Automatic generating detail-on-demand hypervideo using MPEG-7 and SMIL

Detail-on-demand hypervideo will provide a powerful mechanism to allow viewers to see additional information of video segments through hyperlinks. A large number of tools are devoted to the identification of selectable video objects and the synchronization mechanisms for linking additional information to selectable video objects. We focus here on the automatic generation of additional information and the integration of the additional information to its corresponding selectable video object. We demonstrate a method using the Multimedia Content Description Interface defined in MPEG-7 and the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) to automatically generate detail-on-demand hypervideos.
