2012: 2nd International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval - Call for Organizers

The PatMedia image retrieval engine was presented and demonstrated in the Exhibition of the IRF Symposium 2010 in Vienna. PatMedia was also one of the main discussion topics in the Image Retrieval Session of the Symposium. During this session, the patent image search engine developed by ITI, was evaluated by professional patent searchers, who discussed their findings and concluded that the functionalities of PatMedia would be of added value in their search tasks. The presentations are available here..

The "e-Report" idea, based on WeKnowIt technologies, was presented at the 2nd labs.opengov.gr meeting (in Greek). It promotes citizens participation and contribution combined with large-scale content analysis and structuring for efficient addressing local and environmental problems.

CERTH-ITI recently released its VIA annotation tool as open source under the GPL license.
You can check it out on SourceForge.

Video Image Annotation Tool (VIA) is a windows application to manually annotate video and images. It provides a user friendly interface for the accurate and undemanding live and "frame by frame" annotation of video and and region-based annotation of still images integrating results from a segmentation algorithm.

The development of this tool has been supported by the Bootstrapping Ontology Evolution with Multimedia Information Extraction (BOEMIE)(FP6-027538) and aceMedia(FP6-001765) projects.

The source code is available at the project's SVN repository page on SouceForge:
