Users of multimedia applications today are equipped with a variety of different (mobile) devices that each come with different operating systems, memory and CPU capabilities, netw...
In distributed computing systems, it is unwise to move data to the point of program code, but instead process data at the point of storage. This concept is even more appropriate t...
In recent years, relevance feedback has been studied extensively as a way to improve performance of content-based image retrieval (CBIR). However, since users are usually unwillin...

Constraints are used in traditional database systems to define consistent database states. For multimedia data it is also important to define constraints for a correct data outp...
We present a system for real-time configuration of multimodal interfaces to Virtual Environments (VE). The flexibility of our tool is supported by a semantics-based representati...
Gabor filters have been proven to be very useful for texture retrieval and are widely adopted However, the original Gabor texturefeatures are rotation variant. Recently, Zhang et ...
A composite multimedia object (cmo) is comprised of different media components such as text, video, audio and image, with a variety of constraints that must be adhered to. The con...
This paper describes solutions for parallel video processing based on LAN-connected PC-like workstations. We outline application scenarios for the processing of video with broadca...
In this paper, we introduce a novel metadata model for describing scalable and interactive TV services that can be enriched with supplemental multimedia information. The model all...
We propose a novel semantic video summarization framework, which generates video skimmings that guarantee both the balanced content coverage and the visual coherence. First, we co...
