Abstract
Multimedia communication systems are combining multiple information modalities, particularly audiovisual information (speech/audio/sound/image/video/graphics), abstracted (text), and other perceptible (e.g. odor, smell or tactile) information. Communication may target exchange of information between persons, between persons and machines, or between machines only. In this context, content analysis and identification is highly important for automatic user assistance and interactivity. This chapter introduces basic concepts, terminology, and applications for content-aware processing of audiovisual signal sources.
