Abstract
The advent of digital multimedia communications has generated a growing need for powerful multimedia processing techniques to enable the generation of useful and intelligent communications services. Multimedia processing techniques play a significant role in creating communications services by; 1) enabling efficient transmission and storage of multimedia information through media compression techniques, 2) creating effective user interfaces through media conversion, understanding, and dialogue systems, and 3) providing intelligent information searching and browsing mechanisms based on media processing and understanding techniques. In this paper we present a brief overview of media compression techniques and standards, touch upon several media processing techniques. Then we give a brief overview of three prototype services based on these techniques.
