Linux cluster Server makes a high performance PC cluster system, and provides scalablity and availability as compared with an expensive single server. In this paper, we design and implement a VOD streaming service system to serve video and audio streaming services on the Linux cluster server. Our Streaming server supports the MS Window Media Format based on the RTSP streaming protocol.

최근 몇 년 동안 컴퓨터 사용자들의 멀티미디어 데이터에 대한 요구가 빠르게 증가하고 있다. 멀티미디어 데이터를 서비스하기 위해서는 대용량의 저장장치가 필요하며 연속재생이 가능하여야 한다. 이와 관련하여 데이터 압축기술과 스트리밍 기슬과 고성능 PC를 고속의 네트웍으로 연결하는 클러스터 기술에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 클러스터 시스템은 비교적 저렴한 가격의 고성능 시스템으로 고가의 단일서버에 비해 확장성과 가격대 성능면에서 유리하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 리눅스 클러스터 기반의 오디오/비디오 실시간 및 VOD 스트리밍 서버와 일반적인 사용자에게 친숙한 윈도우 환경의 플레이어를 구현하였다. 또한 본 연구에서 구현한 시스템에서는 기존에 윈도우 NT계열에서만 스트리밍이 가능했던 ASF포맷의 멀티미디어 데이터를 리눅스 서버에서도 스트리밍 서비스가 가능하도록 하였다.

As a tool used for video maintenance, Video segmentation divides videos in hierarchical and structural manner. This technique can be considered as a core technique that can be applied commonly for various applications such as indexing, abstraction or retrieval. Conventional video segmentation used adaptive threshold to split video by calculating difference between consecutive frames and threshold value in window with fixed size. In this case, if the time difference between occurrences of cuts is less than the size of a window or there is much difference in neighbor feature, accurate detection is impossible. In this paper, Improved Adaptive threshold algorithm which enables determination of window size according to video format and reacts sensitively on change in neighbor feature is proposed to solve the problems above. Post-Processing method for decrement in error caused by camera flash and fast movement of large objects is applied. Evaluation result showed that there is 3.7% improvement in performance of detection compared to conventional method. In case of application of this method on modified video, the result showed 95.5% of reproducibility. Therefore, the proposed method is more accurated compared to conventional method and having reproducibility even in case of various modification of videos, it is applicable in various area as a video maintenance tool.

This paper presents a multimedia mail system which transmit and redeive multimedia mailing messges on Intemet.This mail system is an extension of the exsting e-mail system for multimedia uncluding,text,image,MPEG video,and binary data,The MIME(Multipurpose Intert Mail Extensions)format,which is an extension of REF-822 maill format,is used to reprssent multimedia,and SMTP(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)is utilized as a mail transport prttocol.The IMAP(Intenet Mail Access Protcol)which privides more functions than the widely used POP(Post Office Protocol)is used as a mailbox retrival protocol.The mail client is complemented on a multimedia PC while the server is implemented on a UNIX system.In the mail system, a mail sending program allows a user to attach binary files such as Postscript files and MPEG compressed video,while a receiving program provides direct interface to application programs to play back received multimedia mail messages.

Recently, ISO/IEC 23000 (also known as 'MPEG-A') has proposed a new file format called 'MAF(Multimedia Application File Format)[1]' which provides a capability of integrating/storing the widely-used compression standards for audio and video and the metadata in MPEG-7 form into a single file format. However, it is still very hard to verify the usefulness of MPEG-A in the real applications because there is still no real system that fully implements this standard. In this thesis, a design and implementation of a multimedia retrieval system based on MPEG-A standard on PC and mobile device is presented. Furthermore, an extension of MPEG-A for describing the metadata for video is also proposed. It is selected and defined as a subset of MPEG-7 MDS[4] and TV-anytime[5] for video that is useful and manageable in the mobile environments. In order to design the multimedia retrieval system based on MPEG-A, we define the system requirements in terms of portability, extensibility, compatibility, adaptability, efficiency. Based on these requirements, we design the system which composed of 3 layers: Application Layer, Middleware Layer, Platform Layer. The proposed system consists of two sub-parts, client-part and server-part. The client-part consists of MAF authoring tool, MAP player tool and MAF searching tool which allow users to create, play and search the MAF files, respectively. The server-part is composed of modules to store and manage the MAF files and metadata extracted from MAF files. We show the usefulness of the proposed system by implementing the client system both on MS-Windows platform on desk-top computer and WIPI platform on mobile phone, and validate whether it to satisfy all the system requirements. The proposed system can be used to verify the specification in the MPEG-A, and to proves the usefulness of MPEG-A in the real application.

While the broadband network and multimedia technology are being developed, the commercial market of digital contents as well as using IPTV has been widely spreading. In this background, Time-Shift system is developed for requirement of multimedia. This system is independent of Time but is not independent of Place and Occasion. For solving these problems, in this paper, we propose the TPO(Time, Place, Occasion)-Shift system for mobile multimedia devices. The profile that can be applied to the mobile multimedia devices is much different from that of the setter-box. And general mobile multimedia devices could not have such large memories that is for multimedia data. So it is important to continuously store and manage those multimedia data in limited capacity with mobile device's profile. Therefore we compose the basket in a way using defined time unit and manage these baskets for effective buffer management. In addition. since the file name of basket is made up to include a basket's time information, we can make use of this time information as DTS(Decoding Time Stamp). When some multimedia content is converted to be available for portable multimedia devices, we are able to compose new formatted contents using such DTS information. Using basket based buffer systems, we can compose the contents by real time in mobile multimedia devices and save some memory. In order to see the system's real-time operation and performance, we implemented the proposed TPO-Shift system on the basis of mobile device, MS340. And setter-box are desisted by using directshow player under Windows Vista environment. As a result, we can find the usefulness and real-time operation of the proposed systems.
