Abstract: FIIA is an innovative software service for the Forensic market that automatically identifies and analyzes the content of images on web sites and seized computers. The service saves time and money, gathers better evidence, and builds stronger court cases. We are in charge of helping with the technology needed to identify the logos from terrorist organizations that are inserted in images or videos. Challenges are related to the poor resolution and small size of logos as well as to the very strict efficiency constraints that the logo detector must match.

Quaero is a large research and applicative program in the field of multimedia description (ranging from text to speech and video) and search engines. It groups 5 application projects, a joint Core Technology Cluster developing and providing advanced technologies to the application projects, and a Corpus project in charge of providing the necessary data to develop and evaluate the technologies. The large scope of QUAERO's ambitious objectives allows it to take full advantage of Texmex's many areas of research, through its tasks on: Indexing Multimedia Objects, Term Acquisition and Recognition, Semantic Annotation, Video Segmentation, Multi-modal Video Structuring, Image and video fingerprinting.
In 2013, a key fact is the best paper award obtained by Cédric Penet at CBMI 2013.
