While on the go, searching on one's phone is becoming pervasive. This paper presents an innovative application for mobile phone users to facilitate their visual search experience. By taking advantage of smart phone functionalities such as multi-modal and multi-touch interactions, users can more conveniently formulate their search intent, and thus search performance can be significantly improved. The system, called JIGSAW (Joint search with ImaGe, Speech, And Words), represents one of the first attempts to create an interactive and multi-modal mobile visual search application. The key of JIGSAW is the composition of an exemplary image query generated from the raw speech via multi-touch user interaction, as well as the visual search based on the exemplary image. Through JIGSAW, users can formulate their search intent in a natural way like playing a jigsaw puzzle on the phone screen: 1) a user speaks a natural sentence as the query, 2) the speech is recognized and transferred to text which is further decomposed to keywords through entity extraction, 3) the user selects preferred exemplary images that can visually represent his/her intent and composes a query image via multi-touch, and 4) the composite image is then used as a visual query to search similar images. We have deployed JIGSAW on a real-world phone system, evaluated the performance on one million images, and demonstrated that it is an effective complement to existing mobile visual search applications.","PeriodicalId":318758,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 19th ACM international conference on Multimedia","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133740153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we present a location-aware system that helps technical directors in the broadcasting task, using a 3D model updated continuously with real-time location data retrieved from the scenario. They can indicate in run-time their interest in certain moving objects and the system is in charge of selecting the cameras that provide the kind of views required.","PeriodicalId":318758,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 19th ACM international conference on Multimedia","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133722654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary purpose of the proposed media sharing application is digital re-living of those events by the photographers and their families and friends. The most popular tools for achieving this today are still static slide-shows (SSS) which primarily focus on visual effects rather than understanding the semantics of the media assets being used, or allowing different viewers (e.g. friends, family, who have different relationships, interests, time availabilities, and familiarities) any control over the flow of the show. We present a novel system that generates an aesthetically appealing and semantically drivable audio-visual media show based on several reliving dimensions of events, people, locations, and time. We allow each viewer to interact with the default presentation to 'on-the-fly' redirect the flow of reliving as desired from their individual perspectives. Moreover, each reliving session is logged and can be shared with other people over a wide array of platforms and devices, allowing sharing experience to go beyond the sharing of the media assets themselves. From a detailed analysis of the logged sessions across different user categories, we have obtained many interesting findings on the reliving needs, behaviors and patterns, which in turn validate our design motivations and principles.","PeriodicalId":318758,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 19th ACM international conference on Multimedia","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115753711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Users can explore the 3D virtual environment and interact with the displays by accessing high resolution photographs and historical descriptions of the artefacts. This demo will showcase the experience on a 3D laptop with the use of active shutter LCD glasses to create an immersive experience. A key aspect of the demonstration is that it was developed using low-cost or freely available OTS tools wherever possible putting the creation of such digital exhibitions within reach of even modest budgets.","PeriodicalId":318758,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 19th ACM international conference on Multimedia","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123917547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed interface Galaxy Browser adopts the recent advances in near-duplicate detection and then synchronizes the detected near-duplicate information with comprehensive background knowledge derived from online external resources.

DASH is an emerging ISO/IEC MPEG and 3GPP standard for HTTP streaming. It aims to standardize formats enabling segmented progressive download by exploiting existing Internet infrastructure as such. Our implementation of these formats as described in this paper is based on the well-known VLC. Hence, it is fully integrated into the VLC structure and has been also submitted to the VLC development team for consideration in future releases of VLC. Therefore, it is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). The plugin provides a very flexible structure that could be easily extended with respect to different adaptation logics or profiles of the DASH standard. As a consequence, the plugin enables the integration of a variety of adaptation logics and comparison thereof, making it attractive for the research community.","PeriodicalId":318758,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 19th ACM international conference on Multimedia","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114713855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One particular instance of such \"wild videos\" is represented by unstructured presentation videos, which are tools nowadays employed in a large variety of systems for different purposes, spanning from distance or e-learning to generation of conference proceedings, from corporate talks to student presentations. We are interested in helping users efficiently and effectively access visual information, in particular technical information, and learn from such online multimedia sources.

According to the classification results, we apply simple rule-based methods to generate textual descriptions of video contents. Results are evaluated by conducting carefully designed user studies. We find that the state-of-the-art visual and audio concept classification, although far from perfect, is able to provide very useful clues indicating what is happening in the videos.
