ICMR 2013 - ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval

Effectively and efficiently retrieving information based on user needs is one of the most exciting areas in multimedia research. The Annual ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR) offers a great opportunity for exchanging leading-edge multimedia retrieval ideas among researchers, practitioners and other potential users of multimedia retrieval systems. This conference, puts together the long-lasting experience of former ACM CIVR and ACM MIR series, is set up to illuminate the state of the arts in multimedia (text, image, video and audio) retrieval.
ICMR 2013 is seeking original high quality submissions addressing innovative research in
the broad field of multimedia retrieval. We wish to highlight significant contributions
addressing the main problem of search and retrieval but also the related and equally
important issues of multimedia content management, user interaction, and communitybased management. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
? Content- and context-based indexing, search and retrieval of images and video
? Multimedia content search and browsing on the Web
? Advanced descriptors and similarity metrics for audio, image, video and 3D data
? Multimedia content analysis and understanding
? Semantic retrieval of visual contents
? Learning and relevance feedback in media retrieval
? Query models, paradigms, and languages for multimedia retrieval
? Multimodal media search
? Human perception based multimedia retrieval
? Studies of information-seeking behavior among image/video users
? Affective/emotional interaction or interfaces for image/video retrieval
? HCI issues in multimedia retrieval
? Evaluation of multimedia retrieval systems
? High performance multimedia indexing algorithms
? Database architectures for multimedia retrieval
? Novel multimedia data management systems and applications
? Community-based multimedia content management
? Retrieval from multimodal life logs
? Interaction with medical image databases
? Satellite imagery analysis/retrieval
? Image/video summarization and visualization
