Abstract
In light of three dimensional object retrieval evolving from text annotation to content-based and from standalone applications to web-based search engines, the creation of a search engine for 3D and multimedia distributed content into P2P and mobile P2P networks, is proposed. Driven by the very successful concept of Wikipedia, the first goal of the proposed project is to create the first distributed Visual Object Repository in which any peer can contribute to. The main differences between VICTORY and any known knowledge repository, is that, firstly, any visual information will be described as MultiPedia object (3D object along with its accompanied information - 2D views, text, audio, video), and secondly, the distributed nature of the repository. VICTORY's main objective is to create a MultiPedia search engine based on the 3D objects. The user will be able to use as input any Multipedia object or a combination of them. The retrieved content will contain 3D objects and their accompanied mixed-media and it will be accessible from both mobile devices and standard PCs. \nThe search engine will be based on a combination of novel algorithms able to extract 3D low- level geometric features and high-level semantic features using relevance feedback and annotation techniques which are expected to improve significantly the retrieved results. \nFurthermore, the search engine will be enriched by multimodal personalized interfaces so as to take into account the users' interests and to offer capabilities of matching between 2D/3D objects, sketches and text. \nIn conclusion, the VICTORY project aims at developing: \nDistributed 3D content and context-based search engine, \nP2P and Mobile P2P collaborative network, \nUnified distributed access, \nCommunity neighbourhood identification, \n3D visualization on handheld devices, \nMultimodal interfaces (text, 2D images, sketches, 3D), \nCopyright protection.
