  • Publikation: Smart Content Factory – Assisting Search for Digital Objects by Generic Linking Concepts to Multimedia Content

    Search, retrieval and navigation in audiovisual repositories is a task common to all media asset management systems: Users are supported by a wide range of features which are traditionally based on full text search and metadata queries. In this paper we describe an approach to superimpose a semantic indexing infrastructure over the media assets and the metadata associated with them. The infrastructure is based on formal knowledge models and facilitates the use of further navigation dimensions: By identifying semantic concepts we are able to create a dynamic navigation structure which is based on the underlying knowledge model and the conceptual relations defined therein.

  • Publikation: Familie inter@ktiv

    […] durch Benutzung von Computersystemen bewältigt. Während die neuen Medien für Kinder und Jugendliche oft schon zum Alltag gehören, bringen Computer, Videospiele und Multimedia für viele Eltern Probleme mit sich. Viele Eltern müssen erst die eigene Scheu vor dem Computer abbauen. Ein geeigneter Weg kann sein, sich gemeinsam mit den Kindern mit dem Computer zu beschäftigen und seine sinnvolle Nutzung erlernen. Der Computer ist keine hinterhältige Maschine, sondern tut nur das, was man ihm “sagt”. Eltern stellen sich Fragen wie: Wird mein Kind nur noch vor dem Computer sitzen? Machen Computerspiele aggressiv? Wie kann das Internet von meinem Kind sinnvoll genutzt werden? Als eine Hilfestellung für Eltern werden diese und andere Fragen in diesem Folder von Fachleuten beantwortet. Es gibt bereits viele praktische Informationen z.B. über “wie komme ich ins Internet”. Hier sollen die pädagogischen Aspekte im Vordergrund stehen. Familie inter@ktiv.

  • Publikation: (e-)Accessibility Research from the Perspective of the Tourism, Sport and Leisure Industries

    This paper presents selected research results of the project “Accessible Sport Regions” and outlines the future (e-)accessibility research initiatives within the e-Motion competence centre. Based on the empirical research, the project establishes a relation between the considerable accessibility market and the relatively small number of current tourists with disabilities in the region of Salzburg, indicating large unexploited potentials. According to experts, even moderate investments in accessible services and infrastructure could yield high returns. A disproportion between the provision of and demand for accessible infrastructure will be discussed. To provide an insight into the nature of measures for an tourism industry accessible to people with disabilities, the barriers from the perspective of tourists with disabilities across the tourism service-chain were analyzed.

  • Projekt: myTV – my Semantically Enhanced Personalized TV Experience

    myTV’s aim is to support Austrian IPTV providers to reach the next level in the Internet TV evolution by providing methods and tools that lower the hurdles for content and infrastructure providers. The outcome of myTV is both relevant for Europe and Austria. The outcomes of the myTV project open new and larger markets to the consortium partners and other companies that are concerned with the next generation of personalized TV solutions in Austria and Europe. Intelligent digital TV is a growing industry sector of the entertainment industry and Europe’s most important broadcasters and telecommunication providers have launched or will launch Internet TV services in the near future. Participation in this global market is a significant source of revenue for Austrian infrastructure providers in general and the content providers in particular in order for them to remain competitive. The IPTV market evolution offers numer-ous new possibilities as content can be accessed through different terminals […]

  • Publikation: Wearable-based estimation of continuous 3D knee moments during running using a convolutional neural network

    This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning method to estimate continuous 3D knee moments during running from wearable sensor data. Reference knee moments were calculated from 19 recreational runners during treadmill running at varying slopes (0 ± 5 % incline), speeds (self-selected ± 1 km/h) and in 3 types of footwear. A convolutional neural network was trained on data from 7 inertial measuring units (feet, shanks, thighs, sacrum) and a pair of pressure insoles. We assessed performance over continuous time windows (CONT) and during stance phases (PHSS) by intraclass-correlation (ICC), normalised root mean squared error (nRMSE), and statistical parametric mapping. The agreement levels in the sagittal plane were good to excellent (ICC: 0.84–0.98), with low errors (nRMSE: 0.05–0.11). However, accuracy was lower for non-sagittal estimations (frontal ICC: 0.19–0.90, nRMSE: 0.08–0.23; transverse ICC: 0.72–0.94, nRMSE: 0.07–0.17). Accuracy decreased across all planes during PHSS. The proposed approach yields similar or better accuracy compared to […]
