Adaptive video and metadata display using multimedia documents

Abstract

Adaptation of multimedia content is a problem which has been addressed from different points of view in existing works. The specific problem of adapting multimedia documents which describe the spatial, temporal and interactive organization of several media elements such as video, text, images and graphics is still an open problem. In this paper, we present a system capable of generating adaptive multimedia documents, based on templates, for the display of video content, annotated with information such as regions of interest, images and descriptive text. We present how we designed our templates, their structure and the adaptation logic, based on JavaScript. Some results are presented and analyzed.
