SIGMM Education Column of this issue highlights a new book, titled “Visual Information Retrieval using Java and LIRE,” which gives an introduction to the fields of information retrieval and visual information retrieval and points out selected methods, as well as their use and implementation within Java and more specifically LIRE, a Java CBIR library. The book is authored by Dr. Mathias Lux, from Klagenfurt University, Austria, and Prof. Oge Marques, of Florida Atlantic University, and it is published in the Synthesis Lectures on Information Concepts, Retrieval, and Services by Morgan & Claypool.

 

The basic motivation for writing this book was the need for a fundamental course book that contained just the necessary knowledge to get students started with content-based image retrieval. The book is based on lectures given by the authors over the last years and has been designed to fulfill that need. It will also provide developers for content-based image solutions with a head start by explaining the most relevant concepts and practical requirements.

 

The book begins with a short introduction, followed by explanations of information retrieval and retrieval evaluation. Visual features are then explained, and practical problems and common solutions are outlined. Indexing strategies of visual features, including linear search, nearest neighbor search, hashing and bag of visual words, are discussed next, and the use of these strategies with LIRE is shown. Finally, LIRE is described in detail, to allow for employment of the library in various contexts and for extension of the functions provided.

 

There is also a companion website for the book (http://www.lire-project.net), which gives pointers to additional resources and will be updated with slides, figures, teaching materials and code samples.

Prof. Dr. Klara Nahrstedt, SIGMM Chair

SIGMM Editor: “Why do societies such as ACM offer Fellows status to some of its members?”

Prof Klara Nahrstedt: The ACM society celebrates through its ACM Fellows Status Program the exceptional contributions of the leading members in the computing field. These individuals have helped to enlighten researchers, developers, practitioners and end-users of computing and information technology throughout the world. The new ACM Fellows join a distinguished list of colleagues to whom ACM and its members look for guidance and leadership in computing and information technology.

SIGMM Editor: “What is the significance for you as an individual research in becoming an ACM Fellow?”

Prof Klara Nahrstedt: Receiving the ACM Fellow Status represents a great honor for me due to the high distinction of this award in the computing community.  The ACM Fellow award recognizes  my own research in the area of “Quality of Service (QoS) management  for distributed multimedia systems”, as well as the joint work in this area with my students and colleagues at my home institution, the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and other institutions, research labs, and companies with whom I have collaborated over the years.  Furthermore, becoming an ACM Fellow allows me to continue and push new ideas of QoS in distributed multimedia systems in three societal domains, the trustworthy cyber-physical infrastructure for smart grid environments, the collaborative immersive spaces in tele-health-care, and robust mobile multimedia systems in airline-airplane maintenance ecosystem.
SIGMM Editor: “How is this recognition perceived by your research students, department, and University? “

Prof Klara Nahrstedt: My research students, department and university are delighted that I have received the ACM Fellow status since this type of award very much reflects the high quality of students that get admitted to our department and I work with, colleagues I interact with, and resources I get provided by the department and university.

SIGMM Editor: “You have been one of the important torch bearers of the SIGMM community. What does this recognition imply for the SIGMM Community?”

Prof Klara Nahrstedt: SIGMM community is a relatively young community, having only recently celebrated 20 years of its existence. However, as the multimedia community is maturing, it is important for our community to promote its outstanding researchers and assist them towards the ACM Fellow status.  Furthermore, multimedia technology is becoming ubiquitous in all facets of our lives; hence it is of great importance that SIGMM leaders, especially its ACM Fellows, are at the table with other computing researchers to guide and drive future directions in computing and information technologies.

SIGMM Editor: “How will this recognition influence the SIGMM community?”

Prof Klara Nahrstedt: I hope that my ACM Fellow status recognition will influence the SIGMM community at least in three directions: (1) it will motivate young researchers in academia and industry to work towards high impact research accomplishments in multimedia area that will lead to the ACM Fellow status at the later stage of their careers, (2) it will impact female researchers to strive towards recognition of their work through the ACM Fellow Status, and (3) it will increase the distinguished group of ACM Fellows within the SIGMM, which again will be able to promote the next generation of multimedia researchers to join the ACM Fellows ranks.

 

MPEG Column: 103rd MPEG Meeting

The 103rd MPEG Meeting

The 103rd MPEG meeting was held in Geneva, Switzerland, January 21-15, 2013. The official press release can be found here (doc only) and I’d like to introduce the new MPEG-H standard (ISO/IEC 23008) referred to as high efficiency coding and media delivery in heterogeneous environments:

  • Part 1: MPEG Media Transport (MMT) – status: 2nd committee draft (CD)
  • Part 2: High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) – status: final draft international standard (FDIS)
  • Part 3: 3D Audio – status: call for proposals (CfP)

MPEG Media Transport (MMT)

The MMT project was started in order to address the needs of modern media transport applications going beyond the capabilities offered by existing means of transportation such as formats defined by MPEG-2 transport stream (M2TS) or ISO base media file format (ISOBMFF) group of standards. The committee draft was approved during the 101st MPEG meeting. As a response to the CD ballot, MPEG received more than 200 comments from national bodies and, thus, decided to issue the 2nd committee draft which will be publicly available by February 7, 2013.

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) – ITU-T H.265 | MPEG HEVC

HEVC is the next generation video coding standard jointly developed by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG11 (MPEG) and the Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) of ITU-T WP 3/16. Please note that both ITU-T and ISO/IEC MPEG use the term “high efficiency video coding” in the the title of the standard but one can expect – as with its predecessor – that the former will use ITU-T H.265 and the latter will use MPEG-H HEVC for promoting its standards. If you don’t want to participate in this debate, simply use high efficiency video coding.

The MPEG press release says that the “HEVC standard reduces by half the bit rate needed to deliver high-quality video for a broad variety of applications” (note: compared to its predecessor AVC). The editing period for the FDIS goes until March 3, 2013 and then with the final preparations and a 2 month balloting period (yes|no vote only) once can expect the International Standard (IS) to be available early summer 2013. Please note that there are no technical differences between FDIS and IS.

The ITU-T press release describes HEVC as a standard that “will provide a flexible, reliable and robust solution, future-proofed to support the next decade of video. The new standard is designed to take account of advancing screen resolutions and is expected to be phased in as high-end products and services outgrow the limits of current network and display technology.”

HEVC currently defines three profiles:

  • Main Profile for the “Mass-market consumer video products that historically require only 8 bits of precision”.
  • Main 10 Profile “will support up to 10 bits of processing precision for applications with higher quality demands”.
  • Main Still Picture Profile to support still image applications, hence, “HEVC also advances the state-of-the-art for still picture coding”

3D Audio

The 3D audio standard shall complement MMT and HEVC assuming that in a “home theater” system a large number of loudspeakers will be deployed. Therefore, MPEG has issued a Call for Proposals (CfP) with the selection of the reference model v0 due in July 2013. The CfP says that MPEG-H 3D Audio “might be surrounding the user and be situated at high, mid and low vertical positions relative to the user’s ears. The desired sense of audio envelopment includes both immersive 3D audio, in the sense of being able to virtualize sound sources at any position in space, and accurate audio localization, in terms of both direction and distance.”

“In addition to a “home theater” audio-visual system, there may be a “personal” system having a tablet-sized visual display with speakers built into the device, e.g. around the perimeter of the display. Alternatively, the personal device may be a hand-held smart phone. Headphones with appropriate spatialization would also be a means to deliver an immersive audio experience for all systems.”

Complementary to the CfP, MPEG also provided the encoder input format for MPEG-H 3D audio and a draft MPEG audio core experiment methodology for 3D audio work.

Publicly available MPEG output documents

The following documents shall be come available at http://mpeg.chiariglione.org/ (note: some may have an editing period – YY/MM/DD). If you have difficulties to access one of these documents, please feel free to contact me.

GPAC, Toolbox for Interactive Multimedia Packaging, Delivery and Playback

Introduction

GPAC was born 10 years ago from the need of a lighter and more robust implementation of the MPEG-4 Systems standard [1], compared to the official reference software. It has since then evolved into a much wider project, covering many tools required when exploring new research topics in multimedia, while keeping a strong focus on international standard coming from organization such as W3C, ISO, ETSI or IETF. The goal of the project is to provide the tools needed to setup test beds and experiments for interactive multimedia applications, in any of the various environments used to deliver content in modern systems: broadcast, multicast, unicast unreliable streaming, HTTP-based streaming and file-based delivery.

— original post by Multimedia Communication blog, Christian Timmerer, AAU

The 102nd MPEG meeting was held in Shanghai, China, October 15-19, 2012. The official press release can be found here (not yet available) and I would like to highlight the following topics:

  • Augmented Reality Application Format (ARAF) goes DIS
  • MPEG-4 has now 30 parts: Let’s welcome timed text and other visual overlays
  • Draft call for proposals for 3D audio
  • Green MPEG is progressing
  • MPEG starts a new publicity campaign by making more working documents publicly available for free

Augmented Reality Application Format (ARAF) goes DIS

MPEG’s application format dealing with augmented reality reached DIS status and is only one step away from becoming in international standard. In a nutshell, the MPEG ARAF enables to augment 2D/3D regions of scene by combining multiple/existing standards within a specific application format addressing certain industry needs. In particular, ARAF comprises three components referred to as scene, sensor/actuator, and media. The scene component is represented using a subset of MPEG-4 Part 11 (BIFS), the sensor/actuator component is defined within MPEG-V, and the media component may comprise various type of compressed (multi)media assets using different sorts of modalities and codecs.

A tutorial from Marius Preda, MPEG 3DG chair, at the Web3D conference in August 2012 is provided below.

MPEG-4 has now 30 parts

Let’s welcome timed text and other visual overlays in the family of MPEG-4 standards. Part 30 of MPEG-4 – in combination with an amendment to the ISO base media file format (ISOBMFF) –  addresses the carriage of W3C TTML including its derivative SMPTE Timed Text, as well as WebVTT. The types of overlays include subtitles, captions, and other timed text and graphics. The text-based overlays include basic text and XML-based text. Additionally, the standards provides support for bitmaps, fonts, and other graphics formats such as scalable vector graphics.

Draft call for proposals for 3D audio

MPEG 3D audio is concerned about various test items ranging from 9.1 over 12.1 up to 22.1 channel configurations. A public draft call for proposals has been issued at this meeting with the goal to finalize the call and the evaluation guidelines at the next meeting. The evaluation will be conducted in two phases. Phase one for higher bitrates (1.5 Mbps to 265 kbps) is foreseen to conclude in July 2013 with the evaluation of the answers to the call and the selection of the “Reference Model 0 (RM0)” technology which will serve as a basis for the development of an 3D audio standard. The second phase targets lower bitrates (96 kbps to 48 kbps) and builds on RM0 technology after this has been documented using text and code.

Green MPEG is progressing

The idea between green MPEG is to define signaling means that enable energy efficient encoding, delivery, decoding, and/or presentation of MPEG formats (and possibly others) without the loss of Quality of Experience. Green MPEG will address this issue from an end-to-end point of view with the focus – as usual – on the decoder. However, a codec-centric design is not desirable as the energy efficiency should not be affected at the expenses of the other components of the media ecosystem. At the moment, first requirements have been defined and everyone is free to join the discussions on the email reflector within the Ad-hoc Group.

MPEG starts a new publicity campaign by making more working documents publicly available for free

As a response to national bodies comments, MPEG is starting from now on to make more documents publicly available for free. Here’s a selection of these documents which are publicly available here. Note that some may have an editing period and, thus, are not available at the of writing this blog post.
