9
- 10:30 JPEG2000 Suite of
Standards and Current Applications (Bernard Brower, ITT
Space Systems)
Mr. Brower will describe the technology and background of
the different parts of the JPEG 2000 standard. He will also
discuss the markets and applications currently using JPEG
2000. Specifically, Mr. Brower will discuss applications in
Digital Cinema, Remote Sensing, Medical Imaging, and
Document Imaging.

- 10:45 Break
10:45 - 11:15 Is Standardization
Equipped to Deal with Convergence? (Leonardo Chiariglione,
CEDEO.net)
11:15
- 12:45 AVC: Technology and
Applications (Ajay Luthra, Motorola)
AVC is revolutionizing modern day digital video
communications. Economically, the most successful
application of this standard has been in the distribution
of video for digital TV. Today, it is getting commonly used
for the delivery of digital TV over a wide range of
channels and has spawned many new markets in this arena. In
this presentation, after providing an overview of the
technology behind the AVC standard, we will cover how it is
used in the digital TV space, what are the problems, issues
and challenges associated with it, and what new
applications related to digital TV may emerge in the
future.

- 3:40 MPEG Surround -
Integrating recent advances in audio compression (Schuyler
Quackenbush, Audio Research Labs)
MPEG Surround exploits how humans perceive sound in space
to achieve compression of a multi-channel audio program.
This talk will present the architecture of the MPEG
Surround encoder and decoder and give an overview of how
the individual tools operate. Particular attention will be
given to the perceptual mechanisms that permit MPEG
Surround to achieve its significant level of compression.
An MPEG Surround signal compression system is additionally
composed of a mono or stereo audio coder, which is often a
High Efficiency Advanced Audio Coder (HE-AAC).
The talk will also review how the entire signal chain of
HE-AAC and MPEG Surround exploits the perceptual mechanisms
of simultaneous masking, high-frequency acuity and sound
source localization to achieve a powerful multi-channel
audio compression system.

4:00 - 5:30 Digital Rights Management:
Technology and Applications (Xin Wang,
Contentguard)
With advances in coding efficiency, delivery channel
bandwidth and variety and portable storage capacity,
downloading and streaming of multimedia content to play,
edit, share and redistribute have become relatively
seamless and effortless. A challenge faced in the
multimedia industry is how to support and govern the use
and distribution of multimedia content in proper manners,
in order to create practical yet profitable business models
for content and service providers, and at the same time to
bring easiness and convenience in accessing premium and
user-generated content to consumers using a variety of
terminal devices. Digital rights management (DRM), a
unified approach to specifying, interpreting, enforcing and
managing digital rights throughout the entire life cycle of
digital assets, has been developed to provide effective and
desirable technologies to meet this challenge. This
tutorial gives an overview of digital rights management
(DRM), in terms of its key technologies and applications,
as well as related standard activities.
