TL;DR: This work presents a system that adapts multimedia Web documents to optimally match the capabilities of the client device requesting it using a representation scheme called the InfoPyramid that provides a multimodal, multiresolution representation hierarchy for multimedia.

Abstract: A method of adapting multimedia content to a client device, wherein the multimedia content includes one or more items and the client device has capabilities and resources associated therewith, is provided. The method includes transcoding the multimedia content into a plurality of transcoded content versions, wherein the plurality of transcoded content versions have different modalities and resolutions associated therewith. Next, the transcoded content versions that are not compatible with client device capabilities are filtered out. Then, at least a portion of the resources associated with the client device are allocated among the one or more items of the multimedia content. Lastly, one or more of the transcoded versions of the multimedia content are selected to generate a customized content based on allocation of the client device resources.

TL;DR: In this paper, a framework is provided for describing multimedia content and a system in which a plurality of multimedia storage devices employing the content description methods of the present invention can interoperate.

TL;DR: In this article, an image processing system is used to recognize objects within a scene using an illumination source for illuminating the scene, which can recognize objects independent of size and number and can also recognize objects that is was not originally programmed to recognize.

TL;DR: In this article, a system for modifying Web content files for display on pervasive computing devices that have smaller displays and various performance limitations compared with desktop computing devices is described, and a link to a content modification file that contains information about how to modify elements within the HTML file so as to render the HTML files displayable via the pervasive computing device.
