MPEG-7 STANDARD
TOWARDS INTELLIGENT
AUDIO-VISUAL
INFORMATION HANDLING
MPEG-7, formally named “Multimedia Content
Description Interface”, is a standard for
describing the multimedia content data that
supports some degree of interpretation of the
information’s meaning, which can be passed onto,
or accessed by, a device or a computer code.
MPEG-7 is not aimed at any one application in
particular; rather, the elements that MPEG-7
standardizes support as broad a range of
applications as possible.
Applications of MPEG-7
The elements that MPEG-7 standardizes provide
support to a broad range of applications (for
example, multimedia digital libraries, broadcast
media selection, multimedia editing, home
entertainment devices, etc.). MPEG-7 will also
make the web as searchable for multimedia
content as it is searchable for text today. This
would apply especially to large content archives,
which are being made accessible to the public, as
well as to multimedia catalogues enabling people
to identify content for purchase.
OBJECTIVES OF MPEG-7 STANDARD
The MPEG-7 standard aims at providing
standardized core technologies allowing
description of audiovisual data content in
multimedia environments. Audiovisual data
content that has MPEG-7 data associated with
it, may include: still pictures, graphics, 3D
models, audio, speech, video, and composition
information about how these elements are
combined in a multimedia presentation
(scenarios). Special cases of these general data
types may include facial expressions and
personal characteristics
APPLICATION AREAS OF MPEG-7
Broadcast media selection (e.g., radio channel, TV channel).
Cultural services (history museums, art galleries, etc.).
Digital libraries (e.g., image catalogue, musical dictionary, film, video and radio archives).
E-Commerce (e.g., personalised advertising, on-line catalogues, directories of e-shops).
Education (e.g., repositories of multimedia courses, multimedia search for support material).
Home Entertainment (e.g., systems for the management of personal multimedia collections,
including manipulation of content, e.g. home video editing, searching a game, karaoke).
Investigation services (e.g., human characteristics recognition, forensics).
Journalism (e.g. searching speeches of a certain politician using his name, his voice or his
face).
Multimedia directory services (e.g. yellow pages, Tourist information, Geographical
information systems).
Multimedia editing (e.g., personalised electronic news service, media authoring).
Remote sensing (e.g., cartography, ecology, natural resources management).
Shopping (e.g., searching for clothes that you like).
Social (e.g. dating services).
Surveillance (e.g., traffic control, surface transportation, non-destructive testing in hostile
environments).

MPEG-7 Description tools allow to create descriptions of content that
may include:
Information describing the creation and production processes of the
content (director, title, short feature movie)
Information related to the usage of the content (copyright pointers,
usage history, broadcast schedule)
Information of the storage features of the content (storage format,
encoding)
Structural information on spatial, temporal or spatio-temporal
components of the content (scene cuts, segmentation in regions, region
motion tracking)
Information about low level features in the content (colors, textures,
sound timbres, melody description)
Conceptual information of the reality captured by the content
(objects and events, interactions among objects)
All these descriptions are coded in an efficient way for searching,
filtering, etc.
APPLICATION MODEL
Parts of the standard
MPEG-7 Visual – the Description Tools dealing with Visual
descriptions.
MPEG-7 Audio – the Description Tools dealing with Audio
descriptions
MPEG-7 Multimedia Description Schemes - the Description Tools
dealing with generic features and multimedia descriptions.
MPEG-7 Description Definition Language - the language
defining the syntax of the MPEG-7 Description Tools and
for defining new Description Schemes.
Structure of the descriptions
Those main elements of the MPEG-7’s
standard are:
• Descriptors (D): representations of
Features, that define the syntax and the
semantics of each feature representation,
• Description Schemes (DS): specify the
structure and semantics of the
relationships between their components.
These components may be both
Descriptors and Description Schemes,
Description Definition Language (DDL): to
allow the creation of new Description
Schemes and, possibly, Descriptors and to
allows the extension and modification of
existing Description Schemes,
System tools: to support multiplexing of
descriptions, synchronization issues,
transmission mechanisms, coded
representations (both textual and binary
formats) for efficient storage and
transmission, management and protection
of intellectual property in MPEG-7
descriptions, etc
MPEG-7 Description Definition Language (DDL)
The DDL defines the syntactic rules to
express and combine Description Schemes
and Descriptors
DDL is a schema language to represent the
results of modeling audiovisual data, i.e.
DSs and Ds.
It was decided to adopt XML Schema Language
from W3C as the MPEG-7 DDL. The DDL will
require some specific extensions to XML
Schema
WHAT IS XML ?
• Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a
subset of SGML (ISO standard). Its goal
is to enable generic SGML to be
processed on the Web in the same way
that is now possible with HTML. XML
has been designed for ease of
implementation compared to SGML.
XML defines document structure and
embeds it directly within the document
through the use of markups. A markup is
composed of two kinds of tags which
encapsulate data : open tags and close
tags. XML is similar to HTML but the
tags can be defined by the user. The
definition of valid document structure is
expressed in a language called DTD
(Document Type Definition).
SIMPLE EXAMPLE of an XML
DOCUMENT :
<letter>
<header>
<name>Mr John Smith</name>
<address>
<street>15 rue Lacepede</street>
<city>Paris</city>
</address>
</header>
<text>Dear Mr Doe, .....</text>
</letter>
XML Schema: Structures
XML Schema consists of a set of structural
schema components which can be divided
into three groups. The primary components
are:
The Schema – the wrapper around the definitions
and declarations;
• Simple type definitions;
• Complex type definitions;
• Attribute declarations;
• Element declarations.
The secondary components are:
• Attribute group definitions;
• Identity-constraint definitions;
• Model group definitions;
• Notation declaration
The third group are the "helper" components
which contribute to the other components and
cannot stand alone:
• Annotations;
• Model groups;
• Particles;
• Wildcards.
Simple example of a DTD file :
<!DOCTYPE letter[
<!ELEMENT letter (header, text)>
<!ELEMENT header (name,address)>
<!ELEMENT address (street, city)>
<!ELEMENT
<!ELEMENT
<!ELEMENT
<!ELEMENT
]>

What is an XML schema ?
The purpose of an XML schema is almost
the same than a DTD except that it goes
beyond the current functionalities of a
DTD and allows more precise datatype
definitions and easier reuse of structure
definitions. Schema can be seen as an
extended DTD. Even more important is
that an XML schema is itself an XML
document.
XML Schema Overview
The DDL can be broken down into the
following logical normative components:
• XML Schema Structural components;
• XML Schema Datatype components;
• MPEG-7 Extensions to XML Schema
The MPEG-7 DDL is basically XML
Schema Language but with some MPEG7-specific extensions such as array and
matrix datatypes.
The DDL allows to define complexTypes
and simpleTypes. The complexTypes
specify the structural constraints while
simpleTypes express datatype constraints
MPEG-7 Extensions to XML Schema
• Parameterized array sizes;
• Typed references ;
• Built-in array and matrix datatypes;
• Enumerated datatypes for MimeType,
CountryCode, RegionCode,
CurrencyCode and CharacterSetCode
XML Schema Language parsers available:
XSV - Open Source Edinburgh Schema
Validator (written in Python)
XML Spy - Validating XML Editor
Xerces - Open source XML Parsers in Java
and C++

MPEG-7 Visual
MPEG-7 Visual Description Tools included in
the standard consist of basic structures and
Descriptors that cover the following basic
visual features: Color, Texture, Shape, Motion,
Localization, and Face recognition. Each
category consists of elementary and
sophisticated Descriptors.
Visual Descriptors
Basic Descriptors
There are five Visual related Basic structures: the
Grid layout, and the Time series, Multiple view, the
Spatial 2D coordinates, and Temporal interpolation.
Color Descriptors
There are seven Color Descriptors: Color space,
Color Quantization, Dominant Colors, Scalable Color,
Color Layout, Color-Structure, and GoF/GoP Color.
VISUAL DESCRIPTORS AND
DESCRIPTION SCHEMES
Descriptors: representations of features
that define the syntax and the semantics of
each feature representation.
Description Schemes: specify the structure
and semantics of the relationships between
their components, which may be both
Descriptors and Description Schemes
BASIC STRUCTURES
GRID LAYOUT
The grid layout is a splitting of the image into a set of rectangular
regions, so that each region can be described separately. Each region of
the grid can be described in terms of other descriptors such as color or
texture.

1.Color quantization
This descriptor defines the quantization of a
color space. The following quantization types
are supported: uniform,subspace_uniform,
subspace_nonuniform and lookup_table.
1. Dominant color
This descriptor specifies a set of dominant
colors in an arbitrarily-shaped region. It
targets content-based retrieval for color, either
for the whole image or for an arbitrary region
(rectangular or irregular)

Texture browsing
This descriptor specifies a texture browsing descriptor.
It relates to a perceptual characterisation of texture,
similar to a human characterisation, in terms of
regularity, coarseness and directionality. This
representation is useful for browsing applications and
coarse classification of textures. We refer to this as the
Perceptual Browsing Component (PBC).

SHAPE
Region shape
T s The shape of an object may consist of either a single
connected region or a set of disjoint regions, as well as some
holes in the object.
SHAPES
The region-based shape descriptor utilizes a set of ART (Angular
Radial Transform) coefficients. ART is a 2-D complex transform
defined on a unit disk in polar coordinates,

is an image function in polar coordinates, and V nm (  , q )
is the ART basis function. The ART basis functions are separable
along the angular and radial directions, i.e.,

ART BASIS FUNCTIONS
CONTOUR SHAPE
The object contour shape descriptor describes a closed
contour of a 2D object or region in an image or video
sequence
The object contour-based shape descriptor is based on the Curvature Scale Space
(CSS) representation of the contour
HOW THE CONTOUR IS CALCULATED?
N equidistant points are selected on the contour, starting from an
arbitrary point on the contour and following the contour
clockwise. The x-coordinates of the selected N points are grouped
together and the y-coordinates are also grouped together into two
series X, Y. The contour is then gradually smoothed by repetitive
application of a low-pass filter with the kernel (0.25,0.5,0.25) to X
and Y coordinates of the selected N contour points
GlobalCurvatureVector
This element specifies global parameters of the contour, namely the

Motion trajectory
Motion Trajectory is a high-level feature associated with a moving region, defined
as a spatio-temporal localization of one of its representative points (such as
centroid
Parametric motion
This descriptor addresses the motion of objects in video sequences, as well as
global motion
Motion activity
The activity descriptor captures intuitive notion of “intensity of action” or “pace of
action” in a video segment. Examples of high activity include scenes such as “goal
scoring in a soccer match”, “scoring in a baseball game”, “a high speed car chase”,
etc. On the other hand, scenes such as “news reader shot”, “an interview scene”,
“a still shot” etc. are perceived as low action shots
Localization
Region locator
This descriptor enables localization of regions within images or frames by
specifying them with a brief and scalable representation of a Box or a Polygon
Spatio-temporal locator
The SpatioTemporalLocator describes spatio-temporal regions in a video sequence
and provides localization functionality especially for hypermedia applications.
It consists of FigureTrajectory and ParameterTrajectory.

SPOKEN CONTENT DESCRIPTORS
Spoken Content DS consists of combined word and phone lattices for
each speaker in an audio stream
The DS can be used for two broad classes of retrieval scenario: indexing
into and retrieval of an audio stream, and indexing of multimedia objects
annotated with speech
EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
Recall of audio/video data by memorable spoken events. An example
would be a film or video recording where a character or person spoke a
particular word or sequence of words. The source media would be
known, and the query would return a position in the media
Spoken Document Retrieval. In this case, there is a database consisting
of separate spoken documents. The result of the query is the relevant
documents, and optionally the position in those documents of the
matched speech.

TIMBRE DESCRIPTOR
Timbre Descriptors aim at describing perceptual features of instrument
sounds. Timbre is currently defined in the literature, as the perceptual
features that make two sounds having the same pitch and loudness
sound different. The aim of the Timbre DS is to describe these perceptual
features with a reduced set of descriptors. The descriptors relate to
notions such as “attack”, “brightness” or “richness” of a sound.
