Expo
IEEE ICME 2011 Expo is open to the public.
Exhibition
IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo (ICME) has been the flagship multimedia conference sponsored by four IEEE societies (Communications, Computer, Circuits and Systems; and Signal Processing) since 2000. It serves as a forum to promote the exchange of the latest advances in multimedia technologies, systems and applications from both the research and development perspectives of the circuits and systems, communications, computer and signal processing communities, among others. An Exposition of multimedia products, animations and industries will be held in conjunction with the conference.
The goal of the Exhibit and Industrial Program is to promote applied research and applications, as well as facilitate collaborations between industrial and academia members of the multimedia community.

Demos
 |
AN IMAGE FORENSICS TOOL FOR COPY-MOVE DETECTION AND LOCALIZATION |
| Irene Amerini, Lamberto Ballan, Roberto Caldelli, Alberto del Bimbo, Luca Del Tongo, Giuseppe Serra | |
| We demonstrate a novel image forensics tool for copy-move detection and localization. The proposed method can determine if such tampering has occurred and which image patches are involved, and it also recovers which geometric transformation was used to perform cloning. | |
 |
NEXTSHARETV: A SET-TOP BOX FOR BITTORRENT-BASED LIVE STREAMING |
| Mark Stuart, Mike Buckham, Richard Marsh, Michael Eberhard, Johnathan Ishmael, Chris Needham, Christian Timmerer | |
| The demo presents a low-cost consumer electronics set-top box for streaming live video content using cost-efficient P2P networks. The set-top box can receive HDTV content and its main features include content discovery, high-quality playback, easy user management, and social interaction. | |
 |
SEARCH IN LARGE VIDEO ARCHIVES USING QUERIES BASED ON A SYNTHETIC 3D HUMAN MODEL |
| Stephan Veigl, Csaba Beleznai | |
| Searching through large video archives for a specific person is a challenging task, especially if you have a textual description only. Our system allows novel search queries which are defined by a combination of conventional rules and 3D avatars, thereby showing a processing performance of 100x real-time. | |
 |
A PROCESSING TOOL FOR EMOTIONALLY COLOURED SPEECH |
| Ronald Böck, Ingo Siegert, Bogdan Vlasenko, Andreas Wendemuth, Matthias Haase, Julia Lange | |
| The processing tool "ikannotate" provides serveral options in transcription, annotation, and labelling of emotionally coloured speech. Annotation can be done according to the conversation-analytic-system-of-transcription. It supports also three labelling methods: Basic Emotions, Geneva Emotion Wheel, and Self-Assessment Manikins. Moreover, several add-ons are plugged-in to prepare material for further analyses. | |
 |
SYSTEM FOR REAL-TIME DETECTION OF BROADCASTED TV COMMERCIALS |
| Dimitar Taskovski, Vlado Kitanovski | |
| This demo presents a prototype system that implements a recognition-based method for real-time TV commercial detection. The system performs two basic tasks: real-time detection of known commercials that are previously stored in a database, and identifying unknown commercials that should be recognized later by manual inspection. | |
 |
SEARCHING FOR VIDEOS ON APPLE IPAD AND IPHONE |
| Colum Foley, Jinlin Guo, David Scott, Paul Ferguson, Cathal Gurrin | |
| In this demonstration we introduce our content-based video search system which runs as an app on the Apple iPad or iPhone. We have developed a simple but engaging content based video search engine which uses an iPad or iPhone app as the front-end user interface. Our app supports the three common modes for content-based video search: text search, concept search and image-similarity search. | |
 |
A FLEXIBLE SYSTEM FOR MULTIMEDIA MANAGEMENT AND PUBLISHING |
| Marco Bertini, Giuseppe Becchi, Andrea Ferracani, Alberto del Bimbo, George Ioannidis, Alexandru Stan, Emile Bijk | |
| The IM3I (www.im3i.eu) platform provides a flexible approach for the management, annotation and publishing of collections of images and videos. The system is based on web services that allow automatic and manual annotation, retrieval, browsing and authoring of multimedia content. | |
 |
SMART VIDEO BUDDY – CONTENT-BASED LIVE RECOMMENDATION |
| Damian Borth, Christian Kofler, Adrian Ulges | |
| We present Smart Video Buddy , a content-based live recommender that links video streams with other relevant information sources. The system performs a real-time analysis of video content by feeding a scenes?color and local patches to statistical learners, which mine the video stream for semantic concepts. Based on the provided recognition results, recommendations for news, products, links are made and automatically adapted to what is being watched in real-time. This way, passive video consumption is turned into an interactive experience. | |
 |
OPENGL SC EMULATION BASED ON WINDOWS PC'S |
| Nakhoon Baek, Hwanyong Lee | |
| OpenGL SC library is now working on Microsoft Windows PC's. OpenGL SC is the Safety-Critical profile of the famous OpenGL family. You can develop and execute OpenGL SC programs on the desktop PC's. We will demonstrate the OpenGL SC emulation library and its successful behaviors. | |
 |
LET EPITOME SUMMARIZE YOUR PHOTO COLLECTION! |
| Peter Vajda, Ivan Ivanov, Lutz Goldmann, Touradj Ebrahimi | |
| We present an approach for photo album summarization through a novel social game Epitome. This application provides an intuitive user interface as a web and mobile application and creates photo collages for Facebook photo albums. Its potential users can enjoy watching their friends' photos while playing it. | |
 |
MUMA: A MUSIC SEARCH ENGINE BASED ON CONTENT ANALYSIS |
| Arthur Lenoir, Rémi Landais, Geoffroy Peeters, Laurent Oudre, Thomas Fillon | |
| We introduce here MUMA (MUsic Mashup, http://muma.labs.exalead.com), a new search engine that relies both on textual metadata and signal processing metadata. MUMA is a web-based application which allows the user to search for particular chords sequences, for specific moods, and to listen to automatically generated song summaries. | |
 |
TOWARDS MULTIMODAL PLAYER ADAPTIVITY IN A SERIOUS GAME FOR FAIR RESOURCE DISTRIBUTION |
| Corrado Grappiolo, Georgios Yannakakis, Stylianos Asteriadis, Kostas Karpouzis | |
| The overall aim is the development of an adaptive serious game for teaching conflict resolution. We present an initial demonstrator (resource management conflict scenario) which detects and models player in-game behaviors and cognitive processes and, based on these, automatically generates content that drives the player towards personalized conflict resolution scenarios. | |
 |
QUANTIZER TECHNOLOGY: REAL-TIME DISPLAYING OF MILLIONS OF POLYGONS |
| Leonardo Fonteles, Marc Antonini, Yves Demange, Bruno Stefanizzi | |
| Quantizer is a 3D data codec for PC or mobiles. It can reduce data by a ratio of 50 to 100 without perceptible artifacts. Its GPU implementation drastically reduces buses and video memory usage. It brings a new performance step to display multi-resolution meshes of hundreds of millions of polygons. | |
 |
EXPRESSIVE VIRTUAL STORYTELLING |
| Marc Antonijoan, Francesc Alías, Marc Rovira, Gabriel Fernandez | |
| This system merges expressive text-to-speech synthesis with gesture and facial animation synthesis for story telling purposes. Starting from an input text (a tale) tagged with emotional information, the system generates an audiovisual stream with the corresponding expressive photorealistic 3D avatar performance. A demo is available online at: dtmmetadades.housing.salle.url.edu/ccuentos |
