“…Bove Jr, (1995) and Watlington (Watlington and Bove Jr, 1997) suggest a computational framework for object-based encoding and suggest that in addition to being useful for compression, an object-based approach could open the door to interactive television content. These papers concentrate on video as being the biggest computation challenge owing to the high data rates involved, however an object-based approach to audio is also a necessary part of interactive and 3D media and poses many additional challenges.…”

An end-to-end AV broadcast system providing an immersive, interactive experience for live events is the development aim for the EU FP7 funded project, FascinatE. The project has developed real time audio object event detection and localisation, scene modelling and processing methods for multimedia data including 3D audio, which will allow users to navigate the event by creating their own unique user-defined scene. As part of the first implementation of the system a test shoot was carried out capturing a live Premier League football game and methods have been developed to detect, analyse, extract and localise salient audio events from a range of sensors and represent them within an audio scene in order to allow free navigation within the scene.

“…Besides algorithm development, hardware design is also an important issue for real-time systems. Bove's group at the MIT Media Lab proposed a data-flow model for real-time parallel media processing and built tiles of smart sensors [Watlington and Bove 1997;Bove and Mallet 2004]. The VSAM project was an early distributed smart camera system [Collins et al 2001].…”

In this article, we describe a distributed, peer-to-peer gesture recognition system along with a software architecture modeling technique and authority control protocol for ubiquitous cameras. This system performs gesture recognition in real time by combining imagery from multiple cameras without using a central server. We propose a system architecture that uses a network of inexpensive cameras to perform in-network video processing. A methodology for transforming well-designed single-node algorithm to distributed system is also proposed. Applications for ubiquitous cameras can be modeled as the composition of a finite-state machine of the system, functional services, and middleware. A service-oriented software architecture is proposed to dynamically reconfigure services when system state changes. By exchanging data and control messages between neighboring sensors, each node can maintain broader view of the environment with integrated video-processing results. Our prototype system is built on Windows machines, and uses standard video cameras as sensors and local network as a communication channel.
