Conceptual modeling of audio-visual content
Abstract
The explosive growth of applications involving digital audio-visual material is driving the need for more rich content description. In this paper, we present a design process for audio-visual content description. The process involves constructing a conceptual model in which entities, attributes and relationships important for content description are identified and modeled. The procedure provides special handling of different types of spatio-temporal relationships important for audio-visual content modeling. In this paper, we describe the audio-visual content description conceptual modeling methodology in the context of the MPEG-7 description schemes.
