Multimedia applications for playing with digitized theater performances

International audienceThis article presents a multimedia production chain that specializes in semantically annotated digitized theater performances. Semantic annotations--we prefer the term descriptions--are expressed in a description language that combines object-oriented features, taxonomical inheritance and temporal aggregations. The descriptions that are produced from several types of content related to the same theater play are synchronized at several levels of granularity providing rich relationships between the narrative structure of the text of the play and the narrative structure of the digitized theater performances. Two applications for multimedia access and navigation are presented in this paper, namely Dual Players, a navigation application that allows to synchronously play acts and scenes of two recordings; and Synthesizer that produces a raw publication of a new audiovisual document on the basis of the recordings

PACE: an Experimental Web-Based Audiovisual Application using FDL

International audienceThis paper describes the PACE experimental multimedia application that aims at providing automatic tools for web browsing of television program collections; experimentations are currently in progress with a fifty-four Le Grand Échiquier show collection. PACE has been built with the FERIA framework and relies on multiple automatic analysis tools. It is generic enough to easily adapt to other collections. Emphasis is made on the new audiovisual documents description language FDL as it is the core part of FERIA, with a particular attention paid on how it operates in PACE

Un système expert d'aide à la classification taxonomique de classes de descripteurs

National audienceDans le cadre de la valorisation du patrimoine audiovisuel, nous nous intéressons à l'ingénierie d'applications multimédias qui reposent sur des descripteurs de documents audiovisuels. Ces descripteurs sont exprimés dans le langage de description objet FDL qui permet, notamment, l'expression de types de données complexes, définis sous la forme d'une aggrégation de classes de descripteurs, temporellement contrainte par des relations de Allen enrichies de cardinalités et de paramètres temporels. Comment alors, dans le cadre d'un développement objet, définir le lien de spécialisation de classes de descripteurs dont la définition contient de telles aggrégations ? Cet article présente la structure de classification de FDL, ainsi que son opérationnalisation au sein d'un système expert d'aide à la classification de classes de descripteurs audiovisuels

Engineering Multimedia Applications on the basis of Multi-Structured Descriptions of Audiovisual Contents

International audienceWe focus our interest on the engineering of multimedia applications whose purpose is to exploit and make best use of the audiovisual heritage by means of prospective exploration of virtual access to audiovisual documents through multi-structured descriptions of these. Multi-structured descriptions are composed of multiple descriptors that are expressed using the FDL (Feria Description Language) object language whose expressive power is emphasized. FDL notably provides a multimedia developer with operations on descriptions and their inner descriptors, as well as temporal aggregation data types. An experimental multimedia application that makes extensive use of FDL concepts and mechanisms is outlined. It explores the use of syncing between the narrative structure of the text of a play and the narrative structure of different broadcasted performances of this play, at multiple granularity levels
