KNK Seminars invites you to insightful, in-depth and stimulating training on MPEG-7, its technologies, description schemes, capabilities and applications.

Join us to:

Master MPEG-7's technologies for metadata structures for AV content to identify, describe and manage the content.

Learn how MPEG-7, the multimedia metadata standard, is complementary to MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, JPEG, JPEG2000, DV and others that are coded and non-coded, digital and analog representations of the visual and audio content.

Focus on how MPEG-7 provides standardized schema for textual and binary descriptions for digital media in storage, media asset management and real-time delivery applications and of MPEG-7's harmonization with other metadata exchange standards.

Evaluate the wide range of applications enabled by MPEG-7's description schemes for multimedia content and user preferences. MPEG-7 provides a comprehensive framework for describing information about the content: traditional metadata (title, date, ---) and information about parts and features within the content: semantics (who, what, where, key frames,---) and signal structure (color, shape, texture, tempo, loudness, ---). Explore MPEG-7's tools that enable interoperability of systems for content analysis, annotation, indexing, content-based navigation and summaries of programs, EPGs, filtering, querying and browsing of audiovisual information and personalized access, usage and playback of content.

Benefit from MPEG-7's key features in systems for dynamic bandwidth networks and for a vast range of receiver performance capabilities such as cell phones, PDAs, information appliances, DVDs, PCs, STBs, DTVs, PVRs, ---.

Identify MPEG-7's efficient interoperable accessibility, management and production and re-purposing of content through the full lifecycle: creation, capture, catalog, edit and re-purpose, storage and transmission and usage/consumption.

Gain insight into how MPEG-7's enriched multimedia content is creating new services in the current and future businesses of content providers, production and post-production, servers and multimedia databases, distribution channels, broadcast television, streaming and interactive service providers and playback devices of a broad variety of users.

MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4's standardized compressed formats and systems have experienced widespread adoption throughout industry. MPEG-7 follows suit by providing a standardized data model for access to and management of these digital media streams in storage and real-time delivery applications. MPEG-7 has further added-performance in its platform and network heterogeneity, high performance scalability and error robustness features.

Details of interoperable tools for MPEG-7's metadata structures for AV content that will be highlighted in this seminar are
