AMTM: an adaptive multimedia transport model

Abstract

With the rapid development of computer network, there appear so many new applications and multimedia data that the chasm, which between the singularity of data sources and the variation of network, terminal devices and users, grows wider and wider. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm, known as Adaptive Multimedia Transport Model (AMTM), and implement an adaptive supporting platform for multimedia delivery, which can dynamically transcode the multimedia data to accustom them to the variation as said above without data redundancy, so it will become more convenient to develop new applications with the automatic adaptability.© (2000) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
