Abstract

TA2 (Together Anywhere, Together Anytime),
pronounced "tattoo", aims at defining
end-to-end systems for the development and delivery of new, creative
forms of
interactive, immersive, high quality media experiences for groups of
users such
as households and families. The overall
vision of TA2 can be summarised as "making communications and engagement
easier
among groups of people separated in space and time".

One of the key components
of TA2 is a set of generic and reliable audio, video,
and multimodalities integration and recognition tools. This includes
automatic
extraction of cues from raw data streams. The running TA2 project
stresses
low-level "instantaneous" cues; it does not deal with semantic-aware
integration of contextual information which could significantly improve
the
quality of cues.



The proposed TA2
project extension focuses on the medium-level (context-aware) cues
taking into
account not only low-level analysis outputs but also contextual
information, e.g.,
about the activated scenario. The created semantic cues will be used by
the TA2
system to orchestrate (i.e. frame, crop and represent) the audio-visual
elements
of the interaction between people.



The addition of
BUT to the consortium will allow the semantic relevance of the metadata
extracted from the analysis to be interpreted within the particular
contexts
described in the project. This will make the subsequent orchestration of
the
video more effective and more efficient and hence improve the end-user
experience. The extension will enable building better applications that
help
families to interact easily and openly through games, through improved
semi
automatic production and publication of user generated content, and
through
enhanced ambient connectedness between families.
