VisHMC 2014 - Workshop on the Visualization of Heterogeneous Multimedia Content(VisHMC)

Most of the time when we speak of multimedia corpora, we think of homogeneous datasets consisting of either audio files, videos or sensor data. In recent years, however, we could observe the creation of more and more heterogeneous corpora that consist of data from different sources and of different modality. A typical example are visual lifelogs, i.e., private data collections consisting of large numbers of automatically recorded images, video snippets and accompanying sensor streams. Visualizing such heterogeneous and often large multimedia corpora raise novel challenges that cannot easily be addressed by existing visualization methodologies that have been developed for homogeneous datasets. However, not only visualizing but also browsing such multimedia corpora is a challenging task that needs new interaction and filtering methods in addition to textual queries. This workshop aims to provide a platform for multimedia practitioners and researchers to discuss emerging research trends in this field.
The workshop will focus on the following topics of interest (but not limited to):
Artful displays
Content summarization and data linkage ? visualization in 3D
Context and concept-dependent visualization
Graphical user interfaces for visualization of heterogeneous datasets
Image and video browsing
Interactive visualization
Privacy-preserving visualization
Quality enhancement
Spatio-temporal visualization
Stream-based visualization (e.g., of Big Data)
Systems, applications, services and implementations
Visualization of multimedia content from social events
Visualization of image and video collections
