My paper "Automatic Video Editing For Video-Based Interactive Storytelling" as been accepted for publication at the 2012 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo (ICME 2012)

The IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo is the longest established and most prestigious conference in the field of multimedia. It serves as a forum to promote the exchange of the latest advances in multimedia technologies, systems, and applications from both the research and development perspectives of the circuits and systems, communications, computer, and signal processing communities. With around 1000 submissions and 500 participants each year, the IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo (ICME) has been the flagship multimedia conference sponsored by four IEEE societies since 2000.

The 2012 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo is being held in Melbourne, Australia in 9th – 13th July, 2012.

My paper presents a real-time method for automatic video editing in video-based interactive storytelling applications. My approach was based in translating cinematography editing theory into computational knowledge to automatically select appropriated transition effects, avoid jump cuts, and create smoothly and continuous video sequences.

Krimson, the game that I and some colleagues create to participate of the indie game development festival at the SBGames 2010 won the festival as the "best game" in the PC category. Moreover, we also received two honorable mentions as the "best art" and the "best technology".

My short paper "Visão Computacional e Reconhecimento de Comandos de Voz Aplicados na Interação com Jogos e Ambientes 3D" also received an honorable mention as the "best short paper".
