In this book, the authors present the latest research results in
the multimedia and semantic web communities, bridging the ‘Semantic
Gap’
This book explains, collects and reports on the latest research
results that aim at narrowing the so-called multimedia ‘Semantic
Gap’: the large disparity between descriptions of multimedia
content that can be computed automatically, and the richness and
subjectivity of semantics in user queries and human interpretations
of audiovisual media. Addressing the grand challenge posed by the
‘Semantic Gap’ requires a multi-disciplinary approach (computer
science, computer vision and signal processing, cognitive science,
web science, etc.) and this is reflected in recent research in this
area. In addition, the book targets an interdisciplinary community,
and in particular the Multimedia and the Semantic Web communities.
Finally, the authors provide both the fundamental knowledge and the
latest state-of-the-art results from both communities with the goal
of making the knowledge of one community available to the
other.
Key Features:
* Presents state-of-the art research results in multimedia
semantics: multimedia analysis, metadata standards and multimedia
knowledge representation, semantic interaction with multimedia
* Contains real industrial problems exemplified by user case
scenarios
* Offers an insight into various standardisation bodies including
W3C, IPTC and ISO MPEG
* Contains contributions from academic and industrial communities
from Europe, USA and Asia
* Includes an accompanying website containing user cases,
datasets, and software mentioned in the book, as well as links to
the K-Space No E and the SMa RT society web sites (href=’http://www.multimediasemantics.com/’>http://www.multimediasemantics.com/)
This book will be a valuable reference for academic and industry
researchers /practitioners in multimedia, computational
intelligence and computer science fields. Graduate students,
project leaders, and consultants will also find this book of
interest.
