[Nettime-nl] Browsing large image- and video collections


Browsing large image- and video collections

When:  Wednesday, 16 May, 16:00-18:00 o'clock
Where:  room 0.13, Turfdraagsterpad 9

Speaker:  Marcel Worring, Intelligent Systems Lab Amsterdam, UvA
(host:  Yuri Engelhardt)

Abstract:
Digital image- and video collections are growing rapidly.  Accesing
such collections is still cumbersome as there is a large gap between
the data and the semantic interpretation a user has of the data.  We
study methods that limit the gap using computer vision and machine
learning.  In realistic settings, however, this is never sufficient
and finding visual information requires a substantial
amount of interaction with the user.  We will present a number of
innovative interfaces, using advanced visualization, which help the
user in locating the images of interest.  An elaborate evaluation of
their use will be presented.
