    摘要: A method and an apparatus for encoding and playing multimedia contents are provided. The method includes: separating media data and metadata from the multimedia contents; creating multimedia application format (MAF) metadata by using the separated metadata, the format of the MAF metadata being predetermined; and encoding the media data and the MAF metadata to generate an MAF file including a header, the MAF metadata, and the media data, the header having information that provides a location of the media data. Accordingly, in a process of integrating digital photos and other multimedia content files into one file in the application file format MAF, visual feature information obtained from photo data and the contents of the photo images, and a variety of hint feature information for effective indexing of photos are included as metadata and content application method tools based on the metadata are included. As a result, even when the user does not have a specific application or a function for applying metadata, general-purpose multimedia content files can be effectively used by effectively browsing the multimedia content files.

    摘要: A clustering method, medium, and apparatus using region division templates. According to the method, medium, and apparatus, in order to more reliably extract semantic concepts included in a photo, multiple content-based feature values can be extracted from region images divided by using region division templates, and the confidence degree of an input image in relation to the local semantic concept, defined by using the feature values, is measured. With respect to the confidence degree, the local semantic concepts of the photo can be merged and a more reliable local semantic concept can be extracted. By using the merged local semantic concept, the confidence degree of a global semantic concept is measured, and according to the confidence, multiple category concepts included in the input photo are extracted. By doing so, photo data can be quickly and effectively used to generate an album.
