Multimedia Information Systems

Introduction

The course multimedia information aims to give an overview on multimedia information retrieval, multimedia databases and multimedia metadata. The course also took place in summer semesters in previous years. You can find a page and all the slides of the former courses, like here. A large part of the course is based on the book "Visual Information Retrieval with Java and LIRE" by M. Lux and O. Marques (see here)
