Abstract:

Multimedia content delivery requires technology in many areas including,
but not limited to, information processing, data handling and media
understanding. Being able to provide the necessary information in a
desirable format and in a timely manner is the baseline requirement.
To do this effectively, one must understand the usable information
contained within the media content and be able to manage that information
across various representation, presentation, and delivery paradigms.

In this talk I will first discuss work done in document image
compression and analysis. I will show how pertinent information within
a document image can be used to address various image processing and
handling problems. I will continue to motivate that such a data
organization method is possible across all media types and is driven
by their processing requirement. Extension of this concept is taken
to multimedia documents where document structure is exploited and
multimedia services where content is exploited. Multimedia document
handling is discussed along with media scaling for various service
scenarios. Eventually, it is foreseen that an infrastructure is
desirable where the service network provides the processing capability
while content is being routed to a customer.
