Sorry for the delay I started this post. I am going to respond asap to any comments you may post here, because I am strongly interested in many opinions on how to offer best technology for multimedia search in the Internet.
Just a brief (you may skip it to avoid wasting time on such details): I have started a company www.recogmission.com to make the multimedia search possible without typing letters. The company is not too big at this moment (less than 30 highly experienced gentlemen and ladies), but very active and I hope it will success.
The core question we are attempting to answer is a pretty know issue: it is better to see something once, than listen to its descriptions 100 times. The Internet search is fully depends on texts at this moment. In order to find something, you have to describe it in words. Search engines take your words and just calculate how many times they can be found in some resources, and what is the popularity ratio of those resources. I bet you know about difficulties of the process of finding the information. Too many resources with words and without sense, too complicated process of putting the correct query, too much time to understand the content from the long texts on websites, etc. Another problem is how to find non-text content? The contemporary search engines give you the answer: please provide us the text description and we will find pictures (video, music) described by your words. Again. Textual description. Can you really provide a description of the picture below to identify it in the net?
The problem is that text is just the formal representation of the World. In real life you are thinking by images, patterns, continuously.
We are developing the system which recognizes multimedia content dividing it into set of objects. At this moment, we process static images at http://www.picollator.com/ . Picollator finds pictures by human faces found in them, because face is one of the most popular objects in multimedia. Finally, 90% around us is about people, isn’t it? :) We made this quite complex pattern recognition and indexing system in order to demonstrate that words are not enough and that pictures speak by themselves.
So, please provide you comments on this topic if you found it interesting.
