Though BIFS is a complex description language that represents MPEG-4 content as text or bit streams, most traditional MPEG-4 content authoring tools are developed for a BIFS expert. Before using these tools, many authors must invest much time and energy in acquiring knowledge of BIFS. In this paper, we suggest a new manner for saving these efforts. Our proposal supplies the convenient user interface of traditional multimedia authoring tools for MPEG-4 authors and interprets the authored information and transforms it into BIFS. In our user interface, the author generates the minimal authoring information requested for generating BIFS; the BIFS generation module then transforms the information into BIFS format using predefined BIFS construction rules. The resulting BIFS consists of the Scene Tree and the Object Descriptor and Route; they are used for constructing MP4 standard files by mixing with the Elementary Stream.

This paper introduces interactive multi-view contents authoring system based on MPEG-4. The MPEG-4 standard, which aims to provide an object based audiovisual coding tool, has been developed to address the emerging needs from communications, interactive broadcasting as well as from mixed service models resulting from technological convergence. Due to the feature of object based coding, it has been considered that MPEG-4 is the most suitable for interactive broadcasting content production. This feature is suitable for creation of the content which provides multiple views of object or scene in interactive manner. In this paper, we categorize the multi-view visual content into two types: panoramic multi-view content and object multi-view content. And design and implementation of the authoring system for interactive multi-view contents is presented. We believe that the proposed method can be effectively used for further deployment of MPEG-4 content to various interactive applications.

Recently the shape information of the visual object in the scene is more important, as the completion of the MPEG-4 standard and the progress of the MPEG-7 standard. This paper represents the study of effective coding method of vertices that are used in the polygonal approximation to represent the feature of visual object. In the proposed method, we make the centers of gravity of triangles that are made using the vertices of polygonal approximation and encode them sequentially We can get a coding gain because the centers of the gravity of triangles have narrower dynamic ranges.

MPEG-4는 기존의 MPEG-1, MPEG-2와 달리 멀티미디어를 위한 객체 기반의 부호화에 관한 표준이다. MPEG-4의 장면은 여러 개의 객체로 이루어져 있기 때문에 각 객체들을 시간, 공간적으로 표현하기 위한 장면 기술의 방법으로 BIFS(Binary Format for Scene description)를 규정하고 있다. MPEG-4 단말기에서는 부호화된 BIFS 정보를 복호화하여 각 객체들을 화면에 구성하게 되며, 객체의 특성, 행동들을 정의하거나 변경할 수 있고 새로운 객체들을 포함하는 등의 사용자 상호 작용에 따른 기능을 수행하게 된다. 그러나, 사용자 상호 작용에 따른 장면 재구성은 초기 장면을 구성할 때 기술된 장면 정보를 벗어날 수 없는 제약을 받게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 BIFS 수정 정보 발생기 (BIFS modifier)를 가진 시스템 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 시스템 구조에서 BIFS 수정 발생기는 사용자의 상호 작용이 발생한 노드를 전달 받아 이에 상응하는 BIFS 정보를 기존의 BIFS 정보에서 찾은 후 이를 수정하여 BIFS 변경(BIFS update) 명령을 만들어내고 이에 따라 장면을 재구성하여 동적인 장면 구성을 가능하게 한다. 또한, 제안된 시스템 구조를 주요 응용 분야인 peer-to-peer(P2P)를 가정한 네트웍 기반의 게임에 직접 적용하여 보았다.

An image scalablity function is noted as technology to embody One Source-Multi-use's Image division by the network Bandwidth and diversification of resolution of reception terminal recently. In MPEG present H.264/MPEG-4 AVC that do to standardization of SVC (Scalable Video Coding) that know go and SVC can offer space time SNR scalability. But, encoding that do scalable usually is known that encoding efficiency drops than encoding that do rain scalable during time and treatise that see. Examine technique to plan improvement of management quality as that aim to time, SNR scalability in treatise that see so and change FGS (Fine Granular Scalability) function that offer SNR scalability that do about scalability's particle size and encoding efficiency relation by SVC to foundation.

Fast growth of multimedia applications requires new functions for video data processing. such as obj;cted-based video representation and manipulation. which are not supported by 11PEG-l and 11PEG-2. To support these requirements. 11PEG-4 video coding allows users to manipulate every video object easily by decomposing a scene into several video objects and coding each of them independently. However. the large amount of computations and flexible structure of 11PEG-4 video CODEC make it difficult to be implemented by either the general purpose DSP or a dedicated VLSI. In this paper, we propose a hardware architecture using a hybrid of a high performance programmable DSP and an application specific IC to implement a flexible 11PEG-4 video codec requiring the large amount of computations. The application specific IC has the functions of motion estimation and compensation.

This paper describes a multimedia synchronization model based on the MPEG-4(Moving Picture Expert Group) system. It defines and modifies new nodes for representing temporal relationships between media objects in the BIFS(Binary Format for Scene) of MPEG-4 system which Integrates, manages and transfers multimedia objects such as audio, video, image, etc. The relationships are represented by using a multimedia temporal model during the start, play and delay time interval. In addition, we illustrate a multimedia authoring system that includes the Interface used for defining the temporal relationships. Differently from several contentional tools generally appropriate for professional users who can edit the BIFS nodes of themselves, the system provides end-users with the function that can define the temporal relationships of multimedia objects directly in the interface.

이동멀티미디어 방송 서비스의 국내 표준인 디지털 멀티미디어 방송(DMB) 시스템에서 대화형 컨텐츠는 MPEG-4 씬 디스크립션 정보에 의해서 이루어진다. 따라서 사용자 상호작용이 풍부한 컨텐츠일수록 씬 디스크립션이 전송되기 위해서 요구되는 비트레이트도 높아진다. 그러나 이동 단말에 고품질의 멀티미디어 데이터를 전송하는 지상파 DMB 환경에서는 씬 디스크립션과 같은 부가 데이터의 전송율을 매우 제한적이다. 그러므로 오디오나 비디오 데이터뿐만 아니라 씬 디스크립션 정보도 저대역폭 및 이동 단말을 대상으로 유효한 품질을 보장할 수 있는 형태로 인코딩되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 컨텐츠를 전송하기 전에 인코딩된 MPEG-4 씬 디스크립션 정보를 파악하여 전송시점에 예상되는 비트율에 최적화되도록 재구성함으로써 씬 디스크립션 정보의 전송지연 및 손실을 최소화하는 방안의 연구 내용물 제안하고 실험결과를 소개한다.

Fast developments of broadcasting technologies since 1990s enabled not only High Definition Television service providing high quality audiovisual contents at home but also mobile broadcasting service providing audiovisual contents to high speed moving vehicle. Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB) is one of the technologies developed for mobile broadcasting service, which has been successfully commercialized. One of the major technical breakthroughs achieved by T-DMB in addition to robust vehicular reception is an adoption of framework based on MPEG-4 System. It naturally enables integrated interactive data services by using Binary Format for Scene (BIFS) technology for scene description and representation of graphics object and Object Descriptor Framework representing multimedia service components as objects. T-DMB interactive data service has two fundamental limitations. Firstly, graphic data for interactive service should be always overlaid on top of a video not to be rendered out of it. Secondly, data for interactive service is only received by broadcasting channel. These limitations were considered as general in broadcasting systems. However, they are being considered as hard limitations for personalized data services using location information and user characteristics which are becoming widely used for data services of smart devices in these days. In this paper, the architecture of T-DMB hybrid data service is proposed which is utilizing broadcasting network, wireless internet and local storage for delivering BIFS data to overcome these limitations. This paper also presents hybrid BIFS technology to implement T-DMB hybrid data service while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy T-DMB players.

This paper presents a watermarking method using similarity between frames in the scene to resist to various attacks and to improve the video quality. This method inserts and detects a watermark in the frame pair every 3 frame. The experimental simulations show that the video quality is improved more than 45dB compared with previous methods and the watermark is resistant to frame drop, MPEG compression and low pass filter attacks.
