"Introduction for Intermedia Modelling" J.P. Chevallet - IPAL
I will introduce this meeting by raising some questions about multi-media analysis. The first is managing several media for a single goal, like indexing, scene understanding. Second I will discuss the notion of reasoning versus statistical computations. This leads to the notion of semantics. Beside the question of whether semantics is added or extracted from media, this is what all research tends to reach: having some results from a computation that seems to have some meaning. Finally, I end up with the feasibility of a common model that cross modality and applications: is it an impossible dream?

"Analysis of multimodality" Thomas Martin - MICA Center
In this presentation, we analyse the relations between the different modalities (audio, video, text, ...) and their effects on a multi-modal content analysis. First, we define the modalities and their relationships. Next, we apply this to three different example applications. Finally, we present some related work in progress at MICA and proposal of future collaborations inside the ISERE project.

"From Visual Data to Semantics" Monique Thonnat - INRIA Sophia
The goal of this talk is to provide some material for the discussion on Semantics, Ontology, Reasoning versus Probabilty session

"Two proposals for unification"  Mun Kew - I2R
The purpose is to look at two potential applications which are pre-competitive with the hope that ISERE members may be interested in working in these areas

"On Constructing Intelligent Environment Using Computer Vision Technology" Yi-Ping Hung - NTU
One of the major research focuses in the vision group (IPPR lab - http://ippr.csie.ntu.edu.tw:8080/index.html ) of the i-Space Labs (http://mll.csie.ntu.edu.tw/ispace.htm) has been on visual surveillance and monitoring, with applications on i-Secure (access monitoring of secure areas) and i-Care (activity monitoring for home care). With the previous experience on camera network and its calibration for 3D inference, and on human detection, tracking, and recognition, we would like to seek possible cooperation on recognition of human activity with semantics and reasoning.
