9. 02/Mar/2001 MPEG-7 Applications: Multimedia Content Retrieval, IMA Workshop 6B, University of Minnesota Defining MPEG-7 MPEG-7 is a standard for describing features of multimedia content Comprehensive Set of AV descriptions based on: Catalogue (e.g., title, creator, rights), Semantic (e.g., the who, what, when, where information about objects and events) Structural (e.g., the colour histogram – measurement of the amount of colour associated with an image or the timbre of an recorded instrument) features of the AV content Leverages on AV data representation defined by MPEG-1, 2 and 4 Interoperability MPEG-7 uses XML Schema as the language of choice for content description MPEG-7 will be interoperable with other leading standards such as, SMPTE Metadata Dictionary, Dublin Core, EBU P/Meta, and TV Anytime.

10. 02/Mar/2001 MPEG-7 Applications: Multimedia Content Retrieval, IMA Workshop 6B, University of Minnesota MPEG Standards MPEG-1: For the storage and retrieval of moving pictures and audio on storage media. MPEG-2: For digital television, it’s the timely response for the satellite broadcasting and cable television industries in their transition from analog to digital formats. MPEG-4: Codes content as objects and enables those objects to be manipulated individually or collectively on an audiovisual scene. MPEG-1, -2, and -4 make content available. MPEG-7 lets you to find the content you need.

13. 02/Mar/2001 MPEG-7 Applications: Multimedia Content Retrieval, IMA Workshop 6B, University of Minnesota Typical MPEG-7 Queries Audio: Users want to search for songs by humming or whistling a tune. Graphics: Sketch a few lines on a screen and get in return a set of images containing similar graphics, logos, and ideograms. Image: Define objects, including colour patches or textures and get in return examples among which users select interesting objects to compose their image. Check if a company logo was advertised on a TV Channel as contracted Video: Allow access by mobile phone to video clips of goals scored in a soccer game. Automatically search and retrieve any unusual movements from surveillance videos

14. 02/Mar/2001 MPEG-7 Applications: Multimedia Content Retrieval, IMA Workshop 6B, University of Minnesota MPEG-7 Technical Activities A set of descriptors: A Descriptor (D) is a representation of a Feature. A Descriptor defines the syntax and the semantics of the Feature representation. A set of description schemes: A Description Scheme (DS) specifies the structure and semantics of the relationships between its components, which may be both Ds and DSs. DDL: A language to specify description schemes, the Description Definition Language (DDL). It also allows the extension and modification of existing Description Schemes. MPEG-7 decided to adopt XML Schema Language as the MPEG-7 DDL. However the DDL will require some specific extensions to XML Schema Language to satisfy all of the requirements of MPEG-7. These extensions are currently being discussed through liaison activities between MPEG and W3C, the group standardizing XML. Binary Representation: One or more ways (e.g., textual, binary) to encode descriptions. A Coded Description is a Description that has been encoded to fulfill relevant requirements such as compression efficiency, error resilience, random access, etc.

17. 02/Mar/2001 MPEG-7 Applications: Multimedia Content Retrieval, IMA Workshop 6B, University of Minnesota Description Schemes in MPEG-7 Creation and Production: Contains meta information that describes the creation and production of the content; typical features include title, creator, classification, and purpose of the creation. Usage: Contains meta information that’s related to the usage of the content; typical features involve rights holders, access rights, publication, and financial information. Media: Contains the description of the storage media; typical features include the storage format, the encoding of the AV content, and elements for the identification of the media. Structural aspects: Contains the description of the AV content that represent physical, spatial, temporal, or spatio-temporal components of the AV content. (color, texture, shape, motion, audio). Conceptual Aspects: Contains a description of the AV content from the viewpoint of its conceptual notions. Basic Elements: deal with basic data types, mathematical structures, schema tools, linking and media localization tools, as well as basic DSs, which are elementary components of more complex DSs.

The server PC will retrieve the requested images and deliver the compressed video bitstream (H.263) to the client PC. Then the client agent will reply with synthesized voice and display the images.This time we use MPEG-7 CD based format of metadata. Moreover, retrieval speed is several times higher than conventional methods by newly incorporating dependency information.

55. 02/Mar/2001 MPEG-7 Applications: Multimedia Content Retrieval, IMA Workshop 6B, University of Minnesota MPEG-7 Applications (NEC, Japan) NEC has developed a real-time video identification system based on MPEG-7 descriptions. This system monitors broadcast TV programs and identifies its contents through more than 50,000 different video segments in real-time. The system requires only one PC and software. This system is especially useful for survey applications of video clips like TV commercial programs, music video clips, etc. Furthermore, it enables home video server applications to access to a desired program and information. e-kasutani@cq.jp.nec.com

Due to the limited time to play the content at mobile client and huge amount of multimedia content data, it is essential to support the functionality of flexible content summarization depending on the user’s situation. In this application scenario, push technology is used for sending summary content to the mobile users to provide pull access trigger for rich content. Summary content contains an instance of MPEG-7(content structure or pre-defined summaries) and media data(e.g. key frames, annotation) which enables mobile user to look at the overview of the whole content quickly. The information for pull access can be generated or selected using delivered MPEG-7 instance and user preferences input to the client.
