VICTORY Objectives

  • To develop an innovative, distributed search engine that will introduce mixed-media (MultiPedia) search and retrieval capabilities to a standard (PC-based) and a mobile P2P network. The 3D search engine will be based on:
    • Content, which will be extracted from low-level geometric characteristics, and
    • Context, which will be high-level features (semantic concepts) mapped to low-level features.
  • To provide a solution so as to bridge the gap between low and high-level information through automated knowledge discovery and extraction mechanisms. High level features will be based on:
    • Appropriate annotation mechanisms provided by the system or generated by the user dynamically, and
    • Relevance feedback, where the user marks which retrieved objects were relevant to the query (user subjectivity).
  • To deal with the problems raised from the visualization and rendering of “heavyweight” 3D data on mobile devices. Graphics workstations of specialized cluster peers are envisioned to undertake this load, taking advantage of the shared computational power of each peer.
