The Fourth International Conference on Intelligent Information Hiding
and Multimedia Signal Processing
Harbin, China, August 15-17, 2008
Special Session: Multimedia and Information Retrieval
The convergence of ICT and multimedia processing techniques in the last
two decades has resulted in an enormous wealth of media , such as text,
audio, speech, music, image and video, which populates the internets and
various types of databases around the worlds, and requires new indexing
techniques to deal with its enormity. In response to these indexing
needs and challenges, we propose a special session on Multimedia and
Information Retrieval in an attempt to provide a forum for researchers
to exchange the state-of-the-art knowledge and developments in this area.
Topics of the proposed area cover, but not limited to, the following:
� Content-based indexing, search, and retrieval of multimedia
� Semantic-based indexing, search, and retrieval of multimedia
� Advanced descriptors and similarity metrics for multimedia
� Learning and relevance feedback in multimedia retrieval/information
� Ontologies for annotation and search of multimedia/information
� Image/video summarization and visualization
� Multimodal human computer interaction
� Evaluation of multimedia/information retrieval systems
� Query models, paradigms, and languages for multimedia/information
retrieval
� Database architectures for multimedia/information retrieval
� Novel multimedia/information data management systems and applications
� 3D images and models
� Multimedia/information search and browsing on the Web
� Applications in satellite, forensic, (bio-)medical image and video
collections
