Mobile media search: has media search finally found its perfect platform? part II

Recently, many exciting media search applications have been introduced to take advantage of smart phones' audiovisual capture capabilities and their being always on and connected. These applications address a real pain point for most mobile users and allow them to search with minimal text entry, if any. Is the mobile platform an ideal fit for media search? Are audio and visual signal processing technologies sufficiently accurate to support most mobile search applications? What are the killer applications of mobile media search? Earlier in 2009 at ICASSP, a panel on this topic stirred up great interest and enthusiasm while leaving many questions untouched due to the limited time. In this panel, we continue and expand the discussions on the challenges and potentials of mobile media search, with a different mix in the panel.
