TOPICS OF INTEREST
While technologies for the manipulation of complete videos have been
well-studied and are already used in relevant applications, e.g. in stock
footage portals, media libraries or TV archives, where entire videos may be
found and also purchased for re-use in new media production situations,
these applications and markets do not permit the easy purchase or sale of
smaller fragments of multimedia content. Making possible the latter would
have significant benefits for both the creators and the potentials consumers
of the content, most notably in terms of lowering the cost associated with
re-using and re-mixing existing pieces of multimedia content towards
creating new multimedia experiences. Besides benefits, though, the
manipulation of multimedia content at such a finer granularity level also
presents significant challenges, both purely technological (e.g. with
respect to the automatic creation of meaningful media fragments, or the
extraction of information that can describe such fragments and make them easily searchable) and more application-oriented ones (e.g. with respect to the required user interfaces, the use cases and
even the business models associated with the re-use and re-mixing of media
fragments).
This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from the
different fields that contribute to the development of technologies and
applications for media fragment creation and remixing, with emphasis both on
the presentation of new supporting technologies for the creation and
understanding of media fragments (e.g. video decomposition at different
granularity levels; extraction of concepts, events, or textual descriptions
that capture the meaning of specific media fragments) and on novel
applications of such technologies for media fragment re-use and re- mixing
in various domains, such as the traditional media industry, the news
industry, video blogging and social media applications, and others.
Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Multimedia fragmentation techniques
- Concept detection from media fragments
- Event detection from media fragments
- Event recounting and textual description of media fragments
- Media fragment description
- Media fragment search and retrieval
- Media fragments in the social Web
- User interfaces for media fragment manipulation
- Novel media fragment re-use and remixing results with commercial
application
We encourage researchers from industry and academia to submit original
works. Submitted manuscripts should be no longer than 6 pages, including all
text, figures, and references. They must be formatted in standard IEEE
camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font, letter (8.5?11-inch) paper)
and must be submitted as PDF files. Please note that reviewing is double
blind. Further information for prospective authors (including Latex/Word
templates and detailed instructions for preserving the anonymity of the
submissions – same as those for the ICME main track submissions) can be
found on the ICME web page, http://www.icme2013.org.
