Definition

Context-aware video production allows using context to describe and store information about the involved physical or computational entities.

Context Awareness

There are several ways applications can utilize information about their context [1]. When considering what context can serve for video at least two types of context are well known and supported by international standards: delivery and presentation (MPEG Coding Standards, Scalable Video Coding). But these are mostly standards that include little support for context aware video production. When focusing on the production of video, context can be used to describe and store information about the situation of involved physical or computational entities. By using standards as MPEG-7, it is possible to store this information in a reusable manner, but the lack of standards to seamlessly integrate different sensors into a recording environment limits a broad utilization of contextual information.
