Video adaptation model based on cognitive lattice in ubiquitous computing

Abstract

The multimedia service delivery chain poses today many challenges. There are an increasing terminal diversity, network heterogeneity and a pressure to satisfy the user preferences. The situation encourages the need for the personalized contents to provide the user in the best possible experience in ubiquitous computing. This paper introduces a personalized content preparation and delivery framework for multimedia service. The personalized video adaptation is expected to satisfy individual users' need in video content. Cognitive lattice plays a significant role of video annotation to meet users' preference on video content. In this paper, a comprehensive solution for the PVA (Personalized Video Adaptation) is proposed based on Cognitive lattice concept. The PVA is implemented based on MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaptation framework. One of the challenges is how to quantify users' preference on video content. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
