Abstract

A novel interface system for accessing geospatial data (GeoMIP) has been developed that realizes a user-centered multimodal speech/gesture interface for addressing some of the critical needs in crisis management. In this system we primarily developed vision sensing algorithms, speech integration, multimodality fusion, and rule-based mapping of multimodal user input to GIS database queries. A demo system of this interface has been developed for the Port Authority NJ/NY and is explained here.
