In this paper, we present a succint overview of recent approaches in this field, largely influenced by our own experiences. We first review some of the existing and potential needs for users of multimedia meeting information systems. We then summarize recent work on various research areas addressing some of these requirements. In more detail, we describe our work on automatic analysis of human interaction patterns from audio-visual sensors, discussing open issues in this domain.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2005/rr-05-50.pdf}, postscript = {ftp://ftp.idiap.ch/pub/reports/2005/rr-05-50.ps.gz}, ipdinar={2005}, ipdmembership={vision}, language={English}, }
