Server Transcoding of Multimedia Data for Cross-Disability Access
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multimedia transmission over wide-area networks currently only considers the server and network resource constraints and client device capabilities. It is also essential that the accessibility of the multimedia content for different users with diverse capabilities and disabilities be considered. In this paper we develop a transcoding technique to present the multimedia content to suit diverse disabled user groups by using an ability based classification approach. Using ability-based prioritization, the appropriate alternate modalities and quality levels are chosen to replace the inaccessible modalities. The transcoding process allows for refinements to cater to specific types and degrees of impairments. Our performance results illustrate the benefits of the ability-based transcoding approach.

Using Grid Paradigm for Multimedia Applications
Very popular mobile devices such as Cellular Phones, Laptops, Handheld and Tablet PC are becoming more and more powerful. One of today’s trends is to access multimedia services from this sort of devices. Their low capacity in terms of storage, and their high inclination to wireless connection, suggest to use streaming techniques instead of media download. Mobile devices are, at present, dramati...

The heterogeneity and dynamics of client's requirement and preference make the current "one content presentation to many global clients" model for information provisioning difficult to deploy cost-efficiently in pervasive and mobile computing environment. Server side solution of maintaining multiple distinct versions of the content is quite limited and expensive; client side solution of transfo...
متن کاملGamma: A Content-Adaptation Server for Wireless Multimedia Applications
An important technique for wireless multimedia is content adaptation – the on-demand transcoding of multimedia from one format to another or from one fidelity to another so as to fit the specific needs of different wireless terminals, which typically have limited bandwidths and resources. In this paper, we present the design, implementation, and evaluation of a content-adaptation server called ...
متن کاملSecure Transcoding of Internet Content
In this paper, we introduce a secure transcoding framework that enables network intermediaries such as proxies to transcode multimedia data without violating end-to-end security guarantees. In our approach, an encoder decomposes a data stream at the source into multiple streams, encrypts each stream independently, and annotates each stream with clear-text metadata. An intermediary performs tran...
متن کاملVideo Transcoding Gateway for Wireless Video Access
In this paper, we review several typical video transcoding architectures and major applications of video transcoding. We identify issues involved in access video streams through handheld devices and wireless networks. To handle these issues, we propose a video transcoding gateway system for intelligently transcoding pre-encoded video for different user devices and network connections. The main ...
