MY-E-DIRECTOR 2012 - Personalized Media Streaming for Broadcasting Applications

MY-E-DIRECTOR 2012 - Real-Time Context-Aware and Personalized Media Streaming Environments for Large Scale Broadcasting Applications, is an FP7-ICT Project. It aims to provide a unique interactive broadcasting service enabling end-users to select focal actors and points of interest within real-time broadcasted scenes, such that the user becomes the director in personalized tailored sports broadcasting. Its innovative features are:

• Novel technologies for identifying and tracking “targets” and scenes of interest
• Mechanisms for mapping the low-level semantics to high-level semantics defining rules for user-driven selection of cameras and tailored streaming
• Advanced personalization mechanisms that hinge on the specification of preferences and profiles, and advanced knowledge representation and learning mechanisms for instantiating and evolving these profiles
• Broadcasting services enabling delivery of personalized streams over a variety of channels and networking infrastructures
