Rich Media Application Using MPEG-4 LASeR PMSI Technique

Abstract

In this paper, we presents an efficient rich media application based on MPEG-4 LASeR PMSI. Rich media, which provides distinctive features such as dynamic updates and object-based interactivity over the conventional AV centric media service, rapidly gains its popularity as the convergent multimedia services between broadcasting and telecommunication becomes readily available. MPEG-4 LASeR is an international standard which provides specifications for such rich media services. Recently MPEG added an extension to LASeR called PMSI. It provides an efficient technique to present SI on a scene by referencing specific portions of SI from PI. The presented rich media application is using PMSI of MPEG-4 LASeR standard to provide users a widget-like rich media application. This application utilizes MPEG-4 LASeR with PMSI technique as PI, and this PI references SI to present information resided in SI on a scene. In this paper, we provide descriptions of technical ingredients used to build the presented application. The framework is presented followed by the implementation result. Possible impacts and applicable services are described in the conclusion.
