Abstract:
Extending beyond the borders of culture, art, and science, the search for digital information is one of the major challenges of our time. Digital libraries, bio-computing & medical science, the Internet, streaming video, databases, cultural heritage collections and peer-2-peer networks have created a worldwide need for new paradigms and techiques on how to browse, search, and summarize multimedia collections.
This course focusses on the area of searching and retrieving multimedia information from digital databases and collections. Examples of multimedia would be X-Ray and MRI scans, general photos, and video.
Requirements: Willingness to learn or already know C, C++ programming languages
Grading:
(Class participation is part of the grading. As this is a seminar,
