Towards a Fully MPEG-21 Compliant Adaptation Engine: Complementary Description Tools and Architectural Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper develops a number of aspects of metadata-driven adaptation within the MPEG-21 framework that we consider are not clearly covered in the standard. Specifically, the paper introduces three complementary description tools that we have made use of and that we consider would fill certain gaps in the standard. Besides, this paper offers a group of architectural design patterns along with a pragmatic group of considerations that we have gathered during the development of our MPEG-21 compliant adaptation engine.

CAIN-21: Automatic adaptation decisions and extensibility in an MPEG-21 adaptation engine
— This paper presents the progress and final state of CAIN-21, an extensible and metadata driven multimedia adaptation in the MPEG-21 framework. CAIN-21 facilitates the integration of pluggable multimedia adaptation tools, automatically chooses the chain of adaptations to perform and manages its execution. To drive the adaptation, it uses the description tools and implied ontology established b...

This paper presents a cross-layer model— formulated using interoperable description formats—for the adaptation of scalable H.264/MPEG-4 AVC (i.e., SVC) content in a video streaming system operating on a Wireless LAN access network without QoS mechanisms. SVC content adaptation on the server takes place on the application layer using an adaptation process compliant with the MPEG-21 Digital Item ...
متن کاملXML-Driven Bitstream Extraction Along the Temporal Axis of SMPTE’s Video Codec 1
The MPEG-21 Multimedia Framework sets out to transparently deliver digital media content to any device over any network. One of the tools that underlies this vision is the MPEG-21 Bitstream Syntax Description Language (MPEG-21 BSDL). This language sits at the core of an XML-driven architecture for media content customization, hereby allowing to tackle the huge diversity in the present-day termi...
