Abstract

This paper describes a new MPEG-7 profile called AVDP (Audiovisual Description Profile). Firstly, some problems with conventional MPEG-7 profiles are described and the motivation behind the development of AVDP is explained based on requirements from broadcasters and other actors from the media industry. Secondly, the scope and functionalities of AVDP are described. Differences from the existing profiles and the basic AVDP structure and components are explained. Some useful software tools handling AVDP, including for validation and visualization are discussed. Finally the use of AVDP to represent multi-view and panoramic video content is described.
