Thursday, Stratis and me had the first project meeting of our IM-pact project in Deurne, Belgium. The IM-pact project strives for international collaboration between the Netherlands and Flanders on the topic of Dutch visual, speech- en language culture. On the sub-theme of semi-automatic extraction, storage and retrieval of visual data, we have teamed up with Sebastian Zimmer, Tinne Tuytelaars, and Luc Van Gool from KU Leuven in the BeeldCanon project. The purpose of the meeting was to introduce the different projects, four in total, and to socialize with the different team members. The project has an interesting set of sub-projects, in addition to the BeeldCanon project covering (Dutch) speech analysis, user aspects of retrieval in cultural heritage archives, and legal aspects of intellectual property rights related to multimedia. The meeting was organized by IBBT and ictRegie who took good care of the social aspects, including a wine tasting session and a cooking workshop, see the attached action shot of Stratis. It was a succesful day, looking forward to the next meeting.
