ATLAS

The central tenet of the project was that the extraction of event and place semantics as well as the exploitation of visitor preferences will leverage cross-media/multimedia information retrieval and recommendation for e-tourism. ATLAS utilized such information in multimedia semantic analysis to enhance location-based multimedia services, object detection/recognition, and media description/presentation with cultural/region difference.

Our team contributions were in the design and development of adequate algorithms for spatio-temporal information retrieval, their implementation as web-services, that support content discovery, review, annotation and geo-tagging, using Semantic Web techniques and standards as SPARQL and OAI/PMH.
