About this Item

Unterschrift / Widmung ohne Bezug; Wasserschaden / Verschmutzung; Leichte Risse. The MPEG standards are an evolving set of guidelines for video and audio compression, with MPEG 7 focusing on multimedia search and retrieval. This technology aims to standardize multimedia content descriptions to support various applications, including DVD, CD, and HDTV. As the volume of audiovisual (AV) data grows, the need for effective multimedia content description, search, and retrieval becomes increasingly important. This has spurred the development of tools for processing AV material, facilitating the identification and retrieval of AV documents. Authored by experts, this resource serves as a tutorial on the MPEG 7 standard, encompassing content creation, distribution, and consumption. It offers a thorough overview of principles related to indexing, metadata description, information retrieval, and browsing of AV material. The book details major processing tools for indexing and retrieving images and video sequences. Each chapter, contributed by experts involved in MPEG 7's development, provides clear insights into the technologies and tools underlying the standard. Additionally, it includes demonstration software for guidance on multimedia system components and experimentation models. This resource is invaluable for electronic and communications engineers, researchers, and students engaged with multimedia database technology.

About this title

Synopsis

The MPEG standards are an evolving set of standards for video and audio compression. MPEG 7 technology covers the most recent developments in multimedia search and retreival, designed to standardise the description of multimedia content supporting a wide range of applications including DVD, CD and HDTV.
Multimedia content description, search and retrieval is a rapidly expanding research area due to the increasing amount of audiovisual (AV) data available. The wealth of practical applications available and currently under development (for example, large scale multimedia search engines and AV broadcast servers) has lead to the development of processing tools to create the description of AV material or to support the identification or retrieval of AV documents. Written by experts in the field, this book has been designed as a unique tutorial in the new MPEG 7 standard covering content creation, content distribution and content consumption. At present there are no books documenting the available technologies in such a comprehensive way.
* Presents a comprehensive overview of the principles and concepts involved in the complete range of Audio Visual material indexing, metadata description, information retrieval and browsing
* Details the major processing tools used for indexing and retrieval of images and video sequences
* Individual chapters, written by experts who have contributed to the development of MPEG 7, provide clear explanations of the underlying tools and technologies contributing to the standard
* Demostration software offering step-by-step guidance to the multi-media system components and eXperimentation model (XM) MPEG reference software
* Coincides with the release of the ISO standard in late 2001.
A valuable reference resource for practising electronic and communications engineers designing and implementing MPEG 7 compliant systems, as well as for researchers and students working with multimedia database technology.
