Abstract

Human-Centered Computing (HCC) is a set of methodologies that apply to any field that uses computers, in any form, in applications in which humans directly interact with devices or systems that use computer technologies. This tutorial takes a holistic view on the research issues and applications of Human-Centered Multimedia Systems focusing on three main areas: (1)multimodal interaction: visual (body, gaze, gesture) and audio (emotion)analysis; (2) image databases, indexing, and retrieval: context modeling, cultural issues, and machine learning for user-centric approaches; (3)multimedia data: conceptual analysis at different levels (feature, cognitive, and affective). This paper gives a brief overview of the areas covered in the tutorial.
