  • Abstract: CHORUS + has been funded in the continuity of the former CHORUS initiative thanks to its success. Beyond CHORUS coordination objectives, CHORUS+ includes new key issues such as extended cooperation and coordination to Asian countries and US, support to integration and implementation, support to coordinated research evaluations or support to results dissemination of EU projects. Nozha Boujemaa and Alexis Joly are part of the management board of the project.

GLOCAL

  • Title: Glocal (Event-Based Retrieval of Networked Media )

  • Type: COOPERATION (ICT)

  • Defi: Networked Medias & 3D Internet

  • Instrument: Integrated Project (IP)

  • Duration: December 2009 - November 2012

  • Coordinator: Univ. Degli Studi di Trento (Italy)

  • Others partners: UNITN (Italy), ISOCO (Spain), ALINARI (Italy),CERTH (Greece), Yahoo Iberia SL (Spain), AFP (France), DFKI (Germany), Exalead (France), LUH (Germany), BUT (Czech Republic)

  • See also: http://www.glocal-project.eu/

  • Abstract: The key idea underlying the project is to use events as the primary means for organizing and indexing media. Within networked communities, common (global) descriptions of the world can be built and continuously enriched by a continuous flow of individual (local) descriptions. With two leading search companies and four content providers, the consortium attempts to realize and evaluate this approach in several application domains, which will involve professional and amateur users dealing with professional and generic contents. IMEDIA is responsible of three research tasks related to visual-based event indexing, retrieval and mining, notably in distributed contexts.

I-SEARCH

  • Title: I-SEARCH (A unified framework for multimodal content SEARCH)

  • Type: COOPERATION (ICT)

  • Defi: Networked Medias & 3D Internet

  • Instrument: Specific Targeted Research Project (STREP)

  • Duration: January 2010 - December 2012

  • Coordinator: CENTRE FOR RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY HELLAS (Greece)

  • Others partners: CERTH (Greece), JCPC (France), ATTC (Greece), ENG (Italy), Google (Germany), UNIGE (Italy), Exalead (France), FHE (Germany), ANSC (Italy), EGR (Germany)

  • See also: http://www.isearch-project.eu/isearch/

  • Abstract: The I-SEARCH project aims to provide a novel unified framework for multimodal content indexing, sharing, search and retrieval. The I-SEARCH framework will be able to handle specific types of multimedia and multimodal content (text, 2D image, sketch, video, 3D objects and audio) alongside with real world information, which can be used as queries and retrieve any available relevant content of any of the aforementioned types. IMEDIA is workpackage leader of “RUCOD COMPLIANT Descriptor Extraction”.
