1 Media coding

1.1 Frame Packing Arrangement Signalling in MPEG-2 Video

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
2	2	4		This amendment specifies a way to indicate that the decoded video produced by the decoding process for an MPEG-2 Video bitstream contains a "frame-compatible" packed representation of two stereoscopic video views for 3D display.

1.2 Frame Packing Arrangement Signalling for Quincunx Pattern

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
2	2	1	12359	This amendment specifies a way to indicate that the decoded video produced by the decoding process for an MPEG-2 Video bitstream contains a "frame-compatible" packed representation of.

1.3 Low Delay AAC V2 Profile

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	3	3		This profile permits MPEG-4 ER AAC ELD coders to operate in conjunction with LD MPEG Surround coders. This combination gives high-compression low-latency stereo codec consisting of an ER AAC LD monophonic core coder that uses LD MPEG Surround as encoder pre-processor and decoder post-processor. Furthermore, the connection between coders can be done in the LD Filterbank domain, the giving a low latency and low complexity implementation.

1.4 Progressive High Profile

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	10	1		This amendment specifies two enhancements of AVC: 1) It specifies a new Level 5.2 for AVC profiles that is capable of supporting high resolution video at high frame rates, such as 4096x2160 @ 60p, and 2) It specifies an additional profile of AVC called the Progressive High Profile, that is similar to the previously-existing High Profile but does not support field picture coding and macroblock-adaptive frame/field coding (i.e., features informally known as "interlace coding tools").

1.5 New SEI message on MVC view and additional signaling in frame packing SEI signaling

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	10	1

1.6 Efficient representation of 3D meshes with multiple attributes

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	16	2		This standard aims to provide a compact object graph representation of meshes with multiple attributes (e.g. normals, colors, texture coordinates) defined per vertex.

1.7 Multi-resolution 3D mesh coding

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	16	2		The coding of 3D meshes utilizing a multi-resolution approach enables the progressive transmissions of static 3D objects, starting from a coarse mesh and adding details to reconstruct the mesh at higher resolutions. The main purpose is to enable the control of the reconstructed mesh resolution with respect to the conditions imposed by the transmission bandwidth, terminal characteristics and position of the object in the 3D scene.

1.8 Composite Font Representation

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	22			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.

1.9 OFF Additional script and language tags

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	22	2		The amendment introduces new script tags to address the changes that were recently added in Unicode 5.2 and Unicode 6.0 standards. It also includes new language tags in accordance with ISO 639/3, and updates and clarifications for different parts of the Open Font Format specification, including the definition of the MIME type for OFF format and its subsets.

1.10 Web Video Coding

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
				WVC coding aims to deliver a video coding standard based on royalty-free technology with a performance similar to AVC Baseline Profile

1.11 Contract Expression Language

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
21	20	1^st E		The Contract Expression Language specifies a language for representing agreements made in an environment of use of MPEG-21, being these contracts about both transactions of content packed as Digital Items as well as services provided around this content

1.12 CAL Extensions

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
B	4			This amendment contains a precise specification of the RVC computation model, RVC-CAL I/O extended support, definition of typing rules for large number arithmetic and (non-normative) definition of Functional Unit dataflow classes, classification rules and methods.

1.13 Reconfigurable Media Coding

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
C	4			Reconfigurable Graphics Coding (RGC) is borrowing the essential idea of the RVC framework that is a dynamic dataflow mechanism of constructing new video codecs by a collection of video coding tools from video tool libraries. The difference is here that RGC deals with graphics, therefore its goal is to set up the collection of graphics tool library.

1.14 Media Context and Control – Control Information

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
V	2			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.

1.15 Media Context and Control – Sensory Information

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
V	3			To enhance the experience of users while consuming media resources by stimulate also other senses than vision or audition, e.g., olfaction, mechanoreception, equilibrioception, thermo(re)ception, or proprioception. 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.

1.16 Media Context and Control – Virtual World Object Characteristics

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
V	4			The scope of MPEG-V Part 4 - Virtual World Object Characteristics is to standardize a set of types used to characterize a virtual world object related metadata, making possible to migrate a virtual object or its characteristics from one virtual world to another and control a virtual world object in a virtual world by real word devices. A dedicated set of tools are standardized for avatars characteristics.

1.17 Media Context and Control – Data Formats for Interaction Devices

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
V	5		10990	Specifies syntax and semantics of the data formats for interaction devices, Device Commands and Sensed Information, required for providing interoperability in controlling and sensing interaction devices. The interaction devices include both actuators and sensors to provide a wide range of interaction capabilities in real as well as virtual world.

1.18 Media Context and Control – Common Types and Tools

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
V	6			Specifies syntax and semantics of the datatypes and tools common to the tools defined in other parts of ISO/IEC 23005. To be specific, basic data types which are used as basic building blocks in more than one tools of ISO/IEC 23005, color-related basic types which are used in light and color related tools to help specifying color related characteristics of the devices or commands, and time stamp types which can be used in device commands and sensed informations to specify timing related information. 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.

1.19 High-Efficiency Video Coding

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
				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.

1.20 3D Audio

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
H	3	1E		This is an exploration of the role that MPEG audio standardization can play in two emerging trends in multi-media. The first is "3-D Audio" in which there may be many loudspeakers used in the audio presentation. Issues being explored are how to automatically adapt audio program material to the target number of loudspeakers in a given consumer's listening venue. The second is "Audio for new video presentation" in which the video will very high resolution (as in MPEG HEVC). This would permit a closer viewing distance such that the user is within the audio near field. Issues being explored are how the audio presentation (i.e. number and position of loudspeakers) can enhance sound source localization and the sense of immersiveness. Both large "home theatre" and smaller portable audio-visual presenations are being considered.

1.21 3D Video Coding

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
				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).

2 Composition coding

2.1 Scene Description Based Collaborative Applications

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	11	4		The Widgets Extensions amendment of 23007-1 contains a small set of extensions coming from early implementation experience. The protocol for widget migration has been defined to ensure the interoperability of widget managers sharing the same service protocol. The possibility to migrate a widget to multiple other widget managers has been added. A simple capabilities exchange mechanism has been added for a widget manager to be able to migrate the appropriate version of a widget to another widget manager.

2.2 Advanced User Interaction

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	20	4		Specifies advanced user interaction interfaces to support various advanced user interaction devices such as a multi-point interaction device. A mapping mechanism needed to utilize ISO/IEC 23005-5 Data Formats for Interaction Devices in ISO/IEC 23007 is provided in this part. Additional interfaces accommodating Advanced User Interaction that can be utilized by ISO/IEC 23007-1 and ISO/IEC 14496-20 are provided.

3 Description coding

3.1 Audio-visual description profile

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	11			The AVDP profile is proposed as a common metadata format for generating and exchanging information from automatic metadata extraction tools (e.g. speech to text, scene detection, etc.). This standardised metadata will be used as a reference format when such tools are implemented and integrated as web services in future production file-based SOA architectures.

3.2 Compact Descriptors for Visual Search

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
7		1^st Ed		Relating contents of images with databases requires to describe the images and match the description of the image to the one available in the database. This activity strives to create compact descriptors that allow for efficient search of images in databases.

3.5 MPQF semantic enhancement

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	12	2	10962	The integration of semantic retrieval concepts into the existing version of 15938-12 MPEG-7 Query Format is conducted pursuing the same approach, which was used for modelling the search in specific data, namely the XQuery query type and the comparison expressions. Similar the enhancement for semantic retrieval comprises the integration of a SPARQL query type and semantic expressions.

4 Systems support

4.1 Audio Systems Interaction

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	24	1		Amendment 1 to this Technical Report demonstrates the interaction between MPEG-4 Systems and MPEG-D USAC, which can be carried in an MPEG-4 File Format. A very notable benefit documented in the TR is that an MP4-FF edit list can be used with USAC to insure that an exact, finite-duration segment of decoded waveform is produced. This has application in WAV to MP4-FF to WAV encoding/decoding situations such that the decoded WAV file is the exact time segment as the original WAV file.

5 IPMP

5.1 Common Encryption Format for ISO Base Media File Format

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
B	7			This format defines a way to encrypt media (audio, video, etc.) in files of the ISO base media file format family. By using a common encryption format, a single media asset can be used by several services and devices using different digital rights management systems, and the implementation complexity that would be consequent on having duplicate files and formats for the same content can be reduced or eliminated.

7 Transport and File formats

7.1 Signalling of stereoscopic video in MPEG-2 Systems

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
2	1	7		The proposed amendment 7 describes the signaling of frame compatible coding in MPEG-2 video component and service compatible stereoscopic video services that use simulcast of MPEG-2 and AVC video components. For frame compatible signaling of MPEG-2 video component, an optional stream_type and descriptor is proposed. This enables compatible delivery of such services to both 'upgradable' and non-upgradable (deployed) receivers. This signaling scheme for service compatible mode supports delivery of service compatible 3D stereoscopic video where the base view video stream (which is usually 2D compatible) and the additional view video stream are coded independently using either MPEG-2 or AVC video or any combination thereof. The signaling includes new stream_type values and descriptors that assist in composition and rendering of 3D video.

7.2 MPEG-2 Systems DASH support

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
2	1	9	12264

7.3 Simplified carriage of MPEG-4 over MPEG-2 TS

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
2	1	8		Currently multimedia services based on ISO/IEC-14496-1 and ISO/IEC 14496-11 technologies cannot be played by ISO/IEC-14496-1 unaware players, in a backward compatible manner, even if the service uses video or audio components formats playable. Additionally, the carriage of ISO/IEC-14496-1 services over ISO/IEC 13818-1 uses, in some cases, inefficient signalling. This amendment to ISO/IEC 13818- provides mechanisms to use media components in backward compatible manner and improves the delivery efficiency of ISO/IEC-14496-1 multimedia services.

7.4 Various enhancements including support for large metadata

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description

7.5 SAOC transport

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	12	4

7.6 Transport of Unified Speech and Audio Coding

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	3	3		This amendment defines an MPEG-4 Audio Object Type (AOT), audioProfileAndLevelIndication values and UsacConfig() syntax (for use in AudioSpecificConfig()) such that USAC streams can be carried in MPEG-4 Files.

7.7 Sub-track selection & switching

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	12	2		Improves various areas, including sub-track selection and switching (identifying subsets of a track that are independently viable), post-decoder processing requirements, codec-independent video color tagging, and some other areas.

7.8 DASH support and RTP reception hint track processing

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	12	3		This amendment adds support for Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (ISO/IEC 23001-6, DASH) and an informative annex on the processing of RTP Reception Hint Tracks.

7.9 MP4 files as a playlist using file tracks

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	12	4		This introduces a file track feature that enables using ISO Base Media Files as flexible playlists. Among other things, file tracks enable DASH (ISO/IEC 23001-6) clients record received segments into file(s) in a straightforward manner. When compared to using playlist formats or presentation languages (e.g. SMIL), the file track feature may provide the following advantages: - It uses the same parser for both the containing file and the contained files. Hence, when the playback switches from one contained file to another, it is less likely that the playback suffers from interrupts or glitches. - It provides powerful mapping of contained files onto the presentation timeline of the containing file by using edit lists.

7.10 Sub-track definition

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
4	15	1		This amendment improves the ISO Base Media File Format in various areas, including sub-track selection and switching (identifying subsets of a track that are independently viable), post-decoder processing requirements, codec-independent video color tagging, and some other areas.

7.11 MPEG-DASH

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
B	6	1Ed	?	DASH provides a standard way for the adaptive delivery of multimedia content to the enduser. DASH supports on demand and live streaming of multimedia including MPEG content. It enables the dynamically adaption of the content to the network fluctuations and to various device capabilities. It also provide the efficient and ease of use of existing content distribution intrastate finally supports signaling, delivery and utilization of multiple contracture components such as CDNs, proxies, caches, NATs and firewalls, which make it ready to be deployed into existing networks. Finally, DASH supports on demand and live streaming media content with the best quality of experience, as content protection and right managements schemes to provide content protected cases.

DASH	3	1^st Ed

7.13 MPEG Media Transport

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
?	?	?	?	In order to overcome current limitations of available standards in the area of media streaming, the development of a media aware client is envisioned in line with the MPEG philosophy of concentrating the work on the media client. Possible topics of work are: · Transport- and file format friendly stream format · Cross layer optimization between video and transport layer · Error resilience for MPEG streams, · Conversion between transport mechanisms · Content adaptation to different networks.

8 Multimedia architecture

8.1 MPEG-M Architecture

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
M	1	2E		ISO/IEC 23006 or MPEG-M is a suite of standards on Multimedia Service Platform Technologies developed for the purpose of enabling the easy design and implementation of media-handling value chains whose devices interoperate because they are all based on the same set of technologies, especially technologies standardised by MPEG, accessible from the middleware and multimedia services. This part of ISO/IEC 23006 specifies the architecture of the Service Oriented Architecture character that is made accessible through the set of MPEG-M middleware APIs (MPEG-M part 2), elementary services (MPEG-M part 4) and service aggregation (MPEG-M part 5).

8.2 MXM API

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
M	2	2E		This part of MXM specifies a set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) so that MXM Applications executing on an MXM Device can access the standard multimedia technologies contained in its Middleware as MXM Engines, as specified by part 1 of MXM. The APIs belong to two classes — The MXM Orchestrator API, i.e. the API of the special MXM Engine that is capable of creating chains of MXM engines to execute a high-level application call such as Play, as opposed to the typically low-level MXM Engine API calls — The MXM Engine APIs, i.e. the collection of the individual MXM Engine APIs providing access to a single MPEG technology (e.g. video coding) or to a group of MPEG technologies where this is convenient — The MXM Service APIs, i.e. the collection of the individual MXM Engine APIs (e.g.

8.3 MPEG-M Elementary Services

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
M	4	2E		This part of MPEG-M specifies a set of Elementary Services and respective protocols enabling distributed applications to exchange information related to content items and parts thereof, including rights and protection information. The second edition conserves the architecture and design philosophy of the first edition, but stressing the Service Oriented Architecture character. Also, this second edition has been specified to address the demand of service specification for advanced IPTV terminals.

8.4 MPEG-M Service Aggregation

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
M	5	1E		This part of MPEG-M specifies the technology enabling the combination of Elementary Services to build Aggregated Services. The workflow definitions of Services are represented by the BPMN 2.0 XML format, allowing for formal descriptions of the workflows of Aggregated Services, and consequently enabling the implementation automated tools for Service aggregation..

The protocol for widget migration has been defined to ensure the interoperability of widget managers sharing the same service protocol. The possibility to migrate a widget to multiple other widget managers has been added. A simple capabilities exchange mechanism has been added for a widget manager to be able to migrate the appropriate version of a widget to another widget manager.

8.7 MPEG-V Architecture

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
V	1	1		MPEG-V (Media context and control) provides an architecture and specifies associated information representations to enable interoperability between · virtual worlds, e.g., digital content provider of a virtual world, (serious) gaming, simulation, and · real and virtual worlds e.g., sensors, actuators, vision and rendering, robotics. The MPEG-V Part 1 specifies the Architecture of MPEG-V by specifying the components, APIs and use cases.

9.5 Interactive Music AF dynamic volume change

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
A	12	2		This aims to provide a compact representation of the dynamic volume preset in ISO/IEC 23000-12 Interactive music application format. The volume changes can be specified by using time intervals so that dynamic volume changes can be approximated by combinations of linear modeling. Based on this, new representation method provides less required storage space and file parsing complexity of IM AF players while the errors in the volume levels due to time interval approximation which does not affect the audio quality significantly.

9.6 Augmented Reality AF

Std	Pt	Amd	Req	Short description
				Augmented reality applications refer to a live view of a real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated content, such as sound or graphics. Using MPEG technologies it is possible to design a generic AR browser. Instead of downloading a new and heavy application for every context, users could simply point to a URL. The browser would retrieve a scenario from the internet, start the video acquisition, track objects, recognize few of them from visual signatures, recover the camera pose, download 3D graphics, compose a new scene, get inputs from various sensors, and constantly adapt the interaction possibilities and objects from a remote server to offer an optimal AR experience. Instead of developing a new application for each use case and smart-phone platform, the industry could rely on MPEG-compliant authoring tools, and MPEG-compliant browsers to reach the maximum number of customers.
