			Document Image Classification
 			      Video Processing
		      Multimedia Information Extraction


The Language and Media Processing Laboratory is seeking two qualified
CS and EE graduate students (MS or PhD) to work on projects relating
to multimedia information extraction.


Video Indexing and Retrieval
----------------------------

Description: The development of methods related to the segmentation,
characterization, indexing and retrieval of video and multimedia information
sources.  Specific tasks may include for example, extraction of text from
video frames, integrating speech and closed caption signals for indexing and
retrieval, developing temporal scene representations by analysis of
key-frames and classification of video by type.

          Dr. David Doermann (doermann@cfar.umd.edu)



Document Image Classification
-----------------------------

Description: The development of algorithms for indexing large heterogeneous
collections of document images.  Specific objectives include the
segmentation, enhancement and characterization of degraded binary, gray-scale
and color document images, classification of documents at the zone and page
levels, techniques for indexing based on image features and integrating
linguistic keys for indexing.

For students working in these areas should have some experience with C or C++
and Unix familiarity is a must.  Other positions are available for Java
Programmers, HCI researchers and Multi-lingual IR.

If you are interested in either of these areas send a comprehensive vita by
email.
