MAVIS 2: an architecture for content and concept based multimedia information exploration

DEMONSTRATION ABSTRACT We are currently developing an open architecture that supports content based multimedia information exploration. MAVIS 2 (Multimedia Architecture for Video, Image and Sound, the second system by that name) aims to provide integrated content and concept based navigation, retrieval and browsing within and between multimedia objects in several media types[l]. It is designed to allow a user to make selections from media that they are viewing and form a query. The scope of the query governs the range of searching and the type of results that will be returned. The scope can include retrieval, in which case similar objects are returned to the user and it can include navigation, in which case links with similar source anchors to the selection are returned.
