Grant: Idea to Innovation

The objective of this research work as well as some of the current technologies is to ensure that the best possible multimedia content is provided to the end user with appropriate filtering in place. Our intention is to make the content analysis project automated with minimal human intervention. Although to date, no significant marketing efforts have been carried out for this opportunity, we intend to do so, in order to develop the technology into a viable prototype. The system we are proposing will be built using novel intelligent multimedia signal processing algorithms developed in Ryerson University's Signal Analysis Research (SAR) Group, which are state-of-art and capable of producing better results than currently available in content analytics. The system has been tested with few representative multimedia signals (image, audio and video) and this would be cross-validated with a wide variety of multimedia databases. Thus the possibility of commercializing our technology is strong and meets the challenges of the growing market.
