    摘要: A multimedia archive description scheme is provided for characterizing a multimedia archive having records and associated record descriptions. The multimedia archive description scheme provides a data structure which relates records by similarity measures. The principle data structure in the multimedia archive description scheme is a cluster. A cluster includes one or more attributes of the records in the archive and can include one or more cluster relationships. Cluster attributes can include feature space attributes, semantic attributes, media attributes and meta attributes of the records in the archive. The cluster relationships can relate records to clusters or clusters to clusters. Cluster relationships can include feature space (syntactic) relationships, semantic relationships, media relationships and meta relationships. The multimedia archive description scheme provides an efficient form for describing a collection of records.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is disclosed that receives an input narrative in a particular media format, and produces therefrom a multimedia enriched version of the input narrative. In one embodiment, a method is provided for enriching an input narrative with multimedia content, wherein the method includes the step of selectively segmenting the input narrative to form queries pertaining to different portions or elements of the input narrative. The method further comprises retrieving multimedia artifacts from one or more multimedia repositories, wherein each retrieved multimedia artifact is associated with one of the queries, and selecting a subset of the retrieved multimedia artifacts, wherein the subset includes artifacts comprising different types of multimedia content. The input narrative is then combined with respective multimedia artifacts of the subset, in order to provide an enriched and enhanced narrative.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for classifying or annotating image and video content by assigning each class of event, action, region or object a unique symbol and then building symbol strings to represent sequences in space or time. The symbol strings can be decoded using a library of annotated PT descriptors to automatically label the image and video content. Furthermore, the PT descriptors can be used for searching by sketch or searching by example where the search query input is converted to symbol strings, which are efficiently compared based on the presence and relative counts of PT descriptors mapped into a PT matrices. The Precedence Template (PT) descriptor can be used for classifying and querying video based on the spatial and temporal orderings of regions, objects, actions or events. Applied to video, the PT descriptors provide a way to compare the temporal order of events, actions, or objects such as those represented in a scene transition graph, key-frame list, or event string. Applied to images, the PT descriptors provide a way to compare the spatial arrangement of image regions or objects. By capturing the spatial and temporal relationships statistically, the PT descriptors provide a robust way to measure similarity in the presence of insertions, deletions, substitutions, replications and relocations of events, actions, regions or objects.

The mechanism further provides for generating a view element representation of multidimensional lattice data comprising decomposing the multidimensional data into view elements such that the view elements retain sufficient information to reconstruct the original lattice data. Alternatively, the mechanism for generating a view element data representation including iterative decomposition of the lattice data into aggregated and residual view elements or by spatially partitioning the lattice data. Further taught are an apparatus and a method for generating a view element data representation including the decomposition of the lattice data by iteratively and jointly aggregating and spatially partitioning the lattice data. Under the system for representing the data using view element sets, costs and benefits are assigned to the view elements and the view element sets are formed on the bases of the costs and benefits. A view of the data from a set of view elements is synthesized by selecting view elements from the view element sets and assembling the view elements together to construct the views.

    摘要: An iterative refinement algorithm for content-based retrieval of images based on low-level features such as textures, color histograms, and shapes that can be described by feature vectors. This technique adjusts the original feature space to the new application by performing nonlinear multidimensional scaling. Consequently, the transformed distance of those feature vectors which are considered to be similar is minimized in the new feature space. Meanwhile, the distance among clusters are maintained. User feedback is utilized to refine the query, by dynamically adjusting the similarity measure and modifying the linear transform of features, along with revising the feature vectors.
