Interactive broadcasting contents authoring and searching system

In recent years, we have seen a vast increase in interactive broadcasting content research based on MPEG-4 and multimedia content description research based on the MPEG-7 standard. Also, there is a rising research area to compromise between the MPEG-4 and the MPEG-7 standard for a new application domain such as the interactive broadcasting server, and so on. Especially, MPEG-4 and MPEG-7 based interactive content allows a user to watch preferred broadcasting programs by using retrieval functionalities. We present the first results of the MPEG-7 over MPEG-4 research and introduce the prototype of an interactive broadcasting contents authoring and searching system using the MPEG-7 over MPEG-4 scheme.
