Presentation Session 1: Content-Based Multimedia Identification: A New Approach for Digital Rights Management

YongHong Tian et al. — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:30:00 PST

The explosive growth of multimedia content on the Internet is revolutionizing the way of multimedia security and copyright management. Unfortunately, the two major technological solu-tions in the past decade, namely encryption and watermarking, are ill-equipped to deal with the change. This article introduces the third solution, i.e., Content-based Multimedia Identification (CBMI). The key idea is to automatically generate a new descriptor from the content, called mediaprint, as the identifier of that media item. Compared with the active protection (i.e., encryption) and authen-tication (i.e., watermarking) approaches, CBMI of-fers a passive but reproducible and reliable ap-proach to manage rights of the digital content.
