Interactive Media technologies improve the ability to use dynamic multimedia documents and advance accessing, visualizing, organizing, and extracting desired information from large multimedia databases.
Research in this area focuses on:
Ubiquitous Documents - provide tools that support access to documents from any device in any place. FXPAL creates new visualizations and applications supporting document viewing on devices ranging from cell phones to large displays. FXPAL also invents new technologies and supporting analyses for document services.
Multimedia Access and Visualization - content analysis and graphical user interfaces to enable easy and effective access to archived multimedia content. These technologies: provide multiple alternatives to allow user to identify their information needs, supply useful summaries of multimedia objects, and offer new collaborative search methods for simultaneous and collaborative searching in time-sensitive situations. Since 2003 FXPAL has participated in TRECVID, a large-scale metrics-based evaluation of video analysis technologies organized by NIST to promote progress in content-based video search.
