To improve library access, the Informedia Digital Video Library uses automatic processing to derive descriptors for video. A new extension to the video processing extracts geographic references from these descriptors.

The operational library interface shows the geographic entities addressed in a story, highlighting the regions discussed in the video through a map display synchronized with the video display.

The map can also serve as a query mechanism, allowing users to search the terabyte library for stories taking place in a selected area of interest.

We present a wide range of spatializations that have employed a variety of graphical techniques and visual metaphors so as to provide striking and powerful images that extend from two dimension 'maps' to three-dimensional immersive landscapes.
