Multimodal services for remote communications: the vote-registration example

With the development of the Next Generation Networks, participants in meetings will communicate using the medium that best suits them (text, audio, video). Services provided to make meetings more efficient will have to be implemented taking into account the multiple modalities available. The most advanced multimodal/multimedia signal processing techniques will become the core tools that services will exploit. This project aimed at developing a proof of concept for multimodal services for communications. The communication exchange, image, speech and text processing for automatic vote counting in meetings is proposed as an example of a service to be developed over a communications architecture.
