Funded Activity Summary

Bridging the semantic gap for building effective content management systems: Computational media aesthetics. This project focuses on video abstraction and aims to bridge the semantic gap between the simplicity of available visual features and the richness of user descriptions. We examine how visual and aural techniques are brought together to influence the engagement of audience in a story portrayal. The major outcome will be a computational framework for extracting the semantics associated with audiovisual elements in television/film, and scalable software tools that can rapidly and consistently analyse media along various aesthetic dimensions. It will allow for high-level annotation of media and the building of more effective content management systems with enhanced user querying capabilities.
