MDTools
Introduction
The MDTools application generates MPEG-7 XML files with
multimedia information and its associated metadata. The main tools that
integrates are:
- Timeline/segment edition: in this edition mode, segments
of multimedia content can be edited, synchronised and re-segmented by
hand if needed. We can associate media information to the segments (audio,
video, score files, etc.), create links between them, and add MPEG-7
metadata (descriptors, semantics, etc.). All that metadata can be used
to search & retrieval purpouses.
- Classification Schemes: hierarchical view to create
taxonomies. We can link that with the information in the segments. A
classification scheme can be used, for instance, to search the segments
that have violins playing.
- Audio analysis and segmentation: a set of tools are
added to make audio analysis of MPEG-7 Audio LLDs and HLDs (Low/High
Level Descriptors). Interesting uses of that tools are automatic segmentation
of the content, melody recognition or sound classification. Some of
these tools are useful to generate the analysis needed for the OperaTutor
application and also for audio-score synchronization.
