• 2.6.3. Search engine for audio-visual content

• Main features: federating approach (of previous TRD, of ongoing activities)

• Technologies for search

• Tools and methods

• System approach and validation in realistic userscenarios and variesty of environments

• Relevance validations

• Large-scale testbed targets


www.eu-ist.hu


Objective:To provide advanced solutions for organising, searching and accessing large-scale, distributed digital audio-visual content and objects.

Support will be given to projects that significantly advance research capabilities and/or consolidate existing research work and identify future orientations in the field.

Proposed actions should have a federating effect on on-going work within relevant national initiatives for on-line access to digital content.


www.eu-ist.hu


• Focus:• Technologies to support the process of representing and interpreting, navigating

and retrieving audio-visual content and other types of digital objects. Particular aspects to be considered include heterogeneous data fusion, optimised system integration and where applicable P2P technologies.

• Methods and tools aimed at higher levels of information harvesting, including automated knowledge discovery and extraction, annotation and summarisation, indexing and retrieval of all types of digital content (text, image, video, audio, 3D graphical objects etc.), including protected content.

• Systems for adaptive search by content and/or context to be tested in realistic everyday life settings, based on relevance feedback – including socially-derived relevance. This should encompass the integration and testing of search from a variety of sources based on mixed-media queries and the delivery of different media types on a variety of devices (including mobile terminals).


www.eu-ist.hu


• System aspests:

• Emphasis should be placed on future user and service search requirements and on ubiquitous access, be it from a fixed or mobile networks, hiding complexity, as well as handling context and geographical awareness in multiple environments (e.g. local, corporate, open Internet).

• Work should be placed in a systems context with a clear industrial exploitation drive. Solutions should be validated with targeted applications in critical sectors, using large scale heterogeneous and networked audio-visual information repositories.


www.eu-ist.hu

– Stimulate, encourage and facilitate the participation in current and future Community ICT research.

– Bridge between the 6 and 7 FWP– Special focus on newcomers and SMEs, NMS, ACC.– Targeted also on INCO countries.

Inco Early warning systems for geo-physical hazards

• Target countries: Mediterranean partner countries, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Sri-Lanka, Japan, USA, Canada, New-Zealand.– The aim is to develop, validate and demonstrate advanced systems and

services to manage geo-physical risks, with a focus on developing an early warning and alert capacity for improved disaster prevention and preparedness in coastal zones. The objective is to establish operational prototypes for tsunami detection, early warning and alert relevant to the main tsunami-prone regions in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, and Indian Ocean.

• Target countries: Mediterranean partner countries, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Sri-Lanka, Japan, USA, Canada, New-Zealand.

– The aim is to develop, validate and demonstrate advanced systems and services to manage geo-physical risks, with a focus on developing an early warning and alert capacity for improved disaster prevention and preparedness in coastal zones. The objective is to establish operational prototypes for tsunami detection, early warning and alert relevant to the main tsunami-prone regions in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, and Indian Ocean.

Additional support measures include: technology transfer between EU and tsunami-prone countries and regions bordering the Indian

Ocean, for sharing best practice, promoting standards and adapting these to local needs and conditions;

Collaboration with specialised institutes in countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea with the aim of promoting a harmonised approach to tsunami early warning and alert for the Mediterranean basin.


www.eu-ist.hu

Inco Early warning systems for geo-physical hazards:

• A large STREP dealing with the enhancement of early warning and alert capacities, applied to tsunamis and other coastal hazards, which can build upon existing and future advanced infrastructures implemented under the coordination of UNESCO-IOC. Relevance and transferability of the technology to multiple tsunami-prone areas (Indian Ocean, Mediterranean and NE Atlantic) should be explored.

• IST focus should be on software and service development and system validation, in particular to improve speed and quality of data transmission and data integration across the entire chain (from monitoring to citizen alert), including sensor networking.


www.eu-ist.hu


– A Specific Support Action or Coordination Action, willing to cluster with the STREP and other related activities, that will enable INCO Countries (in particular those bordering the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean) to collaborate, with respect to e.g.: TEWS user requirements, validation, training and capacity building, to ensure that expected developments meet the local needs, while taking into account the international coordination guidelines of UNESCO-IOC towards the implementation of a global tsunami early warning system.
