Abstract: Since the introduction of consumer digital cameras, user-created multimedia content has become increasingly popular. Digital cameras, together with inexpensive editing tools, and free hosting sites have made multimedia an integral part of everyday life. Today, hundreds of hours video are uploaded to hosting sites every minute. Video-on-demand through wireless networks and smartphones have profoundly changed how people consume multimedia content. Meanwhile, the widely deployed network cameras can provide live views of many parts of the world. These cameras can provide rich sources creating multimedia content. This panel will explore the opportunities and discuss the challenges using global network cameras for creating multimedia contents and understanding the world.

Every year, millions of network cameras are deployed. The data from some of these network cameras are publicly available, continuously streaming live views of national parks, city halls, streets, highways, and shopping malls. A person may see multiple tourist attractions through these cameras, without leaving home. Researchers may observe the weather in different cities. Using the data from the cameras, it is possible to observe natural disasters, such as volcano eruption or tsunami, at a safe distance. News reporters may obtain instant views of an unfolding riot without risking their lives. A spectator may watch a celebration parade from multiple locations using the street cameras. Despite the many promising applications, the opportunities of using global network cameras for creating multimedia content have not been fully exploited.

Abstract: There have been several rapid advancements in large-scale multimedia computing in the past 5 years. As the sheer volume of online photos and other multimedia data has increased and there have been recent optimizations in deep learning; many industry technologies have become the focus of research, application, and press. However, there is much that remains unsolvable and that is likely beyond industrial reach. In this panel, we aim to illuminate the hard questions for the future as well as discuss the intersections and collaboration opportunities that exist to bridge and grow the vital communities across both academia and industry. Given the vibrant participation from industry, ACMMM is the natural community for industry and academia to jointly explore this intersection topic. A panel with such focus will help ACMMM to continue its preeminent position in leading such fruitful joint efforts. We aim for this panel to be discussion lead with four industry recognized panelists from a diverse background as not to just skew to a single multimedia perspective. The two organizers will carry the conversation and questions forward and invite audience discussion and participation from the start.
