GPI Seminar Series: Horst Eidenberger
Prof. Horst Eidenberger, Multimedia Information Retrieval and Forensic Biometrics at the Interactive Media Systems Group
Wednesday September 25th, 11:00 - 13:00, Seminar Room D5-007
Abstract:
The presentation will cover the following topics:
- A brief introduction to the Interactive Media Systems (IMS) group at the Vienna University of Technology. We do research in multimedia information retrieval, stereo matching and augmented reality.
- An overview over media retrieval at IMS: Major research topics are visual media description by local features, identifying adequate similarity models for classification, mixing audio and video in descriptions and classification, and outlier detection
- Details on what we do in visual media description by Gestalt-based local features. Currently, we apply our GIP detector for violence detection
- Our approach to the unification of similarity models for human-like and kernel-based classification of multimedia descriptions. We combine distance-based and predicate-based measures for the optimal separation of media clusters
- Selected forensic applications for media retrieval in the area of biometrics: voice identification and face recognition: What can be done? What can’t?
- A few words on the teaching situation at IMS and opportunities for master and PhD students
