Jean Monnet (France) This conference is intended as a forum for discussing technologies, applications, and challenges of placing imaging information on the Internet and interacting with it. Special attention will be given to papers describing new applications or presenting well argumented vision statements on potentially revolutionary applications for images and video on the Internet, and on how these applications will take advantage of the opportunities and deal with the challenges of the medium.Papers are solicited in the following areas: ^U Languages for the description of multimedia data ^U Languages for transmitting, displaying, and interacting with imaging data ^U Video summarization and segmentation for Internet access ^U Data modeling and representation ^U Content-based retrieval of images and video on the Internet ^U Evaluation of imaging systems ^U Database techniques for content-based search on the internet ^U Principles of experimental evaluation of internet imaging systems ^U Evaluation of practical Internet imaging systems ^U standards for image and video data (SVG, SMIL, MPEG-7,...) ^U Image transmission ^U Image-based user interfaces ^U Telepresence ^U Applications: education, telemedicine, cultural heritage, digital libraries, collaborative systems,... ^U Multimedia presentation on the Internet: media integration, presentation, management, authoring ^U Web cameras: their impact on video analysis technology, applications ^U Social and legal issues for images on the Internet, including intellectual property, content rating, watermarking, authentication, non-repudiation, internalization, and varying cultural perception of content ^U Interactive image creation for the Internet: artistic expression. Internet Imaging is the host for the Benchathlon event (<http://www.benchathlon.net/>), an open collaboration for research on the performance analysis of content based image retrieval systems (CBIRS). Topics of interest include but are not limited to annotation & ground truthing, communication protocols, user models, performance metrics, and benchmark protocols. A fast Internet connection will be available in the conference room.
