TF participants, I hope that some participants in the Multimedia TF would like consider submitting to this issue of IEEE Transactions on Multimedia (see CFP below). I think it is quite exciting to see this emerging link between image/video analysis and ontology engineering. Guus ************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Semantic Image and Video Indexing in Broad Domains Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Multimedia Guest Editors: Marcel Worring, Guus Schreiber Submission deadline: October 1, 2006 BACKGROUND The semantic gap has dictated that solutions to image and video indexing could only be applied in narrow domains using specific concept detectors, e.g., "sunset" or "face". This leads to lexica of at most 10-20 concepts. The use of multi-modal indexing, advances in machine learning, and the availability of some large, annotated information sources, e.g., the TRECVID benchmark, has paved the way to increase lexicon size by orders of magnitude (now 100 concepts, in a few years 1,000). This brings it within reach of research in ontology engineering, i.e. creating and maintaining large, typically 10,000+ structured sets of shared concepts. When recent advances in data-driven image and video analysis on the one hand, and top-down ontology engineering and reasoning on the other hand, are combined we are reaching the point where the semantic gap can be bridged for many concepts in broad domains such as film, news, sports and personal albums. The research in these disciplines has traditionally been within different communities. This special issue aims to bring together a number of high-quality papers from the contributing disciplines, as well as recent multi-disciplinary work. The issue should set the scene for a big leap over the semantic gap.
