Notes:
Video information collages are the key technology in Informedia-II and will be built by advancing information visualization research to effectively deal with multiple video documents. A video information collage is a presentation of text, images, audio, and video derived from multiple video sources in order to summarize, provide context, and communicate aspects of the content for the originating set of sources. The collages to be investigated include chrono-collages emphasizing time, geo-collages emphasizing spatial relationships, and auto-documentaries which preserve video’s temporal nature. Users will be able to interact with the video collages to generate multimodal queries across time, space, and sources. Video collages are made adaptive by giving preference to the concepts and query terms in the user’s interaction history. The synthesis and summarization functions underlying these collages will be made possible through extensions of text clustering and Expectation Maximization algorithms to video and audio features.
