The amount of digital video and associated metadata being generated and stored is increasing rapidly. Given the complex spatial and temporal structure of video information it is a formidable challenge to provide compact and human-readable representations of such content. The solution has to be versatile in order to satisfy different user needs, such as browsing, zooming (looking for something s...

Introduction Increased bandwidth of wireless technologies motivated delivery of video over wireless networks. H.264 compressed video source, applied to video coding layer (VCL) for high compression representation of video content, has a number of error resilience tools. Data partitioning (DP) creates partitions on highest data structure called slices. By enabling DP technique, VCL divides origi...
