Integration of structured video in a multimedia authoring system

Abstract

Abstract. In this paper, we i n tegrate some results on automatic structuration of video in a multimedia authoring system. For that purpose, we identify the speci c video structuration requirements of this kind of application and we propose an XML syntax for the description of the structure, the temporal and spatial organization of video. Finally we d escribe a prototype application that takes advantage of this structured video format.

A Proposal for a Video Modeling for Composing Multimedia Document

“…We also propose for each presented element a XML specification and show an example of the video (InriaInfo.mov) description in the InriaOperaIntroduce.madeus document ( Figure 3, 4) according to its XML specification. The first version of this model has been presented in [3] and mainly focused on the structure and relations among video components. This preliminary work is now integrated in a more general model presented here, characterized by: three levels of description (see 5.1) and spatiotemporal properties for video objects (see 5.2.2 and 5.2.3)…”
