The grant will support research to develop advanced methods for
analyzing videos that are growing explosively on the Web. The tools to
be developed in this project will dramatically increase the ease and
success of analyzing large multimedia collections by representing the
media content in terms of a unique set of joint audio-visual signatures
that allow videos to be matched and classified according to their
salient properties. The results will have broad applications in open
source video search, anomalous event detection, and forensics.
