In multimedia community, multimedia content such as TV news, sports, movies have been mainly the target of the research and development. In addition to those traditional public ones, personal multimedia content is growing rapidly with advances in technology in computers, storage, sensors and networking. Affordable methods for capture, store and retrieval of human activities become available, and our life are digitized by many different ways. Personal cameras, camera installed mobile phones, and surveillance cameras are widely in use and produce a large amount of multimedia data. Not only audio-visual sensors but also various sensors such as motion sensors, acceleration sensors and RFIDs etc, give rise to many different types of data which reflect human activities.
