Abstract:
Recently, a quick increasing the amount and complexity of digital collections on Web requires the development of new treatment and search engines, methods and algorithms for multimedia information retrieval. Usually, the low-level features of images such as color, texture and shape are used for visual information processing. “High-level” methods try to recognize particular patterns and interpret content of whole image in order to make retrieval more efficient and reduce the number of searching iterations with nonsense results.
In this presentation some proposed hybrid approaches for visual information retrieval are discussed. They combine image low-level feature analysis with semantic descriptors of image content providing machine-understandable semantics for search, access, and retrieval of multimedia data using ontology. The results of our research may be used for development of image retrieval facilities such as, systems for supporting digital image processing services, design of software for high performance exchange of multimedia material within distributed collaborative and learning environments, distance education, digital libraries; design of searching facilities for personalized information among federated collections; image based navigators, etc.

Abstract:
Evaluating user experience necessarily involves interpreting emotions expressed or implied by people when presented with a product or a service. Emotions, however, are not always easy to detect and interpret, particularly when methods for detection interfere with the experience under evaluation, or are applied after usage, when emotions cannot be recalled with precision. This talk reports progress towards the development of means for detecting and interpreting emotions as they are experienced, and for their incorporation into the process of evaluating user experience.

The thesis section of the website has been updated. Also, a new thesis on performance evaluation of DASH has been added.
We are pleased to announce the availability of our new mirror of the DASH dataset, part of an effort coordinated by the ITEC at Alpen-Adria Universität in Klagenfurt, Austria, to promote experimental activity related to the DASH standard on which we are actively investigating some research issues.
