Media Workbench

Project Description:

     The continued rapid growth in information volume makes it increasingly difficult to find, organize, access and maintain the information required by users. Important information is often scattered across web resources and typically in the form of weakly structured text and multimedia. Traditional search engines return irrelevant information that offers little or no information on the semantic relationships among documents.

    The project will develop various cross-media and media-specific technologies for modeling and working with text, audio, images, and video data as well as their unification and association at the semantic conceptual level based on XML schema and MPEG7 standards. To deliver people-oriented rich media content and services to content producers and end users, we further study the issues of user modeling, and develop tools for user- and purpose-centric production, retrieval, organization and repurposing of media content from distributed sources.

    Our aim is to provide end users an integrated platform for high level analysis and organization across media information for delivering personalized media services.
