MediaEval is a benchmarking initiative for multimedia access and retrieval. MediaEval tasks are based on real-world use cases arising in human social contexts and in networked multimedia communities.
A special session entitled "Automatic Tagging and Geo-Tagging in Video Collections and Communities" with papers related to MediaEval tasks will take place at the 2011 ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (April 17-20 in Trento, Italy).
ELSEVIER Innovation Podcast series: Dr. Mark Sanderson, University of Sheffield, UK, is talking about the ended "Tripod" Project (global gps camera project).
The MediaEval benchmarking initiative offers tasks in multimedia access and retrieval including tagging, geo-tagging, affect detection, linking and passage retrieval. Archival and creative commons Internet video datasets are provided. MediaEval 2010 follows VideoCLEF 2008-2009 under sponsorship of PetaMedia, an EU Network of Excellence.
