The CPF for a Special Session on Event-Based Multimedia Indexing (EBMI) organised during the 9th International Workshop on Content-based Multimedia Indexing (CBMI 2011), 13-15 June 2011, Madrid, Spain available here.
With the rapid progress of hardware technology and the popularity of related multimedia devices, the quantity of multimedia data has surged into an unprecedented level. These data reside on local personal computers or global large scale repositories, and large amounts of them are daily consumed within the framework of networked media. For manipulating this information, sophisticated algorithms are needed for supporting the automatic indexing of multimedia. However, this is to some extent still beyond the capabilities of the current state-of-the-art in multimedia management. An important reason for this deficiency is that machines typically index multimedia content on the basis of low-level features, or at best on the basis of concepts corresponding to broad media classes or tangible objects. In contrast to this, there has recently been strong argumentation in favour of the conception that humans remember real life using past experience structured in events. For this reason, the development of methods that approximate the human perception of events and support the automatic or semi-automatic event-based indexing of multimedia content recently emerged as a very promising research direction.
Scope and topics of the Special Session
The special session welcomes high-quality papers describing original research in all areas related to the event-based indexing of multimedia, including:
Detection of events in multimedia content
Indexing structures and multimedia event models
Interactive tools for event-based media organization
Event-based search and retrieval
Event-based applications
The submission to this special session is open to all potential authors. Submitted papers must follow the regular CBMI 2011 paper submission guidelines, and will go through the same review procedure as regular papers.
Important dates
