Techniques for generating utility-based descriptors from compressed multimedia information are disclosed. A preferred method includes the steps of receiving least a segment of compressed multimedia information, determining two or more portions of utility based descriptor information based on one or more adaptation operations, each corresponding to a unique target rate, adapting the compressed multimedia segment by each the portions of utility based descriptor information to generate adapted multimedia segments, using a quality management method to generate measurement for each adapted multimedia segment, and generating a utility based descriptors based on the portions of utility based descriptor information and corresponding quality measurements.
A method for generating a utility-based descriptor from compressed multimedia information, comprising the steps of:
A method for delivering compressed multimedia information to one or more users, each having one or more resource constraints, comprising the steps of:
A system for delivering compressed multimedia information to one or more user terminals, each having different target bit rates, comprising:
A utility-based descriptor for specifying the delivery of compressed multimedia information to one or more user terminals, each subject to one or more resource constraints, comprising:
