External Site: Informedia Digital Video Library at CMU[info]
The Informedia research group at Carnegie Mellon University works with speech recognition, image processing, and language technologies to facilitate machine understanding of video materials. This site is devoted to aspects of Informedia research especially pertinent to digital video libraries for cultural assets, particularly oral histories, and hosts interfaces that build from automatic alignment of transcripts to video, named entity detection, geocoding to support map search, and other multimedia indexing and interface technologies. The IDVL interfaces are built with Adobe Flex, producing a Flash application. The website also includes a number of articles and presentations that come out of IDVL research and projects.
