This standard contains all the 3D Graphics tools developed by MPEG since 2001. They are classified in representation and compression tools. In the first category there are high order surface representation, subdivision surfaces, implicit equation-based volume representation, shape deformation models. The 3D Graphics compression toolbox handles three types of graphics data: geometry (3D Mesh Compression, Wavelet Subdivision Surface, MeshGrid, FootPrint), appearance (Depth-based Image Representation, PointTexture) and animation (Bone-based Animation, Frame-based Animated Mesh Compression). The standard also defines profiles for using MPEG-4 3D Graphics tools in applications. |

This standard defines three profiles: one for Graphics dimension (called Basic AFX Graphics), one for Scene Graph dimension (called Basic AFX Scene Graph) and one for compression dimension (called 3D MultiResolution Compression). The combination of the three profiles allows progressive and adaptive transmission over networks of large 3D environments and/or complex 3D shapes. |

SC-3DMC aims to provide efficient and scalable-complexity 3D mesh compression for 3D vertex positions, normals, texture coordinates, other attributes per vertex, and topology. Scalable complexity is targeted for both, decoder and encoder. In particular, this standard aims to enable real-time applications on devices with low computational and memory capacities such as smart phones. |

To fix possible backward compatibility issues related to introduction of the new subtable formats for “many-to-one character range mappings” in last-resort fonts. The changes introduced by this amendment ensure that new fonts can be rendered by the existing font engines and provide a mechanism that would allow existing font engines to completely ignore the new subtable formats while allowing them to be used in newly designed fonts. |

The advances in developing the Unicode Standard and the addition of new characters that represent most of the world's languages and writing systems resulted in a significant increase of the Unicode character repertoire to more than 100,000 characters. However, due to the finite size of many bitfields, the existing ISO/IEC 14496-22:2009 specification only provides the capabilities for a single font to support up to 64K glyphs. The Composite Font Standard is intended to resolve the existing limitation by providing a solution that would allow linking of existing OFF fonts (and, possibly, fonts in other formats) into a single Composite Font to be used as a virtual font by any compliant implementation. |

Spatial Audio Object Coding represents several audio objects by first combining the object signals into a mono or stereo signal, whilst extracting parameters from the individual object signals based on knowledge of human perception of the sound stage. These parameters are coded as a low bitrate side-channel that the decoder uses to render an audio scene from the stereo or mono down-mix such that the aspects of the output composition can be decided at the time of decoding. |

Unified Speech and Audio Coding is a single, unified coder with performance that equals or surpasses that of dedicated speech coders for speech signals and dedicated music coders for music signals over a broad range of bitrates. It employs time-domain linear prediction and residual coding tools for speech-like signal segments and transform coding tools for music-like signal segments and is able to switch between the tool sets in a dynamic, signal-responsive manner. |

The overall amount of video data rate that is to be transferred over networks will continue to grow at a very fast pace, driven by the increased number of services and users and the increasing resolution of video from SD to HD and beyond. High-efficiency video coding (HEVC) is the next generation of video compression technology that will have clearly higher compression capability than the existing AVC standard in its dominant configuration, the High Profile. The HEVC standard will support all commonly used progressive scan picture formats, ranging at least from QVGA (320x240) to Ultra HD resolutions such as 8Kx4K, as well as picture formats of arbitrary size. |

Specifies syntax and semantics of the tools required to provide interoperability in controlling devices in real as well as virtual world. The scope of this Part of the standard covers the interfaces between the adaptation engine and the capability descriptions of actuators (sensory devices)/sensors (SDC/SC) in the real world and the user’s sensory preference information (USEP), which characterizes devices and users, so that appropriate information to control individual devices (actuators and sensors) for individual users can be generated. In other words, user’s sensory effect preferences, sensory device capabilities, and sensor capabilities are within the scope of this Part of the standard. These tools are defined in this Part of the standard using XML Schema. The overall structure of the tools are organized and defined by specifying Control Information Description Language (CIDL). The CIDL enables the instantiation of three types of descriptions. The actual descriptions (sensory device capabilities, sensor capabilities, and user’s sensory effect preferences) are not part of CIDL, but defined as the Device Capability Description Vocabulary (DCDV), Sensor Capability Description Vocabulary (SCDV), and User’s Sensory Effect Preference Vocabulary (SEPV), respectively. |

That is, in addition to the audio-visual content of, e.g., a movie, also other sense shall be stimulated giving her/him the sensation of being part of the particular media which shall result in a worthwhile, informative user experience. This motivates the annotation of the media resources with metadata as defined in this part of ISO/IEC 23005 that steers appropriate devices capable of stimulating these other senses. |

Also several classification schemes which are used in more than one parts of ISO/IEC 23005 are defined in the annex of this part. Other tools to be developed shall be included in this part of ISO/IEC 23005, if those tools are to be commonly used with more than one tool which are defined in different parts of ISO/IEC 23005. Please note that most of the tools defined in this part are not intended to be used alone, but to be used as a part or as a supporting tool of other tools defined in other part of ISO/IEC 23005. |

3D video (3DV) supports new types of audio-visual systems that allow users to view videos of the real 3D space from different user viewpoints. In an advanced application of 3DV, denoted as Free-viewpoinT Video (FTV), a user can set the viewpoint to an almost arbitrary location and direction, which can be static, change abruptly, or vary continuously, within the limits that are given by the available camera setup. Similarly, the audio listening point is changed accordingly. The first phase of 3DV development is expected to support advanced 3D displays, where M dense views must be generated from a sparse set of K transmitted views (typically K£3) with associated depth data. The allowable range of view synthesis will be relatively narrow (20 degrees view angle from leftmost to rightmost view). |
