Press Release Summary = After months of development, a new video search-engine named
Lumerias.com opens its doors.
Press Release Body = Duisburg, August 9th, 2007 -- After months of development, a
new video
search engine named Lumerias.com opens its doors.
The service offers a simple solution to search and navigate the rapidly growing
amount of online video. The system behind Lumerias.com processes all major video
formats, including WindowsMedia, QuickTime and the popular Flash Video format. This
enables the seach engine\'s users to find videos from all kinds of sources and all
major social video sites.
Today the variety on the internet became so large that hardly all forms of content
can be made searchable through just one portal. This development
pushed the search
engine market to evolve and specialize. Lumerias.com is a result
of this devolpment
and focuses on video - where search results are served on a simple interface that
renders other services with tedious and cluttered pages obsolete.
Lumerias.com is not a meta
search-engine, this means Lumerias.com is based purely on
original technology developed specifically for the task of processing video data.
The current index, the database of a search-engine, is the result of continuous
webcrawls and holds in its current phase over two million searchable videos.
Over the next months a number of innovations will improve the quality of search
results. Lumerias.com\'s team is busy developing algorithms to automatically make
sense of the indexed videos\' image data and to transcribe their content. These
techniques will then be put to use to further supplement the index which will hold
over ten million videos in its next phase.
