POLYSEMA MPEG-7 Video Annotator
The tool developed for annotating video files using the MPEG-7 MDS part and Semantic Web ontologies is available as open source software from
SourceForge.net. Some screenshots can be seen below:
Video Summarization
A video summarization algorithm that creates informative trailers based on the video subtitles has been developed.
A sample video can be found here (provided by Lumiere Cosmos Communications). The produced trailer can be found here.
Note: Due to the encoding scheme used, the videos are best displayed with the mplayer software.

Ontology Learning
In the context of POLYSEMA, an algorithm for ontology learning from video subtitles has been developed. A sample ontology may be found here.
This ontology refers to the video (titled "The price of war") that can be downloaded from the Video Summarization section above.
