Project Name: MultimediaN/N5
Abbreviation: MultimediaN Start date:
April 1, 2004 End date:
December 31, 2009 Project Description:
A staggering amount of digital data goes around in the world, as a
feed for digital experiences, as the corpus of our collective
knowledge, and as a basis for business processing. Increasingly, the
digital data stream is composed of multimedia data items, i.e. a
combination of pictorial, auditory, and linguistic data.
With sufficient bandwidth and computing power at commodity prices, it
is obvious that users prefer a multimedia style of information
exchange and interaction, including pictures, video, and sound. The
emphasis in information handling is shifting from categorical and
numerical information to information in multimedia form: Multimedia
is
the message.
In this dynamic, quickly changing world, the objectives of
MultimediaN
are:
- To build an outstanding science core and a virtual multimedia
lab
with a co-ordinated and steerable research plan with strong industry
participation;
- To transfer fundamental and applied science and know-how to the
ICT-world; to articulate questions into new research challenges; to
demonstrate their use in pilot applications;
- To reinforce the skill- and innovation-transfer between
multimedia
research and the market by generating a transparant view on
technology
by means of demonstrators.
Project Funding
MultimediaN is a project funded under the bsik-scheme.
Consortium
Research groups from: UvA, CWI, TUDelft, TNO, UTwente/CTIT,
Telematics Institute, Philips, and IBM, supplemented with over
twenty high tech industrial partners, content institutions, and
first user groups, among which Van Dale Lexicografie and Nedelands
Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid (national
broadcast archive).
HMI-themes in MultimediaN
HMI researchers work on spoken document retrieval and semantic
multimedia access.
Results for HMI themes
