Fast developments of broadcasting technologies since 1990s enabled not only High Definition Television service providing high quality audiovisual contents at home but also mobile broadcasting service providing audiovisual contents to high speed moving vehicle. Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB) is one of the technologies developed for mobile broadcasting service, which has been successfully commercialized. One of the major technical breakthroughs achieved by T-DMB in addition to robust vehicular reception is an adoption of framework based on MPEG-4 System. It naturally enables integrated interactive data services by using Binary Format for Scene (BIFS) technology for scene description and representation of graphics object and Object Descriptor Framework representing multimedia service components as objects. T-DMB interactive data service has two fundamental limitations. Firstly, graphic data for interactive service should be always overlaid on top of a video not to be rendered out of it. Secondly, data for interactive service is only received by broadcasting channel. These limitations were considered as general in broadcasting systems. However, they are being considered as hard limitations for personalized data services using location information and user characteristics which are becoming widely used for data services of smart devices in these days. In this paper, the architecture of T-DMB hybrid data service is proposed which is utilizing broadcasting network, wireless internet and local storage for delivering BIFS data to overcome these limitations. This paper also presents hybrid BIFS technology to implement T-DMB hybrid data service while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy T-DMB players.

Recently, N-screen service and secondary device have gotten an attention from public. Also, we can experience N-screen service through various digital devices. N-screen means multimedia technology which can seamlessly consume multimedia content. Secondary device means auxiliary multimedia device which can consume content related to main content through adjunct connection to main device. Not only be electronic manufactures interested in N-screen technology and services but also digital devices applied for N-screen have been released. But it has limitation that user can only consume content to be purchased from content company server not device of user. This paper proposes the system that composes effective and various N-screen multimedia service through MPEG-4 LASeR (Lightweight Application Scene Representation) PMSI (Presentation and Modification of Structured Information) as international standard technology which can provide scene description including many instruction for dynamic update of scene.

3D buildings are the most prominent feature comprising urban scene. A few of mega-cities in the globe are virtually reconstructed in photo-realistic 3D models, which becomes accessible by the public through the state-of-the-art online mapping services. A lot of research efforts have been made to develop automatic reconstruction technique of large-scale 3D building models from remotely sensed data. However, existing methods still produce irregular building polygons due to errors induced partly by uncalibrated sensor system, scene complexity and partly inappropriate sensor resolution to observed object scales. Thus, a geometric regularization technique is urgently required to rectify such irregular building polygons that are quickly captured from low sensory data. This paper aims to develop a new method for regularizing noise building outlines extracted from airborne LiDAR data, and to evaluate its performance in comparison with existing methods. These include Douglas-Peucker's polyline simplication, total least-squared adjustment, model hypothesis-verification, and rule-based rectification. Based on Minimum Description Length (MDL) principal, a new objective function, Geometric Minimum Description Length (GMDL), to regularize geometric noises is introduced to enhance the repetition of identical line directionality, regular angle transition and to minimize the number of vertices used. After generating hypothetical regularized models, a global optimum of the geometric regularity is achieved by verifying the entire solution space. A comparative evaluation of the proposed geometric regulator is conducted using both simulated and real building vectors with various levels of noise. The results show that the GMDL outperforms the selected existing algorithms at the most of noise levels.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-4 LASeR (Lightweight Application Scene Representation) 장면기술을 활용하여 효과적인 EPG(Electronic Program Guide) 서비스를 제공하는 방안을 제안한다. EPG는 텔레비전 방송 프로그램의 편성표를 텔레비전 화면상에 표시하는 것으로, 텔레비전을 시청하는 사람은 이 편성표를 통해 원하는 프로그램을 선택하거나 시간, 제목, 채널, 장르 등을 기준으로 원하는 프로그램을 검색할 수 있는 서비스를 말한다. 국제 표준 규격인 MPEG-4에는 장면의 동적인 업데이트를 위해 다양한 명령을 포함한 장면 서술정보를 제공 할 수 있는 LASeR 기술을 제공하고 있다. 특히, LASeR 표준은 구조화된 정보의 표현 및 수정 방법을 제공하기 위한 방법으로 PMSI (Presentation Method & Structured Information)를 제정하였으며, 해당 기술은 장면 서술정보에서 구조화된 정보의 일부분을 참조하여 장면에 효과적으로 표현하는 것을 가능하게 해 준다. 본 논문에서는 MPEG-4 LASeR PMSI를 기존의 텍스트 중심의 단순 EPG에 적용하여 텍스트 뿐만이 아닌 이미지 비디오 등의 멀티미디어 데이터를 활용하여 보다 동적으로 EPG 서비스를 제공하는 방법에 대하여 제안한다.

Since DMB on-air was started, not high-qualified audio, video services but various service models have been required. This paper is about systems for one of these services, video associated data service. A terrestrial DMB system to make contents of video associated data services and transmit them on DMB channel is proposed in this paper. This system satisfies standard of the video associated data services for terrestrial DMB; MPEG-4 BIFS (BInary Format for Scene) Core2D scene description profile and graphics profile. This system is designed to support two major features of broadcasting, real-time authoring non automatic transmission and non real-time authoring automatic transmission, and focuses on the abilities to make high-qualified contents efficiently and transmit them to video encoder reliably. This system proved its performance through conformance tests with various receivers, so can be used in future on-air.

The configuration analysis for the image appeared in the storyboard as the 1st stage to change the scenario to the image expressed the visual phenomenon image starting from the literalism. The simultaneity of description on the interpretative level of the narrative description may describe various information multiple simultaneously, the relationship has been presented as a lot of these information has been weaved as one episode. The incident time of narrative description as the scene described mainly objectively and illustratively has been used usefully to present the accurate information for characters or incidents. The time series of narrative description appeared as one episode by expressing various spaces or images under the continuity of flow according to the time. The collision image seen from the angle of internal ignition played a role to create the meaning colliding into each other or interconnecting symbolic effects appeared as respectively fragmented image, the continuity of space played a role of expressing the different symbol when the image of completely different space is connected to one context, the continuity of time as well makes a different symbolism by interpreting symbols appeared as each images under the flow of time. These results show that the narrative description may be expressed in accordance with the narrative structure from the viewpoints of narrative description, but the internal ignition may be interpreted through the cultural and periodical background widely known in those years based on the experience and information capability the audiences are keeping not by any descriptive structure. Images appeared in the internal ignition appeared by colliding into each other or amplifying mutually no related scenes and revealing the overall symbolism by reinterpreting again.

현재의 멀티미디어 서비스는 기존의 텍스트 위주의 사용자 환경에서 벗어나 오디오, 비디오뿐만 아닌 이미지, 그래픽, 텍스트 및 미디어 관련 정보 등의 다양한 데이터를 포함하는 멀티미디어 서비스 환경으로 변화하고 있다. 이러한 멀티미디어 서비스는 과거 TV와 컴퓨터 등 한정된 기기에서만 제공되었지만, 최근 휴대폰, MP3 플레이어, PMP 등 미디어 기기의 발전에 따라, 다양한 단말을 대상으로 서비스를 확장하고 있다. 이러한 멀티미디어 서비스를 다양한 단말을 대상으로 제공하기 위하여, 기존의 기술에서는 동일한 콘텐츠를 각각의 단말의 환경에 따라 서로 다른 서비스를 통해 제공하였다. 그러나 IPTV와 홈 네트워크 시스템 등 방송과 통신이 융합되고, 유선과 무선 간에 자유롭게 데이터를 주고받는 환경에서 단말 마다 서로 다른 서비스를 제공하는 것은 서비스 시나리오의 복잡도를 높이고, 다양한 단말을 사용하는 사용자에게 통합되지 않은 서비스를 제공 받게 되는 결과를 가져오게 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 콘텐츠의 메타데이터를 활용하여 동일한 멀티미디어 서비스를 단말기의 다양한 환경에 따라 맞춤형 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 방법인 적응적 장면 기술을 제시하고, 그 효율성에 관하여 검증한다.

In this paper, we propose AnoVid, an automated video annotation tool based on deep neural networks, that automatically generates various meta data for each scene or shot in a long drama video containing rich elements. To this end, a novel meta data schema for drama video is designed. Based on this schema, the AnoVid video annotation tool has a total of six deep neural network models for object detection, place recognition, time zone recognition, person recognition, activity detection, and description generation. Using these models, the AnoVid can generate rich video annotation data. In addition, AnoVid provides not only the ability to automatically generate a JSON-type video annotation data file, but also provides various visualization facilities to check the video content analysis results. Through experiments using a real drama video, "Misaeing", we show the practical effectiveness and performance of the proposed video annotation tool, AnoVid.
