MPII Joint Project Goals & ideas: department 1
Goals • cross departmental collaboration • strong outside visibility • external funding (DFG, VW-Stiftung?) • work packages / responsibilities • proposal within six months • duration ~ two years • spin off
Ideas • Shape retrieval • Peer2Peer photo repository
Shapes Entertainment Medical Biology Engineering / CAD
Objectives • partial matching • matching of complementary shapes relevant for docking? • support for all kinds of shapes CAD models (sharp features), bio-molecules (flexibility, conformations), … • shape semantics (tagging, tag inference, …) • infra structure index to support multiple similarity measures, …

Peer2Peer Photo Repository • the old days: • take a few photographs, develop, label and store them • show them to a few friends in the evening • nowadays: • digicams a lot more photographs are taken • photographs are mostly stored on a computer • very often remain unorganized (due to sheer amount) • images are shared via the internet in photo communities
Peer2Peer Photo Repository • 1st Goal: automated organization of photos • avoid manual interaction if possible -- just download them from the digicam, and they're categorized (according to subject) • allow for similarity search, e.g., display all images showing Kurt • 2nd Goal: Peer2Peer image sharing • make whole portfolio online available • allow P2P searches for similar images • market place for photographs ...
Research Questions • similarity search based on image sequences • image search in P2P networks • automatic categorization/tagging of images • popularity-based caching of images • serialized watermarking of images
Similar Projects • Photo sharing communities like fotocommunity.de, photosig.com, flickr.com • do not scale due to centralization • unsatisfactory retrieval functionality • Image organizers like Picasa • no image sharing • manual categorization/tagging of images • Most related project: riya.com (Stanford spinoff) • allows for automated tagging • centralized webservice, though
