Searching My Family's Multimedia Memories?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Critical Technical Challenges Many of us have many family memories saved on physical and electronic media but we do not have a mechanism to search them. Some of these memories are locked up in analog format such as black and white 16mm films (no audio), black and white photographs, color photographs, cassette recordings, 8 track tape, VHS tapes and 8MM tapes. Others are held in electronic formats such as a digital pictures and digital video. Most analog formats can be converted to a digital format. The challenge is trying to search the digital formats for events such as a “1 st birthday party”, “wedding” or “anniversary party”. Although the problem area pertains to family memories captured on media, the same can be applied to other fields such as sports, entertainment, business, law enforcement, and state and federal government.
