A multimedia information acquisition method based on fuzzy inference

A method of multimedia information data acquisition is proposed based on fu zzy rules, where multimedia mean the five human senses. Observed informatio n is characterized by VAGOT (visual, acoustic, gustatory, olfactory and tac tile) time series data and the goal is to extract an appropriate subset of VAGOT data based on a given instruction. Here, Multimedia Information cente rs on image and sound, represented by membership functions. Fuzzy rules bas ed on visual and acoustic information are used to identify the appropriate time interval in three experiments: various cars on a general road, sunny-s ide-up eggs and fireworks multimedia information.
