These advantages, however, are double-edged swords, because they also facilitate unauthorized use of such contents. Data embedding, which places information into the contents themselves, is an approach to address this issue. Embedded information can be used, for example, for copyright protection, theft deterrence, and inventory. This paper discusses our work on embedding data into three-dimensional (3D) polygonal models of geometry. Given objects consisting of points, lines, polygons, or curved surfaces, the data embedding algorithms described in this paper produce polygonal models with data embedded. Data are placed into 3D polygonal models by modifying either their vertex coordinates, their vertex topology (connectivity), or both. A brief review of related work and a description of the requirements of data embedding is followed by a discussion of where, and by what fundamental methods, data can be embedded into 3D polygonal models. The paper then presents data-embedding algorithms, with examples, based on these fundamental methods.

NVoD servers batch customers’ requests by sourcing the same mr$erial at certain intervals called phase offsets. The proposed approach to analytical modeling integrates both customers’ and serviceprovider’s views to account for the tradeoff between system throughput and customers’ partial patience. We first determine the optimal scheduling of movies of different popularities for maximum throughput and the lowest average phase offset. Next, we deal with quasi video-on-demand (QVoD) systems, in which programs are scheduled based on a threshold on the number of pending requests. The throughput is found to be usually greater in QVoD than in NVoD, except for the extreme case of nonstationary request arrivals. This observation is then used to improve throughput without compromising customers’ QoS in terms of average phase offset and the corresponding dispersion.

In this paper, we address the issues in designing metrics that are important in evaluating the Quality of Service(QoS) In this paper, we address the issues in designing metrics that are important in evaluating the QoS of video transmission. There has been little work in det ermining effective metrics of QoS for video transmission that characterize both cost (revenue generated or service demand) and guaranteed service. The metrics of analysis and comparison for video transmission must be determined as an end-to-end measure of QoS from video server to end-user(s). By developing these metrics, we hope to enhance the client, server and networking components of a system with monitoring capabilities to measure and evaluate video characterizations. This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we discuss a workload model for developing and understanding QoS metrics. Section 3 presents empirical studies and experimental justification for the metric selection based on the three systems VOSAIC, hierarchical VOD and the remote VCR systems. Section 4 proposes a new integrated metric for measuring video QoS and the analytical framework to express the tradeoffs. We also propose a metric-based QoS architecture along with negotiation and reward protocols. In Section 5 we discuss related work and conclude with future research directions in Section 6. of video transmission. We propose a new metric for video QoS called the weighted cost-satisfaction ratio based on requirements from two perspectives: the user and the service provider. To understand real video workload environments and user behavioral patterns, we obtained and analyzed empirical results from the VOSAIC (video-over-the-Web) system, a hierarchical video-on-demand (VOD) system and a remote VCR system. Based on these results, we define parameters of resource consumption (storage and network bandwidth etc.) and user satisfaction (jitter, syncbronization skew) and derive analytical interrelationships among the metric parameters. We also draw an economic relationship between the user-satisfaction and resource consumption factors to solve metric optimization relations.","PeriodicalId":250198,"journal":{"name":"MULTIMEDIA '97","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129418836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If such a system is hierarchical, an end-node serv er handles the requests from a particular area, the ne xt server in the hierarchy takes the request over for several end-node servers if those can not answer the request and so on. This architecture pro vides for cost efficiency, reliability and scalability of serv ers. The end-node servers store only a limited set of the o verall available information which changes over time due to user interests. If a video is requested which is not available, this server contacts the next server in the hierarchy. To decide the size and location of the video serv ers and the location of videos in the hierarch y, the access behaviour of users must be considered. Various models for the simulation of user behavior (and thus, of the load induced on the video serv ers) have been presented in the literature. Only a fe w of these models are designed to take long-term effects into account because the basis for most of the models are short-term influences on a single video server and the load on this single machine. In this paper we describe a new user behavior model and show that various assumptions made within other models are unrealistic.","PeriodicalId":250198,"journal":{"name":"MULTIMEDIA '97","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129503188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Video data contains various kinds of information through continuous images, natural language, and sound. For videos to be stored and retrieved in a Digital Library, it is essential to segment the video data into meaningful pieces. To detect meaningful segments, we need to identify the segment in each modality (video, language, and sound) that corresponds to the same story. For this purpose, we propose a new method for making correspondences between image clues detected by image analysis and Iangriage clries detected by natural language analysis.

MPEG-2 video decoding represents a particularly important and computationally demanding application example. Instruction set extensions like Intel’s MMX significantly reduce the computational challenges of this and other multimedia algorithms. However, memory subsystem deficiencies have now become the major barrier to increased performance, partly as a consequence of this improved CPU performance. Decoding MPEG-2 video data in software makes significant bandwidth demands on memory subsystems, which is seriously aggravated by cache ineficiencies. Conventional data caches generate many times more cache-memory trafic than required, at best double the minimum necessary to support decoding. Improving eficiency requires understanding the behavior of the decoder and composition of its data set. We provide an analysis of the memory and cache behavior of software MPEG-2 video decoding, and lay out a set of cache-oriented architectural enhancements which offer relief for the problem of excess cache-memory bandwidth. Our results show that cache-sensitive handling of different data types can reduce trafic by 50 percent or more.","PeriodicalId":250198,"journal":{"name":"MULTIMEDIA '97","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114671682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, it allows the user to perform a quick preview through the video with minimal delay. Second, it naturally supports VCR functionality with almost no delay as demonstrated by the simulation results shown in the paper.
