Mobile Multimedia Event Capturing and Visualization (MOME)

Capturing Multimedia Events such as natural disasters, accident reports, building damage reports, political events, etc., are expensive functionalities due to the number and training of the people required, as well as the time involved in the capturing and post-processing of multimedia. In addition, the captured multimedia content often fails to give the viewer a comprehensive understanding of the event captured in context. We present a model and a mobile system for multimedia event capturing by a one-man-crew. The system supports: (a) the real time capturing of complex multimedia events of different types, (b) the recording of the capturing process and the metadata associated with the events, (c) the visualization of the events and the capturing process, and (d) the learning and preparation of the one-man-crew that will do the multimedia event capturing.
