It is possible to define fuzzy 3D extensions of Allen's relations as well as arbitrary new relations using our method.

Interestingly, so far little attention has been spent on observing and exploiting the usage of media, such as when was a photo edited and how, for which purposes has it been used, or whom was it given to. One reason is the lack of proper means to store this information together with the single photo. In this paper we give examples of exploiting photo usage metadata. We identify different kinds of usage metadata and derive a conceptual metadata usage model from this. Finally we transform this model into an extension of the XMP metadata standard.","PeriodicalId":82053,"journal":{"name":"MS","volume":"6 1","pages":"56-59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87502432","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}

This includes the ability to access huge datasets, the ability to quickly update software, and the ability to let people around the world collaborate seamlessly. Multimedia learning techniques have the potential to make unstructured multimedia data accessible, reusable, searchable, and manageable. We present two different web-based collaborative projects: Cantillion, and the Orchive. Cantillion enables ethnomusicology scholars to listen and view data relating to chants from a variety of traditions, letting them view and interact with various pitch contour representations of the chant. The Orchive is a project to digitize over 20,000 hours of Orcinus orca (killer whale) vocalizations, recorded over a period of approximately 35 years, and provide tools to assist their study. The developed tools utilize ideas and techniques that are similar to the ones used in general multimedia domains such as sports video or news. However, their niche nature has presented us with special challenges as well as opportunities. Unlike more traditional domains where there are clearly defined objectives one of the biggest challenges has been the desire to support researchers to formulate questions and problems related to the data even when there is no clearly defined objective.","PeriodicalId":82053,"journal":{"name":"MS","volume":"9 1","pages":"9-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84803050","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}

Pun","doi":"10.1145/1460676.1460684","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/1460676.1460684","url":null,"abstract":"In this paper, we propose an approach for affective ranking of movie scenes based on the emotions that are actually felt by spectators. Such a ranking can be used for characterizing the affective, or emotional, content of video clips. The ranking can for instance help determine which video clip from a database elicits, for a given user, the most joy. This in turn will permit video indexing and retrieval based on affective criteria corresponding to a personalized user affective profile.\u0000 A dataset of 64 different scenes from 8 movies was shown to eight participants. While watching, their physiological responses were recorded; namely, five peripheral physiological signals (GSR - galvanic skin resistance, EMG - electromyograms, blood pressure, respiration pattern, skin temperature) were acquired. After watching each scene, the participants were asked to self-assess their felt arousal and valence for that scene. In addition, movie scenes were analyzed in order to characterize each with various audio- and video-based features capturing the key elements of the events occurring within that scene.\u0000 Arousal and valence levels were estimated by a linear combination of features from physiological signals, as well as by a linear combination of content-based audio and video features. We show that a correlation exists between arousal- and valence-based rankings provided by the spectator's self-assessments, and rankings obtained automatically from either physiological signals or audio-video features. This demonstrates the ability of using physiological responses of participants to characterize video scenes and to rank them according to their emotional content. This further shows that audio-visual features, either individually or combined, can fairly reliably be used to predict the spectator's felt emotion for a given scene. The results also confirm that participants exhibit different affective responses to movie scenes, which emphasizes the need for the emotional profiles to be user-dependant.","PeriodicalId":82053,"journal":{"name":"MS","volume":"67 1","pages":"32-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84855705","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}
