MPEG-7的现状和发展

为了实现基于内容的多媒体信息检索，活动图像专家组MPEG制订了“多媒体内容描述接口”MPEG-7标准，与MPEG-1、2、4不同，MPEG-7不是一种新的编码标准，它独立于其它标准，运用MPEG-1、2、4中的工具和手段，同时为其服务。介绍了MPEG-7的研究背景、目标、研究内容以及应用领域。     

Everything you wanted to know about MPEG-7. 1

Audio-visual information must allow some degree of interpretation, which can be passed onto, or accessed by a device or a computer code. MPEG-7 aims to create a standard for describing these operational requirements. We provide an overview on the development, functionality, and applicability of MPEG-7. We present the role of MPEG-7 and outline ideas for using MPEG-7 technology based on examples of improved versions of existing applications as well as completely new ones. The MPEG standards preceding MPEG-7 have mainly addressed coded representation of audio-visual information. MPEG-7, on the other hand, focuses on the standardization of a common interface for describing multimedia materials (representing information about the content, but not the content itself (“the bits about the bits”)). In this context, MPEG-7 addresses aspects such as facilitating interoperability and globalization of data resources and flexibility of data management

The MPEG-4 Multimedia Coding Standard: Algorithms, Architectures and Applications

The upcoming MPEG-4 standard provides new possibilities for the compression and presentation of multimedia contents. The main characteristics of MPEG-4 are the object-based coding and representation of an audio-visual scene and the ability to code objects of natural or synthetic origin. These features will enhance existing applications with new functionalities and enable standardised solutions for new applications. This paper provides an overview of the three major parts Systems, Visual and Audio of the new MPEG-4 standard, highlights implementation aspects for some envisaged types of MPEG-4 terminals and describes possible future multimedia application scenarios using MPEG-4 functionalities.

Using MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 for personalizing video

As multimedia content has proliferated over the past several years, users have begun to expect that content be easily accessed according to their own preferences. One of the most effective ways to do this is through using the MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 standards, which can help address the issues associated with designing a video personalization and summarization system in heterogeneous usage environments. This three-tier architecture provides a standards-compliant infrastructure that, in conjunction with our tools, can help select, adapt, and deliver personalized video summaries to users. In extending our summarization research, we plan to explore semantic similarities across multiple simultaneous news media sources and to abstract summaries for different viewpoints. Doing so will allow us to track a semantic topic as it evolves into the future. As a result, we should be able to summarize news repositories into a smaller collection of topic threads.

A multiview sequence CODEC with view scalability

A multiview sequence CODEC with flexibility, MPEG-2 compatibility and view scalability is proposed. We define a GGOP (Group of GOP) structure as a basic coding unit to efficiently code multiview sequences. Our proposed CODEC provides flexible GGOP structures based on the number of views and baseline distances among cameras. The encoder generates two types of bitstreams; a main bitstream and an auxiliary one. The main bitstream is the same as a MPEG-2 mono-sequence bitstream for MPEG-2 compatibility. The auxiliary bitstream contains information concerning the remaining multiview sequences except for the reference sequences. Our proposed CODEC with view scalability provides several viewers with realities or one viewer motion parallax whereby changes in the viewer’s position results in changes in what is seen. The important point is that a number of view points are selectively determined at the receiver according to the type of display modes. The viewers can choose an arbitrary number of views by checking the information so that only the views selected are decoded and displayed.The proposed multiview sequence CODEC is tested with several multiview sequences to determine its flexibility, compatibility and view scalability. In addition, we subjectively confirm that the decoded bitstreams with view scalability can be properly displayed by several types of display modes, including 3D monitors.     

MPEG-2 video compression

MPEG-2 is an extension of the MPEG-1 international standard for digital compression of audio and video signals. MPEG-1 was designed to code progressively scanned video at bit rates up to about 1.5 Mbit/s for applications such as CD-I (compact disc interactive). MPEG-2 is directed at broadcast formats at higher data rates; it provides extra algorithmic 'tools' for efficiently coding interlaced video, supports a wide range of bit rates and provides for multichannel surround sound coding. This tutorial paper introduces the principles used for compressing video according to the MPEG-2 standard, outlines the general structure of a video coder and decoder, and describes the subsets ('profiles') of the toolkit and the sets of constraints on parameter values ('levels') defined to date.     

压缩域MPEG-2到MPEG-4视频转码中不匹配宏块的复原算法

作为一种最有应用前景的先进的压缩编码标准，MPEG-4将会很快在视频传输、存储和剪辑等许多领域中得到应用。不过，MPEG-2和MPEG-4这两种优秀的视频系统肯定会在很长一段时间内共存。本文提出了一种基于MC-DCT域的转码方法。重点解决了两种标准视频流中宏块编码模式不匹配的一些关键问题。仿真结果表明，本算法不仅能有效地实现MPEG-2到MPEG-4的转码，满足实时性和低处迟的需求，而且能隐藏或复原编码模式不匹配宏块，明显地改变视觉质量。
