- Open Video Project
The purpose of the Open Video Project is to collect and make available a repository of digitized video content for the digital video, multimedia retrieval, digital library, and other research communities. Researchers can use the video to study a wide range of problems, such as tests of algorithms for automatic segmentation, summarization, and creation of surrogates that describe video content; the development of face recognition algorithms; or creating and evaluating interfaces that display result sets from multimedia queries. Because researchers attempting to solve similar problems will have access to the same video content, the repository is also intended to be used as a test collection that will enable systems to be compared, similar to the way the TREC conferences are used for text retrieval.
- Lectures Archive
This site catalgues video and audio lectures on academic topics according to discipline, theoretician and topic.
Most of the material here is from universities or radio stations. Links to various sites from which this material has been culled are availabe under "general sites." There are also some general sites for the specific disciplines listed under those discipline rubrics.
Some of the links are directly to the video or audio data, others are to pages where the data must be sought. Both on this site and on numerous of the linked sites, you'll be well served by using your windows' search function. As always with classifications, there is a certain amount of ambiguity involved.
