| Abstract | Content description has become a topic of interest for many researchers in the audiovisual field. While manual annotation has been used for many years in different applications, the focus now is on finding automatic content-extraction and content-navigation tools. An increasing number of projects, in some of which we are actively involved, focus on the extraction of meaningful features from an audio signal. Meanwhile, standards like MPEG7 are trying to find a convenient way of describing audiovisual content. Nevertheless, content description is usually thought of as an additional information stream attached to the actual content and the only envisioned scenario is that of a search and retrieval framework. However, in this article it will be argued that if there is a suitable content description, the actual content itself may no longer be needed and we can concentrate on transmitting only its description. Thus, the receiver should be able to interpret the information that, in the form of metadata, is available at its inputs, and synthesize new content relying only on this description. It is possibly in the music field where this last step has been further developed, and that fact allows us to think of such a transmission scheme being available on the near future |
