| Description | Democratic and personalized production of multimedia content is one of the most exciting challenges that content providers will have to face in the near future. In this proposal, we plan to address this challenge by proposing a framework to automate the collection and distribution of digital content. As a federating objective, APIDIS targets cost-effective autonomous production, so as to make the creation of audiovisual reports profitable, even in case of small- or medium-size audience. First, APIDIS will investigate the automatic extraction of intelligent content from networks of multi-modal sensors. Intelligence refers here to the identification of salient segments within the audiovisual content, using distributed scene analysis algorithms. Second, our project will exploit that knowledge to automate the production of video content for controlled scenarios, e.g. most notably sports events or surveillance. |
