Description

Understand the MPEG-21 Multimedia Framework, the standard for the creation, delivery and consumption of multimedia.

This text is the comprehensive guide to MPEG-21, the technology that provides an open framework for multimedia applications. Whereas previous MPEG standards defined compression techniques, MPEG-21 offers methods for the search, access, storage and Rights protection of content. The MPEG-21 Book offers a complete introduction to standardisation, before proceeding to discuss the vision behind MPEG-21, what ‘Digital Items’ are, how they are adapted and how their contents can be protected. The book provides coverage of the individual parts of the standard to an advanced level, with chapters dedicated to each of the core technologies. The authors describe not only the present situation, but also emerging developments and the relation of MPEG-21 to the other MPEG standards, giving essential insights into the future of MPEG and its impact on multimedia.

The MPEG-21 Book:

  • Provides an accessible explanation of the MPEG-21 standards and specifications.
  • Presents a comprehensive overview of the technical issues that MPEG-21 covers, including the foundational Digital Item Declaration, Digital Item Identification, Digital Item Adaptation, and Digital Item Processing.
  • Offers in-depth and up-to-date coverage of Rights Expression Language and Rights Data Dictionary.
  • Provides first detailed treatments of Event Reporting and IPMP Components.
  • Reviews the new MPEG technologies Multimedia Middleware, Multimedia Application Formats (MAFs) and Digital Item Streaming.

The MPEG-21 Book will provide an essential resource to researchers, engineers, Internet designers, systems designers, and content providers, creators and distributors in the entertainment and broadcasting industries. Students in communications technology, media technology and multimedia signal processing will also find it an invaluable guide

描述

這本書是關於MPEG-21多媒體框架的全面指南,該框架是用於創建、傳遞和消費多媒體的標準。以往的MPEG標準定義了壓縮技術,而MPEG-21則提供了內容搜索、訪問、存儲和權限保護的方法。《MPEG-21 Book》全面介紹了標準化,然後討論了MPEG-21背後的願景,介紹了“數字項目”的概念,以及它們如何適應和保護內容。本書詳細介紹了標準的各個部分,並對每個核心技術進行了專門的章節。作者不僅描述了現狀,還介紹了新興發展以及MPEG-21與其他MPEG標準的關係,提供了對MPEG的未來和對多媒體的影響的重要見解。

《MPEG-21 Book》提供了對MPEG-21標準和規範的易於理解的解釋。它全面概述了MPEG-21所涵蓋的技術問題,包括基礎的數字項目聲明、數字項目識別、數字項目適應和數字項目處理。它深入且最新地介紹了權限表達語言和權限數據字典。它首次詳細介紹了事件報告和IPMP組件。它還回顧了新的MPEG技術,包括多媒體中間件、多媒體應用格式(MAFs)和數字項目流。

《MPEG-21 Book》將成為研究人員、工程師、網絡設計師、系統設計師以及娛樂和廣播行業的內容提供者、創作者和分發商的重要資源。在通信技術、媒體技術和多媒體信號處理方面的學生也會發現它是一本寶貴的指南。
