TL;DR: In this paper, a system that performs analysis and comparison of audio data files based upon the content of the data files is presented, which produces a set of numeric values (a feature vector) that can be used to classify and rank the similarity between individual audio files typically stored in a multimedia database or on the Web.
Abstract: A system that performs analysis and comparison of audio data files based upon the content of the data files is presented. The analysis of the audio data produces a set of numeric values (a feature vector) that can be used to classify and rank the similarity between individual audio files typically stored in a multimedia database or on the World Wide Web. The analysis also facilitates the description of user-defined classes of audio files, based on an analysis of a set of audio files that are members of a user-defined class. The system can find sounds within a longer sound, allowing an audio recording to be automatically segmented into a series of shorter audio segments.

TL;DR: In this article, a database search system that retrieves multimedia information in a flexible, user friendly system is presented, which uses a multimedia database consisting of text, picture, audio, and animated data.
Abstract: A database search system that retrieves multimedia information in a flexible, user friendly system. The search system uses a multimedia database consisting of text, picture, audio and animated data. That database is searched through multiple graphical and textual entry paths. Those entry paths include an idea search, a title finder search, a topic tree search, a picture explorer search, a history timeline search, a world atlas search, a researcher's assistant search, and a feature articles search.

6 Oct 1997TL;DR: In this paper, a system for managing multimedia objects such as text, images, sound, and video clips is presented, and a user interface is defined for allowing a user to obtain a thumbnail view of images in multimedia objects, simply by sliding a mouse cursor over database entry pointing of the image.
Abstract: A system for managing multimedia objects such as text, images, sound, and video clips. The system provides improved organization of multimedia objects, through use of albums organized into collections of albums. In addition, improved printout of multimedia objects through user-activateable selection of particular fields from a multimedia database to accompany printouts of multimedia objects. A user interface is defined for allowing a user to obtain a thumbnail view of images in multimedia objects, simply by sliding a mouse cursor over database entry pointing of the image. In addition, a unique architecture of a system for managing multimedia objects is described.
