High resolution and high frame rate video formats, e.g. 1080@50p/60p, surpassing current HDTV have been developed for various applications and are emerging in the industry. However the max video frame size and frame rate are limited by the level definitions in the current MPEG standards. The purpose of this amendment of ISO/IEC 13818-2 is to define new levels to support high resolution video formats.

Standard for coding of multiview video, i.e. multiple synchronized video streams that show the same scene from different viewpoints. This is necessary to enable systems and applications for free viewpoint video and 3D video (e.g. m-view displays), where two or more views need to be transmitted simultaneously. The goal is to allow decoding of multiple views and to achieve better compression than for the case of simulcasting these views.

FAMC is a tool to compress an animated mesh by encoding on a time basis the geometry (position) and attributes (normals, colors …) of vertices composing the mesh. FAMC is independent on the manner how animation is obtained (deformation or rigid motion), encoding directly the results of the animation.

The combination of the three profiles allows progressive and adaptive transmission over networks of large 3D environments and/or complex 3D shapes.

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.

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).

While the current MPEG-7 standard provides tools to describe multimedia content, the interface to support queries in a MPEG-7 database is not yet defined. Because standardized interfaces are not defined, each MPEG-7 database offers its own query interface, which prevents clients experiencing aggregated services from various MPEG-7 databases Providing a standardized interface to MPEG-7 databases will allow the users to describe their search criteria with a set of precise input parameters and give a set of preferred output parameters to describe the return result sets. In addition, with query management tools, users can refine their queries for specific content. The goal of this work on a query format is to provide the industry with a unified/standardized way to accept and respond to user requests for multimedia content searches.

• Scalable Grouping: A structuring and grouping mechanism for the dependencies that exist in a group of pictures and within each sample to obtain a flexible stream structure that provides scalability such as spatial, temporal and quality scalability.
• AVC Compatibility: A provision for storing in an AVC compatible manner, such that the AVC compatible base layer can be used by any existing AVC FF compliant reader.

CCR provides a description of media decoder configuration, which contains syntax parsing and decoding process. Now, the design of CCR is mainly done in video coding, but may be applicable to audio and other media coding. Using CCR and a toolbox containing functional units (FUs), a decoding solution may be implemented. CCR may support the toolbox with MPEG tools as well as the toolbox with nonMPEG tools.

The goal of this standard is to specify an architectural model able to accommodate (1) third-party XML based description of scene graph and graphics primitives with (2) (potential) binarisation tools and with (3) MPEG-4 3D Graphics Compression tools specified in ISO/IEC 14496-2, ISO/IEC 14496-11 and ISO/IEC 14496-16.

The advantages of such approach are on one side the use of powerful compression tools for graphics and one other side the generality of graphics primitives representation. Hence, compression tools developed in ISO/IEC 14496-2, ISO/IEC 14496-11 and ISO/IEC 14496-16 would not be applied only to the scene graph defined by ISO/IEC 14496-11 but to any scene graph definition. The bitstreams obtained when using the model are MP4 formatted and contains XML (or binarized XML) for the scene graph and binary elementary streams for graphics compression (geometry, texture and animation).

This project will provide a standardized framework that enables the interoperability between virtual worlds (as for example IMVU, Google Earth and many others) and the real world (sensors, actuators, social and welfare systems, banking, insurance, travel, real estate and many others). Virtual Worlds are 3D space where people can work, interact, play, travel, learn and augment real life. The broad acceptance of virtual words (social networks, serious games,…) and the relation to the real world (devices and real world networks) brings emerging (business) opportunities and challenges; the resulting interoperability will enable a new and sustainable industry. It is foreseen that this project will enable the start of the next revolution of the internet and related technologies, which will become a major source of information, services, education and entertainment and associated business in the ‘digital society’.

Stereoscopic content provides natural three-dimensional scenes which are displayed using solved acquisition/generator techniques. The market for applying stereoscopic contents on respective devices is fully formed and is ready for deployment. Consequently, there is a need for standard data for acquisition/creation, storage, transmission and playing of stereoscopic contents. The Stereoscopic MAF addresses both stereoscopic images and videos (with associated audio), and should also include some protection capabilities.
