CBMI 2010 - Report

I presented last month the article entitled "A Kernel-Based Strategy for Exploratory Image Collection Search" at the 8th International Workshop on Content-Based Multimedia Indexing (CBMI) . The conference proceeding are published in http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=5513763

This conference was very important for me, the works presented at the conference were very aligned to the research that I am doing in my doctoral thesis. The most relevant works are:

• A Fast Algorithm for Music Search by Similarity in Large Databases based on Modified Symetrized Kullback Leibler Divergence, Christophe Charbuillet, Geoffroy Peeters, Stanislav Barton and Valerie Gouet-Brunet.
• Active Learning with Multiple Classifiers for Multimedia Indexing, Bahjat SAFADI and Georges Quénot.
• Visual Object Tracking Based on Incremental Kernel PCA, Li Sun and Guizhong Liu.
• VERGE: A Video Interactive Retrieval Engine, Stefanos Vrochidis, Anastasia Moumtzidou, Paul King, Anastasios.
• Evaluation of Video Summaries, Yingbo Li, Bernard Merialdo.
• A New Spatial Weighting Scheme for Bag-of-Visual-Words, Ismail El sayad, Jean Martinet, Thierry Urruty and Chabane Djeraba.
• A kernel-based active learning strategy for content-based image retrieval, Daoudi, I., Idrissi, K.
  

During the conference I did some research contacts. Specially, professor Jenny Benois offers me to do an internship at Analyse et Indexation Vidéo Lab (LaBRI) in Bordeaux-France. So I am working in serching for funds to travel next year. These are the main contacts:

• Professor Jenny Benois-Pineau, full professor of Computer science at the University Bordeaux 1 and chair of Video Analysis and Indexing research group in Image and Sound Department of LABRI UMR 58000 UniversitéBordeaux1/Bordeaux2/CNRS/ENSEIRB.
• Professor Titus Zaharia, ARTEMIS Department at TELECOM & Management SudParis. Professor Titus works in visual content indexing and coding, and include feature extraction, image and video segmentation, motion detection and estimation, 2D/3D reconstruction, virtual character modelling and animation, virtual/augmented reality, digital interactive TV, calibration techniques, and color image processing.
