcasting and also security issues. 

Ubiquitous Multimedia Computing

Multimedia computing is a study on presentation, integration and computation of various media using computing techniques. It encompasses theory and application in multimedia interaction. Multimedia computing also deals with mobile computing i.e. network traffic engineering, mobile software architectures, how the video/audio stream over the network protocols.

Multimedia Networking

In recent years, there has been an explosive growth of new applications on the Internet like streaming video, IP telephony, teleconferencing, interactive games, virtual world, distance learning, and so on. Those multimedia networking applications are referred as continuous-media applications and require services different from those for traditional elastic applications like e-mail, Web, remote login, social multimedia networking and seamless multimedia mobility.

Advances in Multimedia Technology

Multimedia technology was a powerful tool for companies engaging in e-commerce. The advances in multimedia technology are Mobile multimedia computing, multimedia web and implementation of multimedia sensor networks etc.
