|
Blender can be used as a 3D scene modeler, editor,
animator, renderer and Game Engine. This paper
describes how it can be linked to a 3D sound plat
form working within the CLAM framework, making
special emphasis on a speci c application: the recently launched Yo Frankie! open content game for
the Blender Game Engine. The game was hacked
to interact with CLAM, implementing spatial scene
descriptors transmited over the Open Sound Control
protocol, and allowing to experiment with many different spatialization and acoustic simulation algorithms. Further new applications of this Blender-
CLAM integration are also discussed. By Natanael Olaiz, Pau Arumí, Toni Mateos and David Garcia, BM |

| October16, 2008 | Title:
"Being inside the image. Heightening the sense of presence in a video captured environment through artistic means: the case of CREW." |
|
|
This paper explores the use of omni-directional video, a
high impact immersive medium, by a performance group and multi-disciplinary team of artists and scientists. By Nele Wynants, Kurt Vanhoutte, Theatre, Film and Literature Studies, University of Antwerpen and Philippe Bekaert , Expertise Centre for Digital Media, University of Hasselt |
|
| March 23 , 2009 | Title: "Estimating 3D camera motion for rendering audio in virtual scenes" | |
|
In the production phase of digital cinema content it is
important to allow the director not only to preview the final
rendered scene early in the shooting process, but also to
prehear the 5.1 surround and HRTF-based binaural versions,
thus enabling visual and auditive artistic decisions to be taken
at the shooting stage. In many cases camera tracking data is
not available for all cameras on the set (e.g. handheld ones)
and thus the motion of the camera needs to be estimated. In
this paper we describe an approach for estimation of 3D
camera motion and its use for real-time audio rendering. |
|
| September 12 , 2008 | Title: "Cognitive immersion " | |
|
The goal of this paper is to present our research about the

our research plans about how this type of environment should
be helpful for people with special needs, in particular people
with cerebral paralysis. By Elena Parra and Raquel Navarro, BM |
|
| June 22 , 2008 | Title: "Video Enhancement Using Reference Photographs" | |
|
Handheld digital video cameras have become increasingly
popular and cheaper in recent years. Even still cameras
offer additional functionality for shooting videos. Unfortunately,
the small form factor of these devices limits the light ensitivity,
and often the the lens and sensor do not allow for satisfactory image
quality. We wish to process a video into a
more aesthetically pleasing version, by borrowing information from
high quality reference photographs of the same scene. Since the
process of taking a photograph is not time-critical, we can afford
a longer exposure for reducing noise, and record more information
to increase resolution. By Cosmin Ancuti, Tom Haber, Tom Mertens, Philippe Bekaert, Hasselt University |
|
| June 22 , 2008 | Title: "Eunomia: Toward a Framework for Multi-touch Information Displays in Public Spaces" | |
|
Multi-touch interaction techniques are becoming more
widespread because of new industrial initiatives to make
this hardware available and affordable for the consumer
market. To cope with the diversity in hardware setups and
the lack of knowledge about developing generic multitouch
applications, we created a framework, Eunomia, for
abstracting the hardware from the software and to enable
software developers to easily develop interactive
applications taking advantage of multi-touch interaction. By Tom Cuypers, Jan Schneider, Johannes Taelman, Kris Luyten, Philippe Bekaert, Hasselt University |

| December 9, 2009 | Title: "Metadata for Creation and Distribution of Multi-view Video" | |
|
This paper reviews
the metadata requirements for multi-view video content and analyze
how well these requirements are covered in existing metadata standards,
both in terms of the coverage of metadata elements and the capabilities
to structurally describe multi-view video content. Workshop on Semantic Multimedia Database Technologies (SeMuDaTe) By Bailer W., Höffernig M. JRS |
|
| December 9 , 2009 | Title: "Formal Metadata Semantics for Interoperability in the Audiovisual Media Production Process" | |
|
Di erent metadata formats and standards are used in the stages of
the process, containing metadata properties with similar and partly overlapping
semantics, though not fully identical. We attempt to model the
metadata properties used throughout the production process in a format
independent way by creating an ontology that models these properties and the relations between them. By Höffernig M., Bailer W, JRS |
|
| December 12 , 2009 | Title: "How to Align Media Metadata Schemas? Design and Implementation of the Media Ontology" | |
|
Multimedia data is generated, shared, stored and distributed
worldwide at an ever increasing rate. This huge amount of content comes
with metadata represented in different formats which hardly interoperate
although they partially overlap. By Florian Stegmaier1, Werner Bailer2, Tobias B¨urger3, et al., JRS |

|
| November 2 , 2009 | Title: "Comparing Fact Finding Tasks and User Survey for Evaluating a Video Browsing Tool" | |
|
In the multimedia
information retrieval community evaluations following the
Cranfield paradigm (as e.g. used in TRECVID) have been
widely adopted. We have applied two TRECVID style fact
finding approaches (retrieval and question answering tasks)
and a user survey to the evaluation of a video browsing tool. By Werner Bailer and Herwig Rehatschek, JRS |
|
| December 17 , 2009 | Title: "A Video Browsing Tool for Content Management in Post-production" | |
|
We propose an interactive video browsing tool for supporting content management and selection in postproduction. The approach is based on a process model for multimedia content abstraction. A software framework based on this process model and desktop and Web-based client applications are presented.
