Dear Sir,
we are a French national project on multimedia indexation. We are looking
for partnership in the European programme on "Multimedia applications on
digital sites". We are specially looking for :
* one or several cable operators managing a digital site, possibly in
several sites in Europe
* partners with public interest contents in other languages
* industrial partners from the EU, involved in electronic appliances,
terminals or servers, or in television broadcasting
Sincerely,
Pascal Faudemay & Liming Chen

LOOKING FOR PARTNERSHIP
The TRANSDOC project is a French national project on multimedia indexation.
It is a collaboration between several universities, mainly Universite
Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6), and Universite de Technologie de
Compiegne. The project is funded by the French programme on "Information
Highways", and will deliver a first prototype for video indexation by the
end of 1997.
TRANSDOC is looking for partnership in the European programme on
"Multimedia applications on digital sites". We are setting up a proposal,
which could be driven by another, industrial partner. The goal of our
proposition is to implement a demonstrator of several public interest
applications with a common interface, and a significant sample of users.
Dedicated partners will study the socio-economical aspects of the
demonstrator utilization.
We already have access to several types of video contents, including
cultural, scientific, public interest and video broadcast contents. We
shall also have by the end of 1997 a prototype of the common interface,
which will enable query by content and by examples, cooperative information
filtering, and some virtual or interactive document authoring. We are
looking for :
* one or several cable operators managing a digital site, possibly in
several sites in Europe
* partners with public interest or entertainment contents in other
languages than French
* industrial partners from the EU interested by producing and exploiting
the servers and / or the terminals
One of these partners can become the Prime Partner.

PRESENTATION OF THE TRANSDOC PROJECT
TRANSDOC studies the indexation of structured texts, videos, and virtual
reality sessions. Indexation is based both on the image channel, on the
sound channel, and possibly on the associated text channel (script,
teletext). Query results can compose a new multimedia document (new video,
new presentation, etc...), which is edited by the server. They are accessed
through a Java browser on the Internet or on other networks.
TRANSDOC research domains include :
* video segmentation into sequences or scenes
* classification of images, objects and sounds
* cooperative information filtering through public or group annotations
* multidimensional documents and profiles clustering
* content based information filtering
* optimized utilisation of parallel hardware architectures
