Developing Audio Processing Agents for Multi-agent Mpeg-7 Enabled Environment

چکیده
This paper presents a methodology for developing audio processing agents for a multi-agent environment that is known as the Community of Multimedia Agents. The Community’s philosophy, objectives and architecture are described. The methodology is illustrated using audio feature extraction agents as example. The algorithms used for extracting audio features are classical and work in general audio domain. The agents have the standard MPEG-7 interface for better interoperation and wide usage. Two low level tools the MPEG-7 audio descriptor wrapper classes and the MPEG audio decoder – are also presented. An example of agent aggregation for an annotation system prototyping is provided.

متن کاملDescription-driven Context-sensitive Effects
We introduce a new paradigm in digital audio effects that i s based on more symbolic manipulations of elements of a sound, rather than using linear signal processing alone. By utilising content descriptions such as those enabled by MPEG-7, a system may apply context-sensitive effects that are more aware of the structure of the sound than current systems. We advocate a standards-based approach (...
