Assoc.-Prof. Dr.
Markus Schedl
Univ.-Ass. Dr. Peter Knees
Time: Wednesday,
13:45-16:15
Start: Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2014
Location: HS 12
This class will be taught in English.
Class Objectives and Content
Students will learn the basics in
multimedia processing and analysis (feature extraction, feature
analysis, pattern discovery, information visualization), which are
required to understand and build multimedia information systems. We
will first cover the four most important types of multimedia data
(text, audio/music, image, video) individually, focusing on
particularities of each data source and on aspects of feature
extraction and data cleaning. After the first set of lectures, students
will have acquired a solid knowledge in state-of-the-art feature
extraction techniques. Hereafter, methods to analyze the extracted
features will be discussed, in particular, methods of data analysis for
pattern discovery and visualization. This
will be complemented by a practical project in which students will
apply the techniques learned.
The main topics covered include:
- Text features
- Audio and music features
- Image features
- Video features
- Linear and non-linear models for data analysis
- Data fusion of multimodal data
- Interfaces and browsing
- Search and retrieval in multimedia repositories
Practical Exercise
The practical task will deal with retrieval of diverse images for
given locations (details to follow). The practical exercise is
mandatory and will contribute 50% to the final grade.
