Hi Matthias, The name of our research project is called geo-referenced video search. Nowadays, increasingly more videos are captured with with some camera-equipped mobile phones. These smart phones always have a number of sensors like GPS, compass, accelerometer and etc. In order to facilitate video search, we embed the geo-information collected with these sensors into videos, so that it is easier and more accurate to answer some queries like where the video is collected and what it shows, especially for the tourism videos. This is a on-going project. Previously, our experimental prototype was build based on Google Map. But recently, I come up an idea to improve the way to probe video content with geo-information, which requires more sophisticated geo-data manipulation than what Google Map can provides. Therefore, I resort to OpenStreeMap, where I have more freedom to access and process geo-data. I'm sorry that I cannot provide more detail about the newest development, because it is paper-oriented work, and we need to keep it confidential before publication.

BTW, it's a pity that I'm still not on the people list because I've just moved from another research project here:-S Regards, Zhijie 2011/2/23 Matthias Meißer <[email protected]> > Sounds quite interesting, I'm currently working on > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/VideoMapping > > Can you give me some more details, please? > > regards > Matthias > -- Zhijie Shen School of Computing National University of Singapore <http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/%7Ez-shen/>
