Multimedia is any combination of text, art, sound, animation, and video delivered by computer or other electronic or digitally manipulated means (Vaughan, 2006). Through the rapid growth of multimedia technology, multimedia content can be created, shared and distributed easily. The amount of available digital music is continuously increasing, promoted by a growing interest of users and by the d...

This paper discussed the concepts and development of a multimedia geographic information system (GIS) for analyzing and visualizing both spatial and temporal geographic information in image/vector format as well as multimedia information in descriptive text, graphics, ground photographs and digital video clips. The multimedia GIS presents a new way to analyze and visualize geographic informatio...

This paper introduces the CARAT-ARC digital multimedia archiving system. CARAT-ARC is an open system for indexing, storing and searching multimedia documents (audio, video, graphics, text, etc.) It uses a hybrid approach to multimedia indexing and retrieval by combining automatic feature extraction with advanced multimedia browsing and logging tools. The motivation for such a hybrid approach as...

Typically, multimedia applications involve thousands of hours of video, images, audio , text and graphics that need to be stored, retrieved and manipulated in a large multimedia database. There is therefore an important need for novel techniques and systems which provide an eecient retrieval facility of the voluminous information stored in the multimedia database. Such facility will consist of ...

Periodic Pattern Mining, an interdisciplinary field of data mining is concerned with analyzing large volumes of time series or temporal data to discover patterns or trends or certain characteristics of data automatically. Temporal data captures the evolution of a data value over time. The existing Periodicity Mining Process is Text-Based which can be applied only to text data. The project propo...

A lot of current e-mail systems are ASCII text-based, e.g. the e-mail system in Internet. In the coming era of multimedia, e-mails will be composed of other non-text-based information. This paper presents an evolution approach to enhance the capabilities of the current text-based e-mail systems. Using the proposed approach, an adapter is added to the top of the current system. As a result, mult...

Multimedia storage servers provide access to multimedia objects including text, images, audio, and video. The design of such servers fundamentally diiers from conventional servers due to: (1) the real-time storage and retrieval, as well as (2) the large storage space and data transfer rate requirements of digital multimedia. In this paper, we present an overview of the architectures and algorit...

This paper describes the approach we take to the analysis of social media, combining opinion mining from text and multimedia (images, videos, etc), and centred on entity and event recognition. We examine a particular use case, which is to help archivists select material for inclusion in an archive of social media for preserving community memories, moving towards structured preservation around s...

Cognitive research indicates that multimedia presentations have benefits over text-only presentations, such as improved comprehension and recall by readers. In this paper, a method is proposed to enhance a text presentation with pictures, without using abstract semantic representations of either the text or the picture. The method is based on measuring similarity between the input text and text...
