Media monitoring and multimodal analysis for time critical decisions
DIRECT-INFO aimed to create a basic system for semi-automatic extraction of consistent and meaningful semantic information from multimedia content and was characterized by:
- ability to monitor and analyze audio, image, video and audio-visual information across media channels including radio, TV and the Internet;
- applicability to numerous industries (also beyond the media-information market);
- non-intrusive solution allowing instant capture of information;
- access to information integrated across channels and markets; Comprehensive end-user access to global information.
THE PROJECT
DIRECT-INFO research activities were largely innovative in the areas of:
- semantic correlation &fusion of multi-modal content analysis;
- identification of semantic objects within audio/video contents;
- multi-modal event modeling for video segmentation.
