Abstract

Semantic Web technology is being increasingly applied in a large spectrum of applications in which domain knowledge is conceptualized and formalized (e.g., by means of an ontology) in order to support diversified and automated knowledge processing (e.g., reasoning) performed by a machine. Moreover, through an optimal combination of (cognitive) human reasoning and (automated) machine reasoning and processing, it is possible for humans and machines to share complementary tasks. The spectrum of applications is extremely large and to name a few: corporate portals and knowledge manage-ment, e-commerce, e-work, e-business, healthcare, e-government, natural language understanding and automated translation, information search, data and services integration, social networks and collaborative filtering, knowledge mining, business intelligence and so on. From a social and economic perspective, this emerging technology should contribute to growth in economic wealth, but it must also show clear cut value for everyday activities through technological transparency and efficiency. The penetration of Semantic Web technology in industry and in services is progressing slowly but accelerating as new success stories are reported. In this paper and lecture we present ongoing work in the cross-fertilization between industry and academia. In particular, we present a collection of application fields and use cases from enterprises which are interested in the promises of Semantic Web technology. The use cases are detailed and focused on the key knowledge processing components that will unlock the deployment of the technology in the selected application field. The paper ends with the presentation of the current technology roadmap designed by a team of Academic and Industry researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

31. WATERMARKED DIGITAL IMAGES

Author

MOTOROLA LTD, HOBSON PAOLA MARCELLA, and TAY LAI HOCK

Subjects
G06T1/00
Abstract

A tamper detection method for digital images comprises providing a digitally watermarked image; digitally processing at least some watermarked parts of the image to obtain confidence values, and using the confidence values to provide an indication as to the likelihood that the image has been tampered with. A method of establishing the confidence values is disclosed.

Abstract

The article focuses on image restoration technology which has evolved significantly in a short span of time. It states that image restoration is crucial for broadcasters, producers, and content owners as viewers are becoming discriminating due to the arrival of high definition (HD) programming and displays. It adds that there is a high demand for classic films which require comprehensive restoration. It also discusses the advanced restoration and compression techniques.

Abstract

Using scalable coding technology the multimedia content can be easily made accessible on different display terminals connected through heterogeneous channels, as scalable bitstreams can be seamlessly adapted according to the network restrictions and/or terminal properties. To make the adaptation process coding format-independent, a XML description of the bitstream scalable structure is created. Then, the adaptation is performed on the XML description and an adapted bitstream is generated from the adapted XML description. In this paper techniques used in scalable video coding, bitstream descriptions and XML as well as extractor based adaptation of scalable video bitstreams are presented.
