Delivering MPEG-4 Based Audio-Visual Services

investigates the different aspects of end-to-end multimedia services;

content creation, server and service provider, network, and the

end-user terminal.

Part I provides a comprehensive introduction to digital video

communications, MPEG standards, and technologies, and deals with

system level issues including standardization and interoperability,

user interaction, and the design of a distributed video server.

Part II investigates the systems in the context of

object-based multimedia services and presents a design for an

object-based audio-visual terminal, some of these features having been

adopted by the MPEG-4 Systems specification. The book goes on to study

the requirements for a file format to represent object-based

audio-visual content and the design of one such format. The design

introduces new concepts such as direct streaming that are essential

for scalable servers. The final part of the book examines the delivery

of object-based multimedia presentations and gives optimal algorithms

for multiplex-scheduling of object-based audio-visual presentations,

showing that the audio-visual object scheduling problem is NP-complete

in the strong sense. The problem of scheduling audio-visual objects is

similar to the problem of sequencing jobs on a single machine. The

book compares these problems and adapts job-sequencing results to

audio-visual object scheduling, and provides optimal algorithms for

scheduling presentations under resource constraints, such as bandwidth

(network constraints) and buffer (terminal constraints). In addition,

the book presents algorithms that minimize the resources required for

scheduling presentations and the auxiliary capacity required to

support interactivity in object-based audio-visual presentations.

Delivering MPEG-4 Based Audio-Visual Services is essential

reading for researchers and practitioners in the areas of multimedia

systems engineering and multimedia computing, network professionals,

service providers, and all scientists and technical managers

interested in the most up-to-date MPEG standards and technologies.
