Event processing is very important to business. We presented
here a model and a system that automate to a large extent
the capturing of multimedia related to events together
with the context of the events and the context of capturing.
This allows powerful visualizations of the spatial and temporal
evolution of the events and the capturing processes. The prototype
system built supports this functionality. The system allows
accommodating maps and diagrams of various types. We
are currently in the process of integrating Google maps and 3D
maps with our previous automatic registration algorithms [14],
[15] and more extensive contextual information captured from
sensors. We are also investigating the capturing and visualization
of multiple concurrent events. Finally, we are now working
in the definition of a detailed formal mapping of our model
to the constructs of the MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 standards.
