ICMR 2011 - ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval

he First ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR), puts together the long-lasting experience of former ACM CIVR and ACM MIR. It is the ideal forum to present and encounter the most recent developments and applications in the area of multimedia content retrieval. Originally set up to illuminate the state-of-the-art in image and video retrieval, ICMR aims at becoming the world reference event in this exciting field of research, where researchers and practitioners can exchange knowledge and ideas.

ICMR 2011 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 community-based 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 behaviour 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 lifelogs
Interaction with medical image databases
Satellite imagery analysis/retrieval
Image/video summarization and visualization
