About VITALAS
Project overview
Related Information
- VITALAS is a use-case driven project that aims at providing a pre-industrial prototype system dedicated to intelligent access services to multimedia professional archives that would provide the consumer with new technological functionalities.
- VITALAS will provide advanced solution for indexing, searching and accessing large scale of non previously (or partly) annotated content.
- VITALAS will also seek to make novel contributions in cross-media (audio/speech, video, image, text) indexing and content enrichment, and will use different interactive retrieval methods (query refinement with log files, RFB, context adaptation).
- VITALAS has contributed to the development of the Open-source Multimedia Information Processing Platform WebLab

The VITALAS project officially ended on March 31 2010.
The Video & image Indexing and reTrievAl in the LArge Scale project is no longer active. VITALAS (2007-2010) aimed to deliver a reliable and efficient pre-industrial prototype, allowing intelligent access to large multimedia professional archives, by addressing three major challenges:
- corss-media indexing (automatic annotation) and retrieval;
- large-scale search techniques; and
- visualization and context adaptation.
The project planned to deliver a pre-industrial search engine designed and validated by audiovisual professionals exhibiting functionalities that would allow interactive indexing and semi-automatic annotation, with interactive and personalized access to large-scale multimedia content resources. Having met all of the objectives, research and technology highlights of the VITALAS project include:
- Visual similarity search: functionality implemented according to VITALAS use case scenarios, including global similarity to an uploaded image across 20 million images;
- Cross-media (Concept, textual, visual) access with fused search including keyword suggestions;
- AV access to news videos, raw video structuring and exploration through video markers detection and annotations; automatic structuring and visualization of news content;
- Media content description & scalability including: similarity search on 1M images and 16,000 hours of video; local search on 100,000 images; speech search on 2,000 hours.
