Relating RSS News/Items
2009
Merging related RSS news (coming from one or different sources) is beneficial for end-users with different backgrounds (journalists, economists, etc.), particularly those accessing similar information. In this paper, we provide a practical approach to both: measure the relatedness, and identify relationships between RSS elements. Our approach is based on the concepts of semantic neighborhood and vector space model, and considers the content and structure of RSS news items. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
Guest Editors' Introduction: Multimedia Metadata and Semantic Management
2009
This special issue assesses the current status and technologies and describes major challenges and proper solutions for effective multimedia production and management related to evolving Semantic Web strategies. The included articles, which cover different facets of the semantic management of multimedia and multimedia metadata from retrieval and processing to consumption and presentation, represent a step forward in research targeted at improving aspects of the semantic metadata life cycle.
Towards a Novel Approach to Multimedia Data Mixed Fragmentation
2009
International audience; Distributed multimedia applications have emerged at an increasing rate during the last decade in several domains (video conferencing, e-health, virtual meeting rooms, etc). This has created several new challenging problems related to the data integration and fragmentation, user-oriented and adaptive interfaces, real time and network performances, etc. In this paper, we focus on the problem of data(base) fragmentation in a multimedia context. We recall in this respect that data fragmentation consists of reducing irrelevant data accesses by grouping data frequently accessed together in dedicated segments. We mainly address the issue of query and predicate implication r…
Detecting Inference Channels in Private Multimedia Data via Social Networks
2009
International audience; Indirect access to protected information has been one of the key challenges facing the international community for the last decade. Providing techniques to control direct access to sensitive information remain insufficient against inference channels established when legitimate data reveal classified facts hidden from unauthorized users. Several techniques have been proposed in the literature to meet indirect access prevention. However, those addressing the inference problem when involving multimedia objects (images, audio, video, etc.) remain few and hold several drawbacks. In essence, the complex structure of multimedia objects makes the fact of detecting indirect a…
Automatic Temporal Formatting of Multimedia Presentations Using Dynamic Petri Nets.
2009
An efficient authoring tool would provide support for automatic temporal formatting and modeling of multimedia presentations. Automatic temporal formatting is a process of converting the given presentation specifications into a required temporal format. This paper presents an algorithm that can convert a temporal layout into a dynamic petri net (DPN )w hich can represent iterative and interactive presentation components effectively. The prototype of the authoring tool extracts the temporal layout from any given SMIL file representation and uses the proposed algorithm to automatically convert it into a DPN. The DPN generated automatically at compile-time helps the run-time components in effe…
Semantic aware RSS query algebra
2010
International audience; Existing XML query algebras are not fully appropriate to retrieve RSS news items mainly due to three reasons: 1) RSS is text rich and its content is dependent on the wording and verbification of the author, thus semantic aware operators are needed; 2) news items are dynamic and consequently time oriented retrieval is needed; 3) a news item may evolve through time, or overlap with other news items and hence identifying relationships between items is also needed. In this paper, we aim to solve these issues by providing a dedicated RSS algebra based on semantic-aware operators that consider RSS characteristics. The provided operators are application domain specific and …
Integration of 3D and multispectral data for cultural heritage applications: Survey and perspectives
2013
International audience; Cultural heritage is increasingly put through imaging systems such as multispectral cameras and 3D scanners. Though these acquisition systems are often used independently, they collect complementary information (spectral vs. spatial) used for the study, archiving and visualization of cultural heritage. Recording 3D and multispectral data in a single coordinate system enhances the potential insights in data analysis. Wepresent the state of the art of such acquisition systems and their applications for the study of cultural her- itage. Wealso describe existing registration techniques that can be used to obtain 3D models with multispec- tral texture and explore the idea…
Registration of 3D and Multispectral Data for the Study of Cultural Heritage Surfaces
2013
International audience; We present a technique for the multi-sensor registration of featureless datasets based on the photogrammetric tracking of the acquisition systems in use. This method is developed for the in situ study of cultural heritage objects and is tested by digitizing a small canvas successively with a 3D digitization system and a multispectral camera while simultaneously tracking the acquisition systems with four cameras and using a cubic target frame with a side length of 500 mm. The achieved tracking accuracy is better than 0.03 mm spatially and 0.150 mrad angularly. This allows us to seamlessly register the 3D acquisitions and to project the multispectral acquisitions on th…
Deep learning for dehazing: Benchmark and analysis
2018
International audience; We compare a recent dehazing method based on deep learning , Dehazenet, with traditional state-of-the-art approach, on benchmark data with reference. Dehazenet estimates the depth map from a single color image, which is used to inverse the Koschmieder model of imaging in the presence of haze. In this sense, the solution is still attached to the Koschmieder model. We demonstrate that this method exhibits the same limitation than other inversions of this imaging model.
THE IMAGE PROTECTOR A Flexible Security Rule Specification Toolkit
2011
International audience; The tremendous sharing of multimedia objects on the web shed the light on several privacy concerns related in essence to the safe publishing of end users' personal data. Providing techniques to protect multimedia objects faces several difficulties due to multimedia objects' heterogeneous and complex structure on one hand, and on the other hand, the wide range of information that could be used to describe their content. In this paper, we present a flexible security rule specification toolkit for multimedia objects. Our toolkit is based on a security model and a core ontology in which we populate the model's related information and multimedia objects data. To specify s…
