SALERO (Semantic AudiovisuaL Entertainment Reusable Objects) is a European research project funded under the Sixth Framework Programme of the European Commission and carried out by 13 commercial and academic partners from six European countries.[1]
The project investigates the production of digital content to cross-platform, re-usable media and provide "intelligent content" for games, web-animation, movies and broadcast. The SALERO project team aims to create ontologies for describing media content and vocabularies to produce tools for creating and managing multimedia objects and for re-using them in different contexts than the ones originally defined. Examples include a speech corpus for computer-generated character animations, automatic identification of emotion in speech and text-to-speech (TTS) in different languages.[2] A separate aim is to develop methods for efficiently retrieving images, audio and behaviour patterns from large datasets.
[edit] Trivia
Salero is the Spanish name for salt shaker.
