This paper describes how to compose multimedia ontology for integrating/searching different types of multimedia databases. For this, we build integrated ontology based on MPEG-7 Multimedia Description Schemes (MDS), which is a representative standard for specifying multimedia contents, and the concept of TV-Anytime and re-express it using Web Ontology Language (OWL). In addition, we explain interoperability of the developed integrated ontology with other types of ontology with different concepts. Lastly, this paper describes the method of semantic search and retrieval using the integrated multimedia ontology.

In this paper, we Propose a browsing system to reduce the contents retrieval time in the personalized broadcasting system. For this purpose, we add a subgenre table between Classification DS and Summarization DS of MPEG-7 MDS. The subgenre includes a subgenre list to shorten the searching time of contents which we want to find. In addition we divide metadata into event and object using Summarization DS of the MPEG-7 MDS. In this way, the hierarchical browsing of broadcasting contents is made possible. This structure may reduce the complexity of search by storing event and object separately. Our simulation results show that the search time of the proposed system is shorter than that of the previous works.

Recently, there have been a lot of researches to develop an archive system for news videos that usually has a fixed structure. However, since the meta-data representation and storing schemes for news video are different from each other in the previously proposed archive systems, it was very hard to exchange these meta-data. This paper proposes a scheme for news video based on MPEG-7 MDS that is an international standard to represent the contents of multimedia, and a summarization mechanism reflecting the characteristics of shots in the news videos. The proposed scheme for news video uses the MPEG-7 MDS schemes such as VideoSegment and TextAnnotation to keep the original structure of news video, and the proposed summarization mechanism uses a slide-show style presentation of key frames with associated audio to reduce the data size of the summary video.

MPEG-7 provides a lot of advantages for retrieving and editing of multimedia data by providing the information of structure and semantics in multimedia data such as digital images and audio. In this paper, a metadata generator and editor system for MPEG-7 is introduced. It suggests the overall technique and framework of generating and editing multimedia data when such content is created. This system also includes not only the functions of generating, editing and saving meta-data of MPEG-7 but also the functions of meta-data editing of moving pictures based on MPEG 1, 2 and browsing of the overall editing process.

Recently, explosive popularity of multimedia information has triggered the need for retrieving multimedia contents efficiently from the database including audio, video and images. In this paper, we propose an XML-based retrieval scheme and a data model that complement the weak aspects of annotation and conent based retrieval methods. The Property and hierarchy structure of image and video data are represented and manipulated based on the Multimedia Description Schema (MDS) that conforms to the MPEG-7 standard. For audio contents, pitch contours extracted from their acoustic features are converted into UDR string. Especially, to improve the retrieval performance, user's access pattern and frequency are utilized in the construction of an index. We have implemented a prototype system and evaluated its performance through various experiments.

최근 디지털 동명상의 사용이 증가하면서 자동으로 구조를 분석하는 기술이 필요하게 되었다. 특히 뉴스 동영상은 다른 동영상에 비해 그 구조가 비교적 정명화 되어 있다는 특징 때문에 많은 연구에서 이용되어졌다. 뉴스 동영상을 이용하는 이전의 연구에서 문제점으로 제시될 수 있는 사항은 서로 다른 자료 구조와 시스템 구조로 인 딴 호환성의 부족을 들 수 있다. 본 논문에서 는 이와 같은 호환성 부족을 해결하기 위해 멀티미디어 데이터를 기술하는 표준인 MPEG-7을 기반으로 한 뉴스 동영상 스키마를 제안하였다 특히 전제 뉴스를 보지 않고 효율적으로 뉴스 동영상을 이해할 수 있도록 요약하는 방법을 제시하였으며 MPEG-7의 HDS를 이용하여 기술하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 디지털 비디오 라이브러리와 같은 응용 분야에서 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

최근 멀티미디어 응용에서 XML은 메타데이터를 표현하기 위하여 그 사용량이 증가하고 있는 추세이며, 그 예로는 MPEG-7 MDS, MPEG-21등이 있다. 이러한 XML형식의 메타데이터의 크기를 줄이기 위하여 MPEG-7에서 정의한 포맷이 Binary Format for Metadata(BiM)이다. BiM은 스트리밍을 고려하여 단편화를 통한 점진적인 전송이 가능하며, 압축률이 높고 복호화에 따르는 오버헤드가 작다는 장점을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 BiM에 대한 간단한 소개와 모바일 환경에 적합하도록 구현한 BiM 복호기의 설계 및 구현에 대하여 소개한다.구현한 복호기는 모바일 환경의 다양한 플랫폼에서의XML 파싱 모듈과 DOM 트리모듈에 대한 종속성을 제거하기 위하여, 스키마 파일의 파싱을 데스크탑에서 수행하고 이에 대한 파싱 결과를 자체 정의한 Syntax File 형식으로 복호기에 전송할 수 있도록 하였다. 또, BiM형태로 전송되는 ESG 메타데이터와 MPEG-4 LASeR 스트림에 대하여 Windows, Windows CE, embeded Linux 환경에서 정상적으로 복호화 하는 것을 확인하였다.

With the development of multimedia and network technology, the production of multimedia contents is rapidly increasing. Meanwhile, the technology to search and use the contents is still insufficient. There are standards for multimedia contents to address the problem, but they cannot fully support diverse multimedia data types or ensure their interoperability. In this paper, an ontology-based content search system is proposed to ensure the interoperability of multimedia contents. The ontology is configured by presenting the rules for it using the schema structure of the multimedia description scheme (MDS) of MPEG-7. Based on this ontology, This paper extend multimedia relationship based on ontology, thus established the semantic retrieval system.

It is expected that intelligent broadcasting service (IBS) will be able to provide broadcast programs based on user preference and program-associated information (metadata) in order to assist users to easily navigate the program contents being broadcast. So users can access program contents anytime/anywhere in the way they want. In this paper we propose a framework for IBS based on an intelligent software agent platform so called FIPA (Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents). We use an FIPA implementation. so called FIPA-OS, as a platform for exchanging user preferences and program information as FIPA messages between a server and clients. The user preference is modeled as the User Preference description scheme in MPEG-7 MDS (Multimedia Description Scheme).

With the advent of digital broadcasting, a large number of program channels become available at the user terminals such as set-top-box or PC. Channel navigation and searching become more difficult at TV terminal sides using a conventional device such as a TV remote controller. The MPEG-7 MDS (Multimedia Description Scheme) and TV Anytime set up a standard about how to describe user preferences for genre, channel, actor/actress, keyword, etc. of the TV programs, and how to describe usage history for user's program consumption behaviors and preferences. But they do not describe how to use them. In this paper, we describe an IPG (Intelligent Program Guider) system that provides TV program and channel information based on user preferences and suggest easy access to TV program that user wants. The IPG monitors user's behaviors of interacting to programs and automatically updates the user's preference changes according1y. The IPG utilizes user preferences description scheme specified in both MPEG-7 MDS and TV Anytime metadata specifications.
