A review of recent developments in MPEG: MPEG-4,
MPEG-7 and MPEG-21. The newest additions to the MPEG-4 Standard explained:
coding tools for studio quality video and fine-grain scalability, as well as
the textual scene description format and the Advanced Timing Model.
Also, an up-to-date overview of MPEG-7, the up-coming content description standard.
Particular attention to describing MPEG-7 technology and to the MPEG-7
validation experiments in applying the standard to real-world questions.
The session
closed with a brief introduction to the work being done under the umbrella of
