Rik Van de Walle is the first to document MPEG-21, a current & hot topic', which is stimulating interest in the multimedia community and quickly becoming a standardized technology. Multimedia technology provides the different players in the value and delivery chain with an excess of information and services. However, no complete solutions exist that allow different communities (content, financial, communication, computer and consumer electronics and their customers), each with their own models, rules, procedures, interests and content formats, to interact efficiently using this complex infrastructure. Developing a common (big picture) MPEG-21 multimedia framework would facilitate co-operation between sectors and support a more efficient implementation and integration of the different models, resulting in an enhanced user experience. Thus, MPEG-21, the multimedia framework, seeks to fill the gaps and create the big picture of multimedia standards. It aims to guarantee interoperability by focusing on how the elements of a multimedia application infrastructure should relate, integrate and interact. Finally, where open standards for elements are missing, MPEG-21 is providing new technologies to fill the gaps. Serving as a timely and important reference for a burgeoning market, this indispensable text is edited by multimedia experts and_is an_invaluable_reference for_all those in the industry. MPEG-21 guarantees interoperability between multimedia systems by focusing on the elements of a multimedia application infrastructure. Presents a comprehensive overview of the technical issues, which MPEG-21 has standardised including, DID (Digital Item Declaration), DII (Digital Item Identification) and file format and those already in a mature state (e.g. MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaption). First book to deal with MPEG-21, which is a hot multimedia topic. Gained significant interest from the multimedia community. Includes chapters by leading experts in the field who have contr

Large volumes of video content can only be easily accessed by the use of rapid browsing and retrieval techniques. Constructing a video table of contents (ToC) and video highlights to enable end users to sift through all this data and find what they want, when they want are essential. This reference puts forth a unified framework to integrate these functions supporting efficient browsing and retrieval of video content. The authors have developed a cohesive way to create a video table of contents, video highlights, and video indices that serve to streamline the use of applications in consumer an
