Using MPEG Tools in Video Summarization
Luis Herranz, José M. Martínez · 2010
MPEG standards provide tools for a broad range of purposes, covering from coding to metadata description tools. In this chapter, the combined use of tools from different MPEG standards is described in the context of a video summarization application. The main objective of the framework is the efficient generation of summaries, integrated with their adaptation to the user's terminal and network. The recent MPEG-4 Scalable Video Coding specification is used for fast adaptation and summary bitstream generation. MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaptation tools are used to describe metadata related to the user's terminal and network. Finally, MPEG-7 tools are used to describe the summary.
