Multimedia semantics
Apostol Natsev · 2010
Digital media production and consumption has skyrocketed in recent years and is now commonplace in many parts of our lives - from the way we entertain and inform ourselves to the way we communicate, socialize, and learn. With the tremendous growth of multimedia come great opportunities but even greater expectations and challenges. Traditional approaches of multimedia description based on manual tagging, production metadata, and link analysis are typically coarse-grained and inadequate. Advances in semantic understanding of multimedia content over recent years are instrumental for unlocking the full potential of multimedia.
