    The paper proposes a conceptual model inspired to semiotic theories, to be applied to the analysis and design of multimedia. We introduce a meta-model with four levels of semantic aggregation. There results a framework of concepts, relations and processes accounting for the multiple meanings that arise from a multimedia text. We explore the effectiveness of the model by considering four commercial clips by the brand Lancôme. Our analysis confirms that the framework is well suited to the analysis, indexing, design of narrative multimedia

    Theia: Open Environment for Multispectral Image Analysis

    No full text
    Preliminary results of Theia, a software system for multispectral image visualization and analysis are presented. A new approach is adopted, based on modern design techniques and better tuned to the recent advancements in hardware. A careful implementation in the C++ language addresses the issues of time eciency, openness to personalizations, portability by exploiting the advances of Open Source technologies. Experimental tests on multispectral images have given promising results towards the use of the system as a dynamic, interactive interface to massive data visualization and processing
