    摘要: As information to be processed at an object-based video or audio-visual (AV) terminal, an object-oriented bitstream includes objects, composition information, and scene demarcation information. Such bitstream structure allows on-line editing, e.g. cut and paste, insertion/deletion, grouping, and special effects. In the interest of ease of editing, AV objects and their composition information are transmitted or accessed on separate logical channels (LCs). Objects which have a lifetime in the decoder beyond their initial presentation time are cached for reuse until a selected expiration time. The system includes a de-multiplexer, a controller which controls the operation of the AV terminal, input buffers, AV objects decoders, buffers for decoded data, a composer, a display, and an object cache.

    摘要: A fundamental limitation in the exchange of audiovisual information today is that its representation is extremely low level. It is composed of coded video or audio samples (often as blocks) arranged in a commercial format. In contrast, the new generation multimedia requires flexible formats to allow a quick adaptation to requirements in terms of access, bandwidth scalability, streaming as well as general data reorganization. The Flexible-Integrated Intermedia Format (Flexible-IIF or F-IIF) is an advanced extension to the Integrated Intermedia Format (IIF). The Flexible-Integrated Intermedia Format (Flexible-IIF) datastructures, file formats systems and methods provide a framework that integrates advanced concepts, such as objects based audio-visual representation, meta-data and object oriented programming, to achieve a flexible and generic representation of the audiovisual information and the associated methods to operate on the audiovisual information.

    摘要: Audiovisual data storage is enhanced using an expanded physical object table utilizing an ordered list of unique identifiers for a particular object for every object instance of an object contained in segments of a data file. Two object instances of the same object in the same segment have different object identifiers. Therefore, different instances of the same object use different identification and the different object instances may be differentiated from one another for access, editing and transmission. The necessary memory required for randomly accessing data contained in files using the expanded physical object table may be reduced by distributing necessary information within a header of a file to simplify the structure of the physical object table. In this way, a given object may be randomly accessed by means of an improved physical object table/segment object table mechanism.

    摘要: Systems and methods for conducting a multi-endpoint video signal conference are provided. Conferencing endpoints are linked by pairs of a reliable and a less reliable communication channel. Conference video signals are scaleable coded in base layer and enhancement layers format. Video signal base layers, which correspond to a minimum picture quality, are communicated over reliable channels. The video signal enhancements layers may be communicated over the less reliable channels. A conference server mediates the switching of video layer information from transmitting endpoints to receiving endpoints without any intermediate coding or re-coding operations. The video conference can be integrated with an audio conference using either scalable coded audio signals or non-scaleable coded audio signals.
