Objective
European museums and galleries are culturally rich but public access has not reached its full potential. Digital multimedia can address these issues and expand the accessible collections. However, there is a lack of systems and techniques for the professional to provide access to citizens. The objectives of the project are to research, develop and demonstrate an integrated art analysis and navigation environment. The target end users are researchers, historians, publishers and course content creators for the fine arts. The project will research and develop advanced image content analysis algorithms, automatic indexing through metadata generation, distributed access to multiple collections and advanced navigation methods. Results will be: a fully integrated prototype analysis environment; recommendations for exploiting the project solution by European museums and galleries; and recommendations for exploiting the technology in other sectors.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
The partners will:
* research and develop advanced image content analysis techniques for digitised works of art;
* develop techniques to automatically categorise art works using these algorithms;
* develop metadata representations for image categorisation;
* develop seamless distributed access to multiple collections;
* develop distributed content-based navigation methods for art collections;
* build a robust and scalable integrated environment that incorporates the above components using an object-relational database;
* develop a report on the impact on standards detailing augmentations of Z39.50 with RDF
* establish business models that give the content owners direct control over the distributed representation, access and exploitation of digital multimedia content and metadata;
* identify how the technical systems developed in the project can be deployed and exploited in a number of sectors. The partners will promote the project through a complementary set of dissemination actions.
MILESTONES
The developments made in the project will be implemented as a series of three prototypes and a final system. At each stage, a programme of evaluation work will be performed. The expected result will be a system in which electronic representations of works of art can be stored, queried in a variety of ways and navigated to support selection and analysis.
