Multimedia content analysis and understanding;
Content-based browsing, indexing and retrieval of images, video and
audio;
Content-based copy detection;
Emotional based content classification and organization;
2D/3D feature extraction;
Advanced descriptors and similarity metrics for audio and video;
Relevance feedback and learning systems;
Segmentation of objects in 2D/3D image sequences;
Motion analysis and tracking;
Video analysis and event recognition;
