A MPEG-7 and TV-anytime-based multiagents platform for interactive broadcasting system

We propose a multi-agents platform for an interactive broadcasting system based on the MPEG-7 and TV-anytime standards. In the system, an intelligent agent technique is adopted from FIPA that provides software standards for interacting heterogeneous agents. Using the MDS (Multimedia Description Scheme) of MPEG-7, TV-anytime standards and interactive functions such as a user preference and an audio/video contents summary, are applied. In this paper, we propose the technique to use multi-modal features as well as multiple MPEG-7 features. We evaluate a video summary and filtering based on MPEG-7 on top of intelligent agent.
