Part 2: Adding Levels 4a and 5 to Simple Visual Profile
11041 MPEG4 Simple-Profile Level 4 and 5 Proposal - Joseph Meehan, e.al.
10910 USNB Contribution: The need for additional levels for Visual SP - USNB
Levels like these are already used in industry, without being based on an actual MPEG-defined
conformance point. They extend the range of Simple Visual Profile to higher bitrates and
resolutions. Adding them to MPEG-4 Visual as compliance points is a good idea. Enough support
was shown from industry in m11041. Level 4a is slightly different than 4 in Advanced Simple
because VGA resolution is the target. The Video group will start an Amendment.
Need to produce and cross-check the bitstreams: TI, Sarnoff, VBrick, Xilinx committed to doing
this work.
It was agreed that Advanced Simple @ Lx decoder should be able to decode Simple @Lx
bitstreams to keep that part of the hierarchy.
Part 3: New Audio Profile?
A request was put forward in a joint meeting with Audio for the definition of a new MPEG-4 Audio
profile that combines AAC, SBR and Parametric Stereo tools. The proposed profile was added to
the Profiles under Consideration document (N6490), and the requirements Group asked for support
in a resolution.
Part 10: AVC FRExt Profiles (Joint discussions with JVT)
11017 Definition of a 4:2:0 / 8-bit Profile for H.264/AVC FRExt - Thomas Wedi, et al.
11116 Liaison Statement from Blu Ray Disk Founders - BD Founders via SC 29 Secretariat
10867 AVC FRExt Level Requirements for D-Cinema and High Quality […] - Tom McMahon
The 4:2:2/8 profile was dropped. Several proposals were discussed for merging two profiles into
one, possible addressing some factors in the Level definitions, but that approach was rejected. In the
end, the following profiles were defined, with their names:
 4:2:0/8 bit: High
 4:2:0/10: High 10
 4:2:2/10: High 4:2:2
 4:4:4/12: High 4:4:4
Part 18 (?): OpenType as MPEG-4 part?
10893 SMPTE Liaison to MPEG on OpenType® and ISO/IEC 14496-18 - Wendy Aylsworth, et.al.
10912 Proposed conversion of OpenType to an ISO/IEC standard - A. G. Tescher for USNB
OpenType was selected a technology in the past, and met the requirements. At that point it could
only be referenced by MPEG because necessary copyrights were not released to ISO for producing
and ISO standard. Copyright. There is now a new desire to have this as a formal ISO standard. It is
understood that MPEG usually does not rubberstamp external specifications, and also in this case a
process would be followed starting with the past assessment in MPEG on font representation
technology. There is a requirement to that this new part of the MPEG-4 standard do not break any
references, when such references to OpenType are replaced by references to this MPEG-4 part
(applies to both MPEG and non-MPEG standards).
51
An assessment (N6440) was written that summarizes the past work and lists past recommendations
and conclusions. The new work would start from the past efforts.

Some thoughts on 7 Profiling - Masanori SANO
7 Core Description Profile Update - Masanori SANO
A study of FCD (N6491) was created that corrects some inconsistencies in the FCD. It also clarified
the difference between description profiling and systems profiling: description Profiles collect
restrictions on the pure declarative XML. Systems Profiles collect restrictions on what will actually
happen to them if they are binarized, transmitted, stored, etc.
11147 Liaison Statement from IEEE-LTSC - IEEE-LTSC
MPEG looks forward to receiving the mapping of metadata as described in this liaison contribution.

Answer to the CfP on 21 IPMP - Craig Schultz
The MPEG-21 IPMP work was transferred to the MDS group. With relevant experts, this group
started to look at integration, analyzing simple uses. That work will continue in an AHG meeting.
Please see the MDS report for details.
10861 Response […]: Reference Model for IPMP Assessment - Sang-Hoon Oh, et.al.
What was presented in this contribution would not be applicable to the current evaluation of
proposals, but could become something along the lines of the PAT Technical Report, but now for
IPMP tools. The group decided that more clarity on the nature of MPEG-21 IPMP was needed
before the merit of the proposal could be discussed,
52
10874 Improving 21 IPMP Conformance - Experience from 2/4 IPMPX - Spencer Cheng, et.al.
Contribution presented interesting tools. Again, the group wanted to first see more clarity on what
MPEG-21 IPMP is before making/discussing more concrete proposals.
Part 11: Persistent Association Technologies
10876 Summary of Voting on ISO/IEC DTR 21000-1 (2nd Edition) - JTC 1 Secretariat
10887 Summary of Voting on ISO/IEC DTR 21000-11 [SC 29 N 6102] - JTC 1 Secretariat
Technical Reports of part 1 and 11 were approved as there were no comments in the respective
ballots; both will now be published.
10885 Video Extension to Evaluation Tools for PATs - Jong-Tae Kim, et,.al.
This contribution proposes to extend PAT with Video-specific information. See below for the
discussion.
10886 The Composition of Test Video Sequences for Evaluation of the robustness of Digital Video Watermarking - IkHwan Cho, Hae Kwang Kim, Weon-Geun Oh, Dong-Seok Jeong
Contribution suggests adapting choice of sequences for to watermarking techniques? Inclusion of
recommendations on sequences seems a good idea. Individual sequences could be included or
referenced depending on their copyright.
10895 Transaction Watermarking Model for PAT - Won-Young Yoo, et.al.
No reference model for transactional watermarking yet in the PAT Technical Report (this is also
called ‘active fingerprinting’). This was considered a good use case for both audio and video. The
contribution provides test parameters for Video transactional watermarks
After hearing these contributions, the group discussed extending the PAT work towards video, as
had been the original intention. The requirements Group thinks this is a good idea, and it could be
done in a second edition if there are enough experts to complete the task. In a joint meeting with
Video, this was discussed, and some support was given. The group decided to start the work in an
AHG – but the AHG was unfortunately never approved in the final MPEG plenary due to an
oversight (the work is now going to be done and contributed to the next meeting by individual
MPEG members). A proposal for a Working Draft for a 2nd edition was approved (N6493)
At next meeting, we will assess the support for the activity and decide future actions.

France Telecom Requirements for Scalable Video Coding - Pateux, Amonou, Kervadec
Requirements for a scalable video coding standard - Bäse, Hutter, Amon
Requirements for SVC for Video Surveillance Applications - Reichel, et.el.
Mobile communications industry comments on SVC requirements - Justin Ridge, et.al.
Discussion on requirements and applications for Scalable Video Coding - Ulrich Benzler
There were many requirements contributions, which is a positive sign indicating interest for the
work. Together, these present an analysis of requirements from the different viewpoints of various
industries. The break-out group analyzed the requirements and derived an overall prioritization,
denoted by ‘shall’, ‘should’, and ‘may’. There were some conflicting requirements; scalability was
seen as more important to some than to others. The mobile industry seems to be ready to use it if it
exists, but only if it doesn’t compromise efficiency. The surveillance industry seems to be willing to
take some decrease in coding efficiency in return for scalability. A table was added to the
Requirements Document (N6505) that summarizes the requirements from different constituencies.
53
Wording was added to stress that different industries have different priorities, and that the codec
will ideally accommodate these requirements as different modes.
10853 Finnish NB comment: SVC requirements and directions - Mauri Väänänen
Finnish NB presented a contribution on requirements. It requests AVC as a base layer and calls
attention to the importance of low delay (both are now adequately reflected in the Requirements
Document) and remarks that some scenarios are unrealistic, but fails to mention which exactly.
11082 FNB Position on SVC Standardization - French National Body
The French NB calls for the work not to be delayed. The meeting confirmed there are no plans to
delay the work.
Binarization
Tuesday 20 July 2004, 15:05 (Binarization)
10774 Requirement for 21 Binarization - Thomas DeMartini
Requirement that (de)binarization process is neutral with respect to canonicalization was added to
requirements document (N6492)
10848 Application Specific Binary Coding (ASBC) of 21 descriptors for better coding efficiency
It was suggested that this could be done using DIXO’s. MDS will study and revisit the request if
this not the case
11081 Requirement for 21 DID - Bekaert, De Keukelaere, Van de Sompel, Van de Walle
The requirement was changed to
4.2.4.3 Support expressing the equivalence (including bit-equivalence) of Media resources
in an unambiguous and interoperable way
and accepted in the MPEG-21 Requirements Document.
MPEG-21 Outreach
10869 21 Integration and Outreach - Chris Barlas, et.al.
The perception among some outside of MPEG (and even some insiders) is that “MPEG-21 is
complicated set of specifications”. This work should mitigate that impression by mapping concrete
MPEG-21 technologies on actual business practices. The activity would then explain how the
different elements can be integrated to suit the needs of a particular industry. The group thought this
was an excellent idea. It was decided to start with the motion pictures industries in an AHG.
MAF (MPEG-A)
10762 AHG on Multimedia Application Format (MAF) - Wo Chang, Olivier Avaro
10961 MAF Reference Software Workplan Proposal - Wo Chang, Schuyler Quackenbush
10962 MAF File Format Proposal - Wo Chang
MAF Requirements
The MAF’s are going to FCD at this meeting. We had a discussion on which file format to use,
together with Systems, Video and Audio groups. It was decided that the ISO file format, with .mp4
extension, would be most appropriate. The file could contain MPEG-21 specific data and MPEG-4
players without knowledge of MPEG-21 would be able to understand that this is data they don’t
understand – and to skip it. It was noted that play lists are more elegantly and compactly done in
MPEG-21 than in MPEG-7. A remaining question is whether the MPEG-21 data should be XML or
binary or if both would be allowed.
54
Explorations
Scalable Audio Coding
10906 USNB Contribution: Proposed CfP for Scalable Audio under MPEG 21 - USNB
A proposal for a new work item for scalable audio coding contained different elements. The
discussion focused on whether this work would concentrate on:
 Scalable coding, or
 Generic Coding, harmonizing Speech and Audio,
 or both simultaneously
Applications would include multicast scenarios, with truncation at points of replication, and
applications that don’t know in advance what the source is going to be. Uses cases need to be
developed and the desirable compression efficiency, functionality and other benchmarks need to be
documented. Comparisons to the state of the art would be included in a requirement study.
It was considered too early to issue any public Call for Information at this meeting. MPEG should
first get an internal understanding on the goal and merits of such a new work item before inviting
external comments.,
3DAV
A preliminary Call for Evidence (N6494) was approved and issued for Multiview Video Coding.
The accompanying requirements (N6501), extracted from the general 3DA requirements, were
approved as well.
Symbolic Music Representation
The Requirements group reviewed and approved the Call for Proposals for Symbolic Music
Representation, edited by the Audio Group. The evaluation procedure was still draft, and was
therefore put into a separate document.
M3W
A new version of the requirements document was approved (N6530). It is worth noting that
requirements were added for the management of multimedia resources.

Topics
M10907: USNB Contribution: Response to Munich resolution 2.2.3. on the consideration of the
potential for definition of a form of ISO/IEC 13818-1 (MPEG-2 Systems) operation in which the
PCR requirement is relaxed. Concern regarding potential interoperability problems that could be
caused by the relaxation of the PCR requirement (or the creation of a separate profile or similar
domain-specific difference in MPEG-2 TS requirements for this purpose). Suggestion to use of the
"Private Stream" feature (preferably with registration of the Private Stream type) to support the
desired functionality, as the MPEG-2 TS PCR is optional for such streams. Noted.

MPEG-7 Systems (15938-1)
General
Joint meeting about MPEG-7 profile
M11023: Some thoughts on MPEG-7 Profiling: Some very first proposal about MPEG-7 Systems
profiles and levels have been proposed:
- levels: AU size, AU granularity, AU synchronization with the media.
- Profiles: exclusive use of TeM and BiM, joint use of BiM and TeM.
M11004: MPEG-7 Systems extensions, TVAnytime indexing core experiments: Adapt TVAnytime indexing solution to B-Tree indexing and evaluate options (index size and performance).
Use the extended test set. The contribution shows that index list and B-tree indexes have
complementary usage mostly dependent on application usage. Therefore the contribution
recommends not dropping Index list in favour of B-Tree. Contribution m11004 is adopted as a base
for a first draft which is included a core experiment about indexing. A core experiments is set up to
evaluate the integration within the MPEG-7 Systems framework and to clarify use cases covered by
this technology.
M11034: CE-Report on Evaluations of the Siemens Index System: The contribution presents
results of the core experiments related to indexing BiM bitstreams.
M11036: Stream Reordering for Fast Random Access: The contribution presents possible
improvements of the indexing framework to provide more random access functionalities. Further
work on this item is welcome.
Technical Work in Progress.

MPEG-21 File Format (21000-9)
21000-9
Topics
1.
MPEG-21 File Format
Contributions
M10914, M10852: Considered NB Comments from US, Korea on 21000-9, prepared DoCR, FCD
available in a week. Request NBs to look at the technologies under consideration.
Given ongoing work on new tools in MPEG-21 such as IPMP, and Event Reporting, should the file
format be delayed in case this work affects it? Or should it proceed on schedule as we expect little
or no impact, or the delay would be unacceptable? The ad-hoc recommends proceeding.
Systems like the secretariat to be asked to include 14496-12 second edition (see below) with any
purchase of 21000-9. See Systems res.
Realized, with MDS, that we need a URL fragment syntax for ISO-family files, would like
contributions on requirements and solutions. We adjusted the fragment syntax for MPEG-21 files,
to leave 'space' for this work. These fragments (the part after a "#" in a URL) might include stream
selection, time selection, sub-scene or object selection, selection based on meta-data, and so on.
The current file format (Part 12) allows meta-data boxes within (and thus attached to) presentations
(moov box) and streams (trak box). This is appropriate for meta-data attached to media-data. It
also allows a meta-box at file level when the meta-box contains the primary entry point into the file,
such as an MPEG-21 DID. MPEG-7 is currently allowed in all three places. Is there, however,
meaning to MPEG-7 meta-data that is not attached to media data? Allowing this effectively defines
an MPEG-7 packaged file format, which perhaps is not desired.
Technical Work in Progress.

Topics
1.
Binarization of MPEG-21 Data
Contributions
M10774: Requirement for MPEG-21 Binarization. Contribution about schema
canonicalization requirements. This requirement is already satisfied by BiM. Accepted.
based
M10848: Application Specific Binary Coding (ASBC) of MPEG-21 descriptors for better
coding efficiency maintaining interoperability to regular MPEG-21 decoder: The contribution
proposes to use specific schema within the MPEG-21 framework assuming that mapping with
MPEG-21 schemas is available. Further work is expected within DIP to understand the applicability
of this proposal in MPEG-21. Application specific coding should be evaluated in relation with
MPEG-21 DIP.
M10974: Report of CE on MPEG-21 Binarisation. This contribution presents the results of the
MPEG-21 binarization. Significant testset has been gathered and binarization tests conducted.
Several bugs have been identified.

Issues relating to the use of URI Fragment
Identifiers in MPEG-21
Results:
 Reviewed results of CE on Media locators for MPEG-21 using two
approaches – one using MPEG-7 standards based tools and the other
using proprietary URI-based scheme.
Questions:
 Issues were raised about URI-based scheme because of
incompatibilities with existing W3C/IETF practices on URI-fragments
 MPEG cannot define a URI-compatible fragment scheme for media
types that are not under MPEG control, e.g., Quicktime
Actions:
 Adopt MPEG-7 based scheme into MPEG-21 DID specification
 Continue to explore URI-based schemes and applicability to MPEG
media types

o CE on Conversion Parameters – DIA support for multi-step
adaptations
o CE on Bitstream Adaptation in Constrained and Streaming
Environments
 Output:
o MPEG-21 DIA AMD/1  PDAM,

5. MPEG-21 IPMP SW (Part 4):
 Extensive interaction of DID, DII, REL/RDD, DIP, IPMP experts:
o Examined how MPEG-21 elements work together (ungoverned view)
o Examined how MPEG-21 elements could to work together to support
IPMP (governed view) – starting point of framework
 Established initial basis for MPEG-21 IPMP framework:
o Starting from DIDL extension proposal from m10860 – defines
governed-versions of DIDL constructs within MPEG-21 Digital Item
Declaration, e.g., <Container> and <IPMP_Container>, etc.
o Starting point of IPMP descriptors from proposals m10832, m10858
and m10865
 Established IPMP AHG:
o Further developing IPMP DIDL extensions, schema for IPMP
information
o Revising MPEG-21 IPMP working draft – documenting initial framework
89

o AHG Meetings will be held on 24-26 Aug in Mountain View and
weekend prior to 70th MPEG meeting
Output: MPEG-21 IPMP WD v.1
6. MPEG-21 Reference SW (Part 8):
 Disposed of NB comments on CD (all National Bodies approved)
 Adopted new SW contributions on Mobile MPEG-21 browser and Integration
SW for REL, DID and DIA
 Output: MPEG-21 Ref. SW  FCD
7. MPEG-21 Part 10 – Digital Item Processing:
 Did not fully dispose of NB comments on CD (~150 comments)
o Proposed change of API too extensive to be evaluated in Redmond
o Produced Draft DoC and Study of CD
o Delaying MPEG-21 DIP FCD until 70th meeting
 Revising DIP to operate on DID entities (not DIDL XML elements)
 Harmonization of solutions for REL-related DIBOs
 Clarification of DIP text to better define its purpose and relationship to
other MPEG-21 parts
 Established DIP AHG to work on:
o Signaling of DIP profiles
o Evaluating API revisions
o Implementing PlayResource DIBO and DIXOs
 Output: MPEG-21 DIP  Study of CD
8. MPEG-21 Part 15 – Event Reporting:
 Further developed Event Reporting and its relationship to DID, REL, DIA,
IPMP, etc.
 Developed solutions for representing Event Reports and Event Report
Requests in Digital Items using DIDL Descriptor element
 More fully defined data fields of Event Report and Event Report Request
elements
 Demonstrated of Event Reporting software integrated with DID, REL, DIP
 Output: MPEG-21 Event Reporting WD v.2
9. Edited and approved output documents (WD, CD, AHGs, new CEs, etc.)

New Levels in Visual Simple Profile
A request was made for two new levels in Visual Simple Profile. It was emphasized that actually
solutions that use the SP for image resolutions larger than CIF presently already exist in the market,
but are not actually supported as conformance points. In a joint meeting with the Requirements
subgroup, it was therefore decided to start an amendment, both for the standard text (14496-2:2004
Amd.2) and conformance (14496-4:2004 Amd.10) parts. It is planned to go for FPDAM in October
and to FDAM in January 2005 meetings. It was considered important that the new levels are defined
as compatible with the Advanced Simple Profile, such that eg. SP@L4 could be decoded by an
ASP@L4 device.
Documents reviewed:

additional levels for Visual SP

issue related to text part (14496-2:2004) was added which is a typo in symbolic code and may
therefore lead to mis-interpretation. In general, all remaining issues are of low priority, to be
resolved in a later corrigendum. All known bugs in Momusys and Microsoft parts of the reference
software are fixed at this time.
Conformance Corrigendum WD2.0
Fixing of Conformance streams being listed as erroneous in the WD 1.0 from previous meeting is
still at a very early stage. A website to upload and retrieve corrected bitstream has been installed,
but only one additional contribution was made in this period. Therefore, only a small update was
made towards WD 2.0 (N6515) The further procedure of this corrigendum is planned as follows:
–
–
–
The DCOR will be issued October 2004;
All bitstreams that are not available until then will be flagged as to be removed from the
conformance part (14496-4);
As no conformance would exist any more, this would imply a follow-up action where the related
profiles and levels would have to be removed from the standard text (14496-2) at the time the
conformance corrigendum is issued (Jan. 2005). As of today, this would affect all video profiles
103
except for the two Studio Profiles. Simple Scalable and Error-resilient Simple Scalable Profiles
would not be affected directly, but they would not have a base layer after removal of Simple
Profile, which would make them useless.

M10958 Yoshihiro Miyamoto Proposed Corrigendum to ISO/IEC 14496-4:200X 2nd Edition
AVC
In Redmond, a JVT meeting took place in parallel with the Video Subgroup. Main topics in MPEG4 part 10 (AVC) were related to the Fidelity Range Extensions amendment (FDAM in N6539),
edition 3 (N6540), conformance (N6532, N6533, N6534) and software (N6535, N6536,
N6537).The video subgroup recommended approval of all the JVT-related documents by MPEG.

The recommendations of the AHG were approved. Two Core Experiments (on Situation/view based
image clustering and Categorisation of images) will continue. Two new Core Experiments will start:
the first one on Dominant Colour Temperature descriptor and the second one on use of AFR
descriptor for ID-based annotation of images. The description of CE is in the output document
N6518. The library of images for experimentation was further extended.
Joint meeting was held on file formats for the Photo Album MAF – it was agreed that the latest
ISO-based file format can support both media-centric and meta-centric items.
We reviewed updated and issued WD 2.0 of the MPEG-7 new visual extensions. Also, Visual XM
document version 21 was reviewed, updated and issued.

Scalable Video Coding
The first task was review and interpretation of CE results. It was inherently clear that Core
Experiments 1 and 2 were mainly targeting the compression performance over wider ranges of
spatial, temporal & SNR resolutions, while keeping the effort for encoding/decoding as low as
possible. Therefore, the following conditions had been defined in Munich, to be equally used in CE
1 and CE 2:
• Test 1 scenario: 3 spatial & 3 temporal resolutions at 6 rate points
• Test 2 scenario: 2 spatial & 3 temporal resolutions at 5 rate points
• 4 sequences in each test
In addition, Core Experiment 3 investigated possible mappings of PSNR and visual perception by
performing an in-depth analysis of the CfP results. As a result from this CE, it can be concluded that
in cases where SVC algorithms of rather different nature are compared, a useful mapping of
subjective and PSNR seems to be impossible. There may be some indicators that PSNR is useful for
two different variants of the same algorithm, provided that a comparison can be made against a
"high rate reference" (which should be free of visible distortions) as the optimum decoding result.
This would, for example, not be useful for the comparison of de-blocking and other post-processing
algorithms. Due to the result of this CE, it became clear that it would be necessary to perform
subjective viewing tests, for which a new procedure of expert viewing had been proposed (M
10935).
106
The following CEs had been executed:
• CE1: MCTF/2D Wavelet solutions. For each of the following sub-experiments, bitstreams were
provided for both Test 1 and Test 2 scenarios. Participants had agreed on one best solution for
each sub-experiment during the AHG pre-meeting. All CE1 results were obtained by the
software provided by MSRA, or extensions thereof (see AHG report M10758 for more details).
– 1a: Scalable motion information. The participants agreed that the improvement achieved
is not significant in terms of visual quality, Therefore, 1a did not participate in the expert
viewing tests. As scalable motion is partially integrated in the original MSRA algorithm,
this was taken as a placeholder.
– 1b: Spatial transforms. Only one result was reported, which did not show any significant
visual improvement yet, according to the participants' judgement. 1b was therefore
skipped from the viewing tests.
– 1c: Intra coding. The participants selected a 'best choice' for visual improvement, which
moderately applies over most rates.
– 1d: Introduction of base layer. In this CE, it was shown that the MCTF/2D Wavelet
algorithm can be significantly improved by introduction of an AVC (compliant) base
layer at the lowest QCIF rate. It was reported that also an improvement of the CIF
resolutions is achieved, while no significant decrease in quality at the highest (4CIF)
spatial resolution was observed. The participants were able to select a "best choice" of
the different methods investigated.
– 1e: De-blocking in MC. The participants selected a 'best choice' for visual improvement,
which moderately applies over most rates.
Unlike originally planned, it was not possible to combine the best results from the different
sub-experiments. Therefore, these were compared against each other and against the CE2
methods in the experts viewing tests. It could however be assumed that a combination of the
different best results would improve the overall performance of the MCTF/2DWT
algorithms.
• CE2: AVC-based and -extending solutions. CE results were brought by using two different
algorithms, one (2a) being an MCTF-extension of AVC without base-layer compatibility, the
other two (2b and 2c) using a conformant AVC base layer with scalability extensions.
Unfortunatelly, the 2c proponents still used the old rate/resolution settings from the previous
CfP, such that it was not possible to compare with any other algorithms. Two different software
implementations (HHI, University Póznan) were used in CE2.
– 2a: AVC+MCTF+Differential Pyramid (Test scenarios 1 and 2). Results were reported
on sub-experiments 2.1-2.4, a combination of these was provided for the experts viewing
tests.
– 2b: AVC+SNR scalability (Test Scenario 2). Results were reported on sub-experiments
2.5. AVC B-slice pyramid (UMCTF-like) was used.
It was decided to compare the results of 1a (original MSRA algorithm), 1c, 1d, 1e, 2a and 2b in the
experts viewing tests. It was found that the best performance overall is achieved by the algorithm
from 2a (AVC+MCTF+Differential Pyramid). This applies for the wide range of test points,
however some detail loss can be observed in two sequences at 4-CIF resolution, as compared to the
MCTF/2DWT algorithms. On the other hand, the latter ones produce significantly more artifacts, in
particular at low rates. These artifacts are again reduced by the introduction of an AVC base layer
(experiment 1d). 1c and 1e are at many points judged better than 1a (all three of them without base
layer). 2a also outperformed 2b at most rate/resolution points that were available, where however
the comparison is difficult due to the fact that 2b only provided results for Test Scenario 2. The
Results of the visual assessment are documented in N6513.
From the discussions during the Munich meeting, it was considered important to map the
capabilities of scalable codecs with application requirements. A considerable number of input
107
documents was received on this topic, which were summarized in a new version of the SVC
applications and requirements document (N6505), and used in the weighting of different algorithms'
capabilities, for the purpose of the WD decision that was planned for the Redmond meeting. In
general it was found, that different SVC application domains (such as surveillance and mobile
services) emphasize different requirements to be of central focus (e.g. surveillance: Support for
many combinations of spatial/temporal/SNR scalability; mobile: Compression performance must be
comparable or better than single layer). Therefore, one main driving factors for the standardization
of SVC is for sure the good compression performance, which should however come with minimum
penalty when additional functionality is supported. A solution that performs good at some rate
points, but significantly worse at others would not be a good choice. Exactly such behaviour had
been the reason to reject other algorithms from the results of the CfP.
Objections were raised that the CEs that were run prior to the Redmond meeting might not bring
evidence about all possible/useful combinations of scalability, FGS or medium-grain scalability
(MGS) capabilities, capabilities for ROI access etc. Proponents of all solutions claimed they can
fulfill such additional functionalities. On the other hand, evidence is clearly shown from this
reduced set of rate/resolution points that technology exists that can perform high-quality decoding
from truncated bitstreams over wide ranges of rates. Therefore, from the results of the past round of
Core Experiments, the solution 2a must be regarded as the current "benchmark" of the SVC
standardization process. As it could however happen that another algorithm performs significantly
better at intermediate rate points or more flexible combinations of spatial/temporal/SNR scalability
(as to be proven by evidence from future Core Experiments), a certain danger exists that this
benchmark might partially or completely be exchanged by another solution. It is however a part of
the MPEG standards success comes due to the fact that stable solutions are developed (not
exchanging complete concepts at stages of WD or beyond, as it may indeed be practice in other
standardization bodies). Therefore, it was widely agreed in the closing plenary to describe the
benchmark algorithm of CE 2a in a document entitled "Technologies under Consideration for
Working Draft 1.0 of ISO/IEC 21000-13 Scalable Video Coding" (N6519) ("TuCfWD"). This
describes the MCTF process and the differential encoding methods with reference to parts of AVC
edition 3.
As a complement, the Scalable Video Model V 2.0 (N6520) was approved. This document
• describes the requirements for and capabilities of the SVC software (to be used in core
experiments and later be developed into the standard reference software)
• Describes the different capabilities of scalability combinations to be supported and to be
easily implemented (including known technical solutions at high level, such as 2D+t, t+2D,
quantization, entropy coding etc.)
• describes the encoding and decoding processes assigned with specific tools of the
benchmark ("TuCfWD") more precisely
It was agreed in the video group that presently, SVC CEs should be developed from the basis of the
SVM document, i.e. to admit a CE it should fit into the high-level framework of the SVM. In a later
stage, this can be developed into a description of non-normative processes related to SVC (similar
to MPEG-4 Visual VM or MPEG-7 Visual XM).
The Software to be used in the CEs can be regarded as instantiation of the SVM. It should support
easy implementation of the capabilities described in the SVM, as well as extensions thereof. As a
part thereof, software exactly mapping the "TuCfWD" benchmark was donated by FhG-HHI under
MPEG licensing rules. In fact, not all perspectives of the SVM may presently be supported by the
software pacakages provided so far (MSRA, HHI). In the development of the standard, it will be
necessary to further develop into one consistent reference software, which would however be
premature to start before the WD decision is taken. Due to the importance of this, it was decided to
108
establish an AHG responsible for maintenance of the SVM and the SVC software to be used in the
CEs, where already both packages will be run in combination in some activities. This AHG should
also discuss concepts about possible integration of only one package.
The previous round of Core Experiments showed a number of deficiencies, which are only partially
explainable by the fact that the SVC standardization process is just starting its transition into the
convergence/collaboration phase. In particular, it must be stated that many timelines were missed,
and the instability of the CE document could be the reason for some mis-interpretations that
happened. The following guidelines for the CE document and the description of the single CEs were
therefore agreed; it was furthermore agreed that a more precise document describing the SVC CE
process will be developed by the next meeting.
The CE document shall describe precisely for each CE
- a tool or combination of tools that shall be experimented
- the purpose of this tool (or combination of tools) that is challenging the benchmark, shall
improve the benchmark or shall provide functionality that the benchmark is not supporting
- the test sequences and test points used in the experimentation (mapping useful application
requirements)
- the timeline and responsibilities, partners, cross-check parties etc.
- the software configuration (e.g. providing configuration files) that shall be used
- criteria to evaluate this CE
Interrelationship of different CEs must be considered, which can best be achieved by using common
test sequences and test points (whenever possible) to make results comparable. These common
experimental conditions with lowest possible number of test points must be kept fixed (if
reasonable) to be able to track the progress that is made from one meeting to the next. For this
purpose, it is reasonable to retain the sequence/rate/resolution definitions used in the Test 1 and 2
Scenarios of previous round. It is known that these provide operating points for viewing tests with
distinguishable results. In addition, it was agreed that it will be necessary to add more test points.
These will be used to explore the performance of algorithms for a wider variety of scalability
combinations. To make this possible without being forced to compare a large number of results
visually, additional points from a table (t.b.d. in the CE document) will be selected randomly. This
selection will only be made after the bitstreams, bitstream extractors and decoders have been
provided. Therefore, it is expected that it will not be possible to tune an algorithm for optimum
performance
only
at
pre-selected
rate
points.
Core Experiments newly defined may use any of the software package that have been made
available, combinations or extensions thereof. The CEs can be clustered into three different
categories:
• CE 1: The purpose of this CE is to compare complete algorithms, layered combinations of
algorithms or combinations of tools into algorithms. Only a complete solution that has
brought evidence by participating CE 1 can be accepted into WD by the next meeting. If a
solution from one of the other CEs (2-6) intends to be approved for WD, it must become
readily integrated into an algorithm proposed in CE 1 and show CE 1 evidence in time for
the next meeting. CE 1 should provide results from the fixed rate/resolution conditions (as
from Munich) and the new procedure of randomly selected points. Results of CE 1 will
again be compared by the same procedure of experts viewing tests.
• CE 2-6: The purpose of these CEs is to compare evidence of single tools, mostly in terms of
compression performance improvement. The purpose of these CEs is to find promising
techniques that are worthwhile to become integrated into CE 1 by the mid of the period, or
need further investigation in future CEs. Whenever possible, these CEs should stick to the
109
Test 1 and 2 Scenarios of previous round, to minimize the effort. When useful for the
purpose of a specific CE, it might also be subsets or extensions thereof.
• CE 7-8: The purpose of these CEs is to explore additional functionality that are useful from
specific application perspectives.
The list of second and third category CEs is as follows (see details in CE document, N6521):
• CE 2: Base-layer investigation
• CE 3: Coding efficiency vs. low-delay constraints
• CE 4: Adaptation of MCTF update step
• CE 5: Spatial scalability
• CE 6: SNR scalability and FGS
• CE 7: Non-linear adaptation
– Explores the capability of different "traces" of multiple adaptations (e.g. for erosion
storage)
• CE 8: Error resiliency and robustness
– Explores behaviour of SVC in presence of channel errors
– Typically IP, 3G networks
– Usage of MPEG-21 resource delivery testbed planned
Due to the lack of time during the meeting, N6521 needs further improvement, and a 2 weeks
editing period is requested. It is consensus in the group that any experiments which do not provide
the refined description with sufficient precision to guarantee success will be cancelled.
In addition to the reports about CE results, which were treated with highest priority, a number of
technical input documents were reviewed, for which some notes are shortly summarized here. A
complete list of titles can be found below under table c):
M11131. Modify EBCOT such that not the directional correlation is used in temporal lowpass
frame encoding, instead directional prediction is performed. Directional angles are estimated
locally, each macroblock uses only one prediction direction. Gives up to 2 dB for Barbara in JPEG2000 (less in others), and 0.5 dB in Foreman for MSRA MCTF. No other sequences investigated.
M10904. Goal: Design better lowpass filters for aliasing cancellation. Used the filters only for SD>CIF conversion, CIF->QCIF was again done by 9/7. In City sequence, loss of 0.5 dB on SD, gain
of 1 dB at CIF.
M11096) Joint estimation for multiple rate points, some visual gain at highest QCIF rate
M10902. Accuracy scalability of motion vectors, modification of the estimation. Gain of up to 0.75
dB at highest rate (City, other sequences much lower, usually 0.1..0.2)
M11016. Motion coding based on prediction, differences handled by bit-plane coding. Rate
distortion optimization, distortion criterion is difference between "true" H frame and H frame as
generated by scalable motion representation. Implemented in SDMCTF of VUB. Gain of up to 2 dB
at lowest rate for sequences with complex motion, less for sequences with simple motion. Also
integrated into MSRA software; similar gain. All results only in context of quality scalability at CIF
resolution.
M11100. Coarse-to-fine and fine-to-coarse prediction of motion vectors, Laplacian pyramid
approach. CotoFi: Slight increase of PSNR if QCIF motion vectors are used for interpolative
prediction of CIF resolution. FitoCo: Usage of decimated CIF motion vectors improves performance
at CIF (Foreman 1dB, other sequences less), but predictive coding from decimated vectors leads to
some loss at CIF. However, a larger number of blocks is used at QCIF when the decimated vectors
are used.
M11039. Five different intra prediction or interpolation modes. Usually gain at low bit rates and in
cases of complex motion (eventually already at near transition towards "bad quality"?).
M10875. Propose different temporal scalability structures in AVC (p-frame, b-frame, hierarchical bframe). Up to three layers, moderate loss as compared to non-lossless.
110
M11126. 2D+t scheme: problems are high-subband leak and mismatch, non-exchangeability
between s+t. Different methods are investigated (incl. ODWT). Approach that selects additional
highpass coefficient to prevent drift appears most promising. Additional buffers necessary for the
upsampling to full resolution (overcomplete). Request for investigation in CE.
M10993. MSRA barbell lifting uses bilinear interpolation in update step, in case of motion
discontinuities artifacts can occur. In case of homogeneous motion, 2D+t and t+2D would be
equivalent. In case of motion discontinuity, additional highpass coefficients would have to be
transmitted to make it equivalent. Have implemented in reference software. Encoder not changed,
only decoder, DWT interpolation used rather than sinc. Gain approx. 0.1 dB. Small gain visually at
data rates tested
M10997. Propose hybrid layered compression with AVC base and MCTF enhancement. Shows
clear improvement, also in cases of low delay. "Should become basis approach in SVC".
M11084. Investigate different structures wrt delay, e.g. 5/3, Haar etc. E.g. by not performing update,
the delay can be bounded. Generally, performance increases with increased delay. Find that it is
better to keep the update, usually gives better performance in case of equal delay. This is of course
sequence dependent.
M11045. spatial and temporal transforms not interchangeable. Use overcomplete representation to
solve the problem. Tendency: At low rates IBMCTF better by up to 4 dB, at high rates usually 0.5
dB worse than SDMCTF.
M11130. Problem in 2D+t: shift variance of wavelet transform. In principle similar to a completeto-overcomplete transform. Use AVC codecs to code the single subbands. Loss as compared to
t+2D relatively low (but SNR ??) Propose CE to study other structures such as 2D+t or 2D+t+2D.
M10868. Application (JPIP, similar to the military surveillance) which cannot be done without
scalability. Ghosting artifacts if motion trajectory is not appropriate. Adaptively adapt the update
step to circumvent this problem, which even gives sometimes higher compression performance.
Spatial scalability: No interchangeability. Efficient spatial scalability cannot be achieved without
2D+t. 2D+t shows higher aliasing than t+2D, but latter one is inferior when motion model fails.
Best would be to combine both. Use MJPEG2000 variant which extends the blocks into the third
dimension, such that adaptation becomes better.
Joint meetings were held with JPEG and VCEG, the purpose of which was to inform the other
bodies about progress in the SVC standardization process. Unfortunately, when the meetings were
held, it was not yet possible to give any concrete information about progress in technology selection.
Therefore, only information about the status of CE results (including the algorithms behind) could
be given, and the results of experts viewing were shortly imported. Both groups showed high
interest in SVC, in particular raised by the fact that the solutions investigated are using or extending
parts of their own standardization work.

3D AV Coding
Multiview video coding (MVC) is a “tool” needed for new and emerging applications such as Free
Viewpoint Video (FVV) or 3D-TV. A straight-forward solution would be simulcast of AVC streams.
By input brought to this and previous meetings, initial evidence is given that dedicated MVC
methods could outperform AVC simulcast. To prove this, a formal Call for Evidence (CfE) shall be
issued, which may lead to a subsequent CfP on MVC. Such new technology should expose
significant improvement of coding efficiency compared to AVC simulcast, which means significant
improvement of PSNR results and/or significant improvement of visual quality, to be measured
most probably by expert viewing (similar to the procedure employed in SVC development) in the
CfE. Elaboration of an appropriate testing methodology is of high importance in this context. A
proposal was made in M10870 to use DSIS compared to original, which would give a scaled and
quantified test result. This would however be difficult to perform in reviewing CfE results during an
MPEG meeting (maybe later in formal subjective tests when it comes to a CfP). A-B comparison of
anchors against proposals by a more coarse decision (better, equal, worse) would provide the
evidence that is needed, and could easily be performed by an experts viewing procedure.
It is of high importance also to judge the quality distribution over all camera views of a data set.
This means that proponents shall provide detailed PSNR results such as
– Plots of PSNR over frame for each sequence of each data set
– Mean PSNR over each sequence of each data set
– Mean PSNR over all sequences of each data set
This needs to be produced also for the anchors. Results have to be made available for the complete
test data set. The proponents shall report
– detailed PSNR results (as above)
– algorithms
– complexity in relation to AVC (informative, brief)
– target application
115
For the purpose of the CfE, 10 test sequence sets with 5-16 views were provided and encoded using
AVC simulcast anchors. If each set of sequences would have to be encoded at 3 bitrates, this would
make the comparison of  210 sequences for each proposal necessary. To reduce this effort, only
two views shall be selected randomly for the viewing. Additionally, results bringing evidence about
the interrelation between compression and view interpolation could be submitted.
The following timeline is planned
– Preliminary Call for Evidence issued in Redmond (public)
– Preliminary results are requested for Palma meeting to further refine testing
methodology when necessary
– Final Call for Evidence issued in October
– Results expected for January 2005
Technical input was reviewed as follows:
M10929 showed the effect of a spatio-temporal prediction scheme (kind-of multi-frame prediction),
Flamenco and Xmas test sequences were chosen. Large gains are reported for Xmas. Subsampling is
performed by omitting views, gain decreases with camera distance. No gain for Flamenco, gain
increases with temporal subsampling.
M10976 resumes the GoGOP proposal from last meeting, presents extended spatio-temporal
prediction structure. Reports gain of over 1 dB for most sequences of Race2 data set, also visual
quality is improved.
M11014 uses the Aquarium sequence and evaluates spatial and temporal frame differences before
and after compensation. It presents a projective transform (rectification) and evaluates residual error
before and after transformation, which is reduced.
M11132 proposes illumination compensation (IC) for MVC, compares ST method with and without
IC and reports gain from IC in some (sparse) cases. It compares also to AVC simulcast and reports
gain for some sequences

Video Coding Tools Repository
Two breakout meetings were held to discuss VCTR matters during the MPEG week. Three
contributions are reviewed. A joint meeting with Implementation Study Group was also arranged to
discuss issues regarding software and hardware implementation aspects of this work. Throughout
the discussion, the updates are made to the Study 2.0 document as an output.
Some highlights of VCTR discussions are:
 What is the Repository? - Is a collection of decoding functional units extracted from
existing MPEG standards and updated with new tools whose addition has been considered
beneficial by MPEG.
 What is a Decoder Configuration? - A collection of functional units drawn from the
repository. A decoder configuration may be an existing MPEG standard or a new standard
that includes new functional units.
 Intra-only video coding as a starting point – it is decided to pursue VCTR from intra-only
video coding first. It is expected to extend VCTR further to encompass inter-frame coding
and other functionalities in the future.
 Remaining issues – There are some remaining open issues such as software implementation
of VCTR and detailed picture of VCTR. These remaining issues will be discussed through
the continuing AhG activity till October.
Details on VCTR can be found in Study 2.0 document (N6522).

Miscellanea
A joint meeting was held with Requirements on issues of Persistent Association Technologies
(PAT). It was identified that some technical aspects fall for sure into the competence of the Video
117
group; on the other hand, aspects such as visibility of watermarks that seem to be more important at
this moment from a requirements perspective, should rather be discussed with the Test group.

Werner Oomen
audio coding
Philips and CT presented their submission in response to the CfP on spatial audio coding (M11001).
The Philips/CT architecture is completely based on the parametric strereo technology as
standardised in Amd2. Philips/CT presented informal test results for all the 3 configurations that
will be evaluated prior to the next meeting. Additionally, the document contained input on this
evaluation process.
Listening test participants were given careful instructions with respect to assessment of coding
distortions and sound stage distortions. Three test results were presented for 5-1-5 and 5-2-5 with
AAC core and 48 kb/s with HE-AAC core.
Proposals for evaluation of multi-channel material
 Use 5.0 material only
 Use 44.1 kHz material only
Evaluation of downmixed material


Use band-limited ITU downmixes as lowpass anchors
Use RMS values for normalization of downmixes
Selection criterion
1. mean quality is paramount
2. Consistency of individual items (select technology that maximizes the minimum
performance)
3. Complexity
4. Features
Spatial side information bitrate
 Higher for 5-1-5 and 5-2-5, e.g. 32 kb/s total
 Lower rates will be tested by 48 kb/s HE-AAC test scenario
 48 kb/s test will use a single integrated bitstream (with side information muxed into the
main bitstream) so that one can insure that the AAC input buffer requirements are met.
Test material categories




“orchestral” sound stage
“synthetic” sound stage
movie sound track (i.e. strong center channel dialog)
“pathological” material (e.g. castpan or applause)
Jim Johnston, Microsoft, noted that it would be very good if some of the test items represented
acoustic soundfields as result from actual recordings. Many currently available test items are mixed
from discrete voices which may not represent a soundfield of an actual performance.

Kazuhiro Iida
Coding
This document presented listening test results for 6-1-6 and 6-2-6 modes using an AAC core. It
noted that the bandwidth of the proposed technology was limited due the bandwidth of the AAC
core. Side information rate was less than 24 kb/s for 6-1-6 and less than 32 kb/s for 6-2-6. They
matched the level of the Dolby Prologic II signal to that of the other processed test items via multilistener subjective assessment.
123
Kazuhiro Iida presented comments on the evaluation process.
The perception of multi-channel signals have three attributes:
 Spatial (soundstage)
 Temporal (reverberation)
 Qualitative (e.g. timber)
He proposes that listening test responses try to capture
 Spatial attribute (e.g via a separate response panel)
 Timber (e.g. via a conventional MUSHRA response panel)
There was some very interesting discussion on low anchors: low “frequency” filtered or low “space”
filtered. The Audio Chair suggested that it might be best if the Audio Subgroup not make the CfP
evaluation into a research project on low anchors for spatial audio coding.

Fraunhofer/Agere Submission to Spatial Audio CfP
J. Hilpert
K. Linzmeier
Proposed the following general system characteristics
 That the technology be “coder-agnostic.” One outcome of this position is that the technology needs to adapt to
a range of coder frame lengths.
 That the system does not depend on a given downmix procedure. One extreme of this position is that the
technology support arbitrary, externally generated downmixes of the multichannel signal, most significantly as
done by an expert sound engineer.
Side information rate was less than 20 kb/s for 5-1-5 and below 24 kb/s for 5-2-5.
The presentation suggested that the evaluation might want to consider multiple technology solutions that may present
complexity/quality tradeoffs.

systems for n-1-n and one system for n-2-n. Dolby is able to make available a new 5.1 test item (“Stomp”) for this
MPEG work.
Dolby’s only comment on evaluation process is that the currently proposed Test 3 should instead use a “black box”
encoder rather than a “user-optimized” encoder.
Juergen Herre presented
11076 Juergen Herre Evaluation of Spatial Audio Coding Schemes
This contribution made two points concerning evaluation. First point is that systems that exploit spatial coding may be
optimal at one listener position but not another. Hence it proposes that systems be evaluated for “off-center” listening
positions, or at least that a “sanity check” be conducted at off-center listening positions. This may be implemented as
additional listener instructions and associated listener comments.
The second point is that support for external downmixes (e.g. hand-crafted stereo mixes) is very important for success in
the marketplace. Potential customers that currently rely on such hand-crafted stereo mixes may be reluctant to adopt a
technology that has been tested only on automatically generated stereo mixes. FhG has made available two sets of handcrafted material, one stressing the instruments present in the downmix, the other stressing the soundstage of the
downmix. The goal in using these downmixes is twofold: first to test that a “well-behaved” hand-crafted downmix can
lead to a highly acceptable multichannel signal; the second is that a “pathological” hand-crafted downmix (e.g. missing
an instrument) does not result in a multichannel signal with artefacts due to the missing instrument.
124
Finally, the contribution observes that certain test items will stress the core coder (i.e. AAC at 64 kb/s/channel) to the
extent that the core coder distortion will dominate the spatial audio coder presentation.
FhG endorses evaluation using 5.1 (i.e. subwoofer) signals.
Discussion of evaluation
Paul Jessop, IFPI, stated that many respected mastering studios only produce separate hand-crafted stereo and
multichannel mixes. He suspects that technology that can only present automated stereo downmix from the multichannel
signal will not be endorsed by artists or mastering engineers and hence might not be accepted in the marketplace.
Werner Oomen, Philips, stated that a significant number of SACDs have their associated stereo mixes generated
automatically. Furthermore, he noted that many hand-crafted downmixes may involve dubs to analog tape, such that they
are no longer exactly time-aligned with the 5-channel mix.
This may argue for two use cases:
 Compatible with hand-crafted downmixes.
 Ultimate compression of 5-channel signal, in which case downmix signal does not have to be evaluated.
Jim Johnston, Microsoft, noted that he endorses off-axis evaluation. He also recommends that material be selected so
that it is well-behaved in off-axis listening.

Audio plenary discussions
Parametric Audio Coding Verification Test Report
Werner Oomen presented
11005 Martin Link Subjective results formal verification test MPEG4-Ext2. (Parametric)
Martin Link from the IRT has conducted the formal verification test for Amd2 (parametric). FhG
provided the AAC coded items. The tests have been performed for mono and stereo at bitrates
around 20kbps total, using headphones with 26 subjects. The raw test results were submitted as an
input document to the meeting (M11005). From these test results it could be concluded that the
acceptance criteria were met for stereo. For mono, there were two items that performed statistically
significant worse than AAC on the same bit-rate. It was noted that one of these items was
bandlimited. Overall, the parametric coder performance was comparable to AAC when the latter
was running at 25% higher bit-rate.
Werner Oomen presented
11037 Werner Oomen Complementary information to Formal verification test parametric
Philips brought informal test results (M11037) illustrating the relative performance of parametric at
24kbps stereo compared to AAC at 32kbps stereo. Furthermore, this input showed the capabilities
of the parametric stereo tool. For the same bitrate there is only a slight decrease in quality for mono
125
compared to stereo. The audio subgroup agreed to incorporate the information given in M11037 into
the final test report (N6675) under the heading “discussion.”
Spatial Audio Evaluation
This was the most important work for the week, and the task group spent considerable time editing
the text so that it expressed a consensus view. The result is in N6691, “Workplan for the Evaluation
of Spatial Audio Coding.” Responses
Joint Meetings
With Requirements, Systems and MDS on MAF Tue 1100-1130
Review of AHG report
Part 1 will give an overview of the framework of the MPEG Application Format, while subsequent parts will specify the
application formats themselves. It is envisioned that the reference code for this specification will be only the “glue” code
that is required to integrate the various parts of the MPEG specifications (and there associated reference software). The
file format could be MPEG-4 (*.mp4) or MPEG-21 (*.m21) or one file that is both.
On MAF
10961 Wo Chang, Schuyler Quackenbush MAF Reference Software Workplan Proposal
10962 Wo Chang
MAF File Format Proposal
We expect that there will be two MAF-1 implementations in October. A workplan was presented,
and it was noted that either Osmo4 or mplayer player could be used as a playback vehicle.
Quackenbush reviewed the anticipated DoC for the MAF Music Player CD text, which is
summarized here:
 MP4 file containing a song
 MP21 file containing a song
 MP21 file that is collection of songs (included as actual MP4 files in mdat area)
 MP21 DiD that declares a playlist
 Inclusion of binary metadata
Olivier Alvaro suggested that it might be interesting to include explicit presentation information as
part of the document. There was some discussion, but the consensus was that it would be
appropriate to keep things simple at this stage.
With Requirements on US NB Comment Tue 1130-1200
Jim Johnston, Microsoft, presented
A. G. Tescher for USNB Contribution: Proposed CfP for Scalable Audio under
10906
USNB
MPEG 21
The goal of the proposed work item would be to see what performance could be achieved if there was

No requirement for low-latency (i.e. the system would not be used for two-way interactive
communication)
 No requirement for MPEG-backward-compatability.
And to see if, given this scenario, there is a compression scheme that could approach the
performance of the best speech coders and the best music coders.
Because the MPEG week was very busy, a complete discussion of this task was deferred to an AhG
6668, AHG On Exploration of Scalable Audio and Speech Coding. It is envisioned that the
evidence that would motivate a new work item would be:
 Use case scenarios
o one to many in radio broadcast networks
 Compression efficiency required for success in the marketplace
126

Compelling functionalities
o bandwidth shedding in the network via simple frame truncation
Yuriy Resnik, Realnetworks, noted that we must define “scalability,” For example, is it “midstream” (i.e. in-network) scalability or is it a scalable representation on “disk” by which a server
could stream at various rates.

With Systems on Audio Codec Behavior, Wed 1600-1700
The group reviewed m11080, “Description of Audio Codec Behavior” and made some corrections to the text, which is available as
N6682, “Timestamps and Audio Codec Behavior.” The document concludes that Systems must adjust
time stamps in the case that the audio decoder can operate in a regular (higher delay) or “backward
compatible” (lower delay) modes.
With Systems on AU ballot comments on MAF, Thu 1230-1400
The group met over lunch and competed the DoC for the Music Player CD text. The following
items will be incorporated in the FCD text:
 MP4 file containing a song
 MP21 file containing a song
 MP21 file that is collection of songs (included as actual MP4 files in mdat area)
 MP21 DiD that declares a playlist
With Requirements New Profiles and SMR CfP Thu 1400-1430
Kristofer Kjörling presented the proposed HEAAC V2 profile, which was discussed.
It is necessary to register statements of support in order to motivate creation of a new profile.
Requirements will sponsor a resolution asking for statements of support as contributions to the next
MPEG meeting.
The Audio subgroup will document the proposal in a new version of N6384, “MPEG-4 profiles
under consideration,” which will be an output of this meeting. The Requirements Chair noted that a
request for amendment and associated amendment text must be approved at the Wednesday Plenary
of the next MPEG meeting in order to progress as quickly as possible.
Paulo Nesi presented CfP on SMR, which was approved by Requirements. However, the
Requirements Chair requested that the WG11 IPR policy be explained in a short paragraph in the
Call and also as an attachment to the Call.

Oversampled Audio
At this meeting the Lossless coding of oversampled audio progressed to FPDAM (N6674). Since
there were no ballot comments, there was no DoC.
Discussion on ALS and SLS
128
The task group members did a huge amount of work during the MPEG week to gather information
on performance and computational complexity. The results are found in N6676, “Status of
Performance and Complexity of MPEG Lossless Audio Coding Architectures.”
Compression performance of both systems is very similar, so that the data set does not permit us to
resolve any differences between the performances of the two systems. Tillman wishes to reference
performance of initial submissions. ALS might address very different markets, e.g. the professional
digital audio workstation marketplace, in which processors are floating-point CISC, and the
embedded processor market, in which processors are 32-bit integer RISC processors. SLS is
envisioned to address the embedded market.
It was agreed that the Performance Report will not sum the multiplies and additions into a “Total”
column, since some platforms (e.g. RISC) may realize these as separate instructions, while other
platforms (e.g. DSP chips) may realize these as a single instruction. In general, the document will
refrain from drawing conclusions, but rather just present complexity numbers for various
architecture and operating point configurations.
Jim Johnston, Microsoft, presented a list of CDs that he felt would be appropriate for expanding the
lossless coding data set. His proposal was that:
 Everyone purchase CDs and rip them using “eac” (exact audio copy – freeware) and
document rip using cksum.
 Process using ALS and SLS technology using various parameter settings.

Specifications updates
The list of modifications for existing specifications handled by SNHC is as follows.
Part 5/AMD7
Solid Modeling framework has been added.
Part 11/AMD4
Monolithic XMT-A schema reorganized in a modular manner.
All nodes from MPEG-4 Part 11 and Part 16 have been added, up to Part 11 AMD6 and Part
16/AMD1.
AFX node specific encoding hints and parameters added.
Part 16/COR1
Light-field mapping and Particle systems have been removed.
Part 16/AMD1
Finalized: Multitexturing framework, Point-based representation, Morphing
Part 21/WD 1.0
Just started: uses JSR-184 and JSR-239. MPEG-J is augmented to support these APIs and interface
with MPEG-4 Systems terminal.
Conformance and reference software
M: 10936 Simplification of AFX/SolidRep node Alain Mignot, Pierre Garneau
Proposal:
- Reduce the complexity of using the SolidRep by adding support of solid operations directly at the
scene graph node level; thus no need of using the script node.
- keep only the logic operators (3) from the 45 operators currently standardized.
- a new node proposed: SolidRepV2 which contains the solidOp field indicating the operation
attached to the node.
Resolution:
Create a CE on differences between script with SolidRepV1 and SolidRepV2 with the following
goals:
- What is the extra cost for using script node for solid?
- What are the limitations when not using the script but having the SolidRepV2?
Jeremie (SGDL) and Alain (SolidSpace) participate to the CE and edit the CE description.
M11134: Solid implementation into IM1, Jeremie Farret, Olivier Bellis
- renew involvement of SGDL in MPEG-4 normalization
- implementation of Solid representation in AFX reference software
- full support for script node (new java script library is available)
Resolution: validate the implementation and check that all the conformance bitstreams for all the
AFX tools are working (action done on Thursday morning in the SNHC plenary)
151
Naming problem: change symbols for operators in strings; advantages: light update of the java script
parser, solve ambiguities methods.
Resolution: update the DCOR with the operators names for the sake of the non-ambiguities.
M10880: Update of XMT-A for AFX, Gyeong Ja Jang, James Kim
Proposal:
- add DIBR encoding hints in bitwrapper;
- add DIBRDecoderInfo in AFXConfigType
- change the place of the AFXConfigType; put it in the object descriptor part
Resolution:
All the proposed modifications are accepted.
M10882: Updates on the reference software of AFX Encoder, Gyeong Ja Jang, James
Kim
Proposal:
- add support for multiple BitWrapper parser
- add support for octreeImage encoding
Resolution:
Upload the software in the CVS as part of MPEG-4 reference software. Add the description of the
tool and hints to be used and updated.
M10899: Updates on XMT-A specification for encoding parameter of PointTexture
Compression, Gyeong Ja Jang, Shinjun Lee, James Kim, Mahnjin Han
Proposal:
Add the element PointTextureEncodingParameter and the associated attribute in the BitWrapper
encoding parameters section.
Resolution:
Accepted
M10899: Proposal for the XMT-A specifications for MeshGrid, Alexandru Salomie,
Adrian Munteanu, Rudi Deklerck, Peter Schelkens
Proposal:
- Add the MeshGridEncodingParameters element in the BitWrapper encoding parameters section.
- Add the MeshGridDecodingSpecificIndo element in the AFX decoder specific section.
Resolution:
Accepted
M10899: Textual BBA, Marius Preda, Francoise Preteux
Proposal:
- Add the description of the BBA related elements in the XMT-A, including textual animation
parameters and encoding parameters
Resolution:
- Accepted
152
- Check the schema with Intellij
M10965 – On the status of 3DMC in MPEG-4
3DMC provides 30-40 times compression of IndexedFaceSet node. The major supporters were IBM
and Samsung. 3DMC reached IS status since 2001 but no commercial application exists so far. IBM
and Samsung said informally that they have no immediate plan to deploy this technology.
Technical issues
Coverage of 3D models
3DMC cannot support non-manifolds or non-orientable meshes without breaking the model into
multiple components.
Lossless/near lossless compression
High quality compression of 3D models for archiving and distribution is in high demands but this
may not have been well understood in the original design of 3DMC.
Lossless feature is available in AFX VM but promotion unclear.
Vertex order change
For non-rigid deformations of models, vertex order must be preserved. 3DMC does change vertex
order.
Possible solutions
1. 3DMC encoder could output the changed vertex order information so the compression of
interpolator etc. so 3DMC encoder would drive the encoding of the entire scene (BIFS, Scripts,
MPEG-J)
2. Transmit the changed order of vertex. This is n log n information, so an overhead increase
3. Use 3DMC only for rigid-body animation. Then vertex order doesn’t matter
4. Redesign 3DMC
Resolution
Gather industry interest before starting a new 3DMC. Contributions would be expected in further
meetings.
M10937 – Proposal for multi-resolution urban representation
We need progressive transmission and adaptive rendering during navigation.
For such adaptation, the scene is really a polygon soup of building blocks that are refined at
interactive frame rate.
With such contents, it is easy to navigate inside a city but much harder to have fly over views
because in a city many occlusions enables less polygons to be sent to the card while on fly over,
there are no such occlusions.
The scene is represented as a hierarchical representation of building blocks (i.e. real buildings). The
leaves (buildings) are rendered. The refinement applies at the footprint of the buildings, which are
contours represented as line segments (hence only position is needed). Messages are sent to the
server to refine these contours during navigation. To represent the building, extra information such
as height, textures are sent. As navigation progresses the root contours are split into multiple
contours.
153
The proposal doesn’t expose geometry information that could be helpful to combine with other 3D
models.
Resolution
Start a CE on this representation to understand how such contours could be used in a BIFS scene
M10994 – CE - Shadow: Preliminary Results on Reference Software Implementation,
Helge Drumm
Report:
- The work on implementation in the AFX reference software is not completed;
- Implementation in Iavas MPEG-4 player (in Java)
- Add in the AFX reference software some light related issues which were missing in the
implementation;
Proposal: Simplify the node interface in order to simplify the implementation.
Resolution:
Keep the CE open with the following goal:
- indicate which functionalities are not supported anymore by the simplified node;
- what is the cost of keeping the initial node? Only an implementation issue or some theoretical
aspects are also involved.

MPEG-4 Part 21
M11003 – Comments on MPEG-4 Part 21
HI Corp. strongly supports standardization of MPEG-4 Part 21 or Graphics API.
M3G has been found as the best starting point for Graphics API during 68th meeting and the AhG
meeting in Tokyo in May.
MPEG-4 Part 21 should not be too attached to one specification. HI has about 30M devices and
their experience is that each operator has strong control of the specification and they often prefer the
latest version of the API. So every year a new version provides new features. Therefore, locking into
one API is not a good idea.
HI Corp. proposed a simpler version of APIs that is not M3G but already publicly royalty-free
available.
Conformance and reference software
HI can provide a binary version of their optimized renderer.
Non-synthetic 3D rendering
In 3DAV, capture of 3D information from images is being worked on. In many apps, mixing
synthetic and non-synthetic objects is useful and therefore the APIs should be unified.
Fog and depth effects are needed, environment mapping
Proposal
HI suggests looking at old version of the API, which still has many apps being developed. The new
version of the API is M3G.
Mobile manufacturers have embraced M3G, which is now available on phones shipping this
summer.
Discussion
M3G is the right starting point for this activity but M3G being controlled by its own standard body
is an issue. MPEG/SNHC should establish liaison with M3G. However, M3G (JSR-184) is finished
and hence the group is closed, so no liaison or working relationship is possible.
Many participants expressed concerned about M3G future because of Nokia’s licensing. Likewise, it
is unclear if M3G will be updated in a near future even with basic features present in OpenGL ES
but apparently forgotten in M3G. Informal conversion with JSR-184 Chairman seems to indicate
extensions will happen but probably not this year.
In conclusion of this proposal, an M3G like graphics API is needed but not necessarily M3G itself
alone. Commonality of various APIs in the market must be studied.
155
M11111 – Considerations for MPEG-4 Part 21
This contribution details missing features in M3G and possible solutions. It also raises some issues
related to the integration of MPEG-4 systems with M3G.
The proposal simply intends to start the discussion on these issues.

M11022 – Symbolic Music Representation (SMR)
Needs to represent music notation:
 Lines, path, curves
 Color support
 Text support
 Selection of notes or groups of notes according to rules of symbolic music.
 Synchronization of audio-visual elements: playback + animation sync’d etc…
Conclusion
Using Part 21, SMR can be easily rendered. This path seems easier to use than describing the
complete framework in BIFS.
MPEG-4 Part 21 architecture
Supporting JSR-184 and JSR-239
During 68th meeting, we selected JSR-184 as the starting point of MPEG-4 Part 21. During the AhG
meeting in May, we found it was, technically-speaking a good choice even though some
technologies were missing and the licensing model didn't seem to please many participants.
In the last 10-15 years, many high-level APIs (e.g. with a scene graph) have been proposed but
almost none has survived more than 2 years in the market; developers and especially game
developers seem to agree only at low-level. In other words, developers like to design their own
scene graph, scene management and so on for their applications. JSR-184 (M3G) is one example of
a high-level API and, if history repeats, may not survive long.
On the other hand, OpenGL ES is finalized and is becoming available in software and in hardware
(chips) today. In the long run, OpenGL ES has better chance to survive as the long history of
OpenGL suggests (almost 20 years!).
Therefore, it is important to support both M3G and Java bindings to OpenGL ES. Such bindings are
not finalized yet but will be by the end of the year as part of JSR-239. Some participants believe that
M3G will be used for simple applications but complex games will use JSR-239. It is also worth to
mention that on desktops, a thin layer for OpenGL ES on top of OpenGL is already freely available,
making applications using OpenGL ES working from embedded devices to desktops.
Finally, almost all implementations of JSR-184 are implemented on top of OpenGL ES. For devices
with no OpenGL ES support (as there are already millions in Japanese market) JSR-184 can be
implemented on top of a proprietary rasterizer.
156
In conclusion, JSR-184 must be supported for applications using its high-level API. For general
applications, JSR-239 must be supported. The choice of using one or the other will be the
responsibility of the application developer. We will establish a liaison to JSR-239 so to access its
specification and provide them feedback on the interfacing requirements we need, if any. Figure 1
summarizes this discussion.

Figure 1 – Block diagram of MPEG terminal with graphics enabled MPEGlets.
What remains to be done is the interfacing with an MPEG-4 terminal i.e. the so-called MPEG-J
extensions. But first, we describe the architecture that enables all applications.
Architecture
After many discussions, Figure 2 summarizes the MPEG terminal architecture using MPEGlets.
Compare to MPEG-4 Systems (ISO/IEC 14496-1) architecture, Compositor and Renderer are
arranged in a different manner albeit their definitions are the same:
 A renderer is used to draw synthetic operations (2D/3D graphics) into an image (or pixels
buffer),
 A compositor is used to mix (or to compose) zero or more pixel buffers to create a final
image.
As specified in ISO/IEC 14496-11, an MPEGlet is received from an MPEG-4 stream and placed
into a decoding buffer (this is a Java class implementing MPEGlet interface alone or within a Java
archive (jar)). From the decoding buffer (DB), the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) starts the MPEGlet.
In MPEG-4 Part 11, an MPEGlet has no access to graphic resources and has been thought as an
application running in the background controlling the terminal. As such, it can access the BIFS
scene graph, modify it, and receive events from it. The BIFS compositor then renders its scene
graph and a final image is produced; this happens at every frame.
In MPEG-4 Part 21, we view an MPEGlet has a video decoder i.e. a component producing pixel
buffers. The MPEGlet can draw into a pixel buffer using JSR-184 or JSR-239. The MPEGlet can
also control the compositing process. In the simplest compositing case, the video buffer would be in
the background and the MPEGlet pixel buffer will be drawn on top; transparent areas would show
the video image underneath. The MPEGlet can also access composition buffers (i.e. pixel buffers)
of other video decoders and use them as textures mapped onto synthetic 2D/3D objects.

Figure 2 – MPEG terminal architecture with MPEGlets.
With this architecture in mind, the existing MPEG-J API defined in ISO/IEC 14496-11 can be
reused with possibly minor modifications and more importantly with extensions for renderer,
composition buffers, and compositing access. Since all media must be composed given time
constraints, MPEG-J must also be extended with timing and synchronization.
MPEG-J extensions
Timing and synchronization
In order to synchronize composition buffers with an MPEGlet, we need timing information from the
buffers.
Q: Do we need to query time or be event triggered?
A: Different scenarios are possible and it seems both features should be supported.
We need CTS, an abstraction to media position (in time and in sample). It is not clear if decoding
buffers (and hence DTS) is needed.
Composition buffer access
If we want to use pixels from a visual decoder, we need an abstraction to CBs.
Efficient rendering
Renderers need to be bound to a composition buffer for rendering. The compositor is the component
managing the buffers to produce the final image. Therefore, an MPEGlet should ask the Compositor
for one or more composition buffers, which in turn may provide a software or hardware accelerated
buffer that match the MPEGlet requirements and the available resources in the terminal.
We need an abstraction from MpegjTerminal to access the compositor.
We need a facility in the Compositor to create buffers with some configuration hints.
At each frame, an MPEGlet should be able to bind to a pixel buffer, draw whatever rendering
commands, release this pixel buffer. This mechanism is already possible with JSR-184, we must
ensure it is also the case with JSR-239.
MPEGlets initialization
The MPEGlet interface (ISO/IEC 14496-11) is simply a Runnable. In other words, an MPEGlet is a
task running in a thread. In order to initialize hardware accelerated pixel buffers, an application
must access native rendering peers.
In the last section, we described that through the MpegjTerminal, an MPEGlet can access the
Compositor and create hardware accelerated buffers since the Compositor makes the final image
and hence has access to native rendering peers.
158
User interaction
An application wouldn't be interactive without keyboard, mouse or other devices access. Java
provides such mechanisms for keyboard and mouse so there is no need to define anything if we
support J2ME, J2SE, J2EE, and whatever profiles of each Java edition.
Misc.
From this discussion, it seems some areas must be queried by an MPEGlet in order to discover what
a terminal supports. For example, one might want to know if the terminal supports JSR-184 and/or
JSR-239. Rendering and Compositing properties should be queried so that an MPEGlet can adapt its
processing. This remains to be discussed.
MPEG-4 Part 20 – LaSeR (overview)
LaSeR stands for Lightweight scene representation.
LaSeR is based on W3C Scalar Vector Graphics but is much smaller. It has features such as being
able to move from one scene to another and preserve the status of the scene.
Node features
 Laser shapes is just polygons (actually, 2D filled contours) and polylines. SVG path will be
added later.
 No picking at this moment but will be added during CE harmonizing Laser and SVG.
 AnimateXXX is like SVG without splines. AnimateActivate to animate ID of nodes like a
Switch with a sequence.
 Cursor is to emulate a stylus with keys on a phone.
 TextInput is an interface with character input in a phone.
 xxxKey nodes are configurations for other elements but may not remain for alignment with
SVG.
 No Inline (as with SVG Tiny)
 No script (conditional + action is enough)
File format and OD enhancements
The binary syntax is like BIFS but without context. So you can decode a command without memory
of previous scene.
Simple Aggregation Format (SAF)
 SAF is a way to package scene + audio + video to do cheap streaming over HTTP.
 Mapping to over transport mechanism is very easy with this format.
Cache mechanism: CacheObject
 Enables objects to remains in the cache of the phone for faster access.
End of stream signaling
 Missing in MPEG-4, used to reclaim memory and kill decoders
OD enhancements
 SimpleDecoderConfig = like DecoderConfig but simpler
 SimpleDecoderSpecificInfo = just the header of the stream
Notes
159
JSR-226 is aligned with SVG 1.1 and would be useful for a Java access to LaSeR scene.
Main targeted applications
portals, services (traffic, maps, weather…), database interrogation, stock quotes, decoration of video
clips (e.g buttons to start/stop clips), news service (BBC trying this LaSeR application now) etc…
Designed for mobiles applications.
Conclusion
MPEG-4 Part 20 (LaSeR) is a simplified version of SVG Tiny with a binary representation simpler
than BIFS. It is designed to be a sort of "Flash for mobiles" within a simplified MPEG-4 terminal
implementation. Therefore, LaSeR is simplified 2D version of BIFS designed for mobiles
harmonized with SVG.

Detailed Report
Reference hardware description for MPEG-4
The ISG activity at the Redmond meeting has mainly been devoted to the review of the contribution
and to the preparation of guideline documents:
 the review of the contributions presenting new HDL module submissions
 the review of contributions on the proposed improvements to the API specification and
implementation improvements of the “Virtual Socket”,
172




the planning of the releases of the integrated framework based on the Wildcard II supporting
the virtual socket,
on the drafting of new guidelines for module and documentation submissions,
on the specification of the advanced version of the demonstration,
on the update of MPEG-4 Part 2 and Part 10 module submission status.
The high number of HDL number received and the several new commitments made necessary
several action points to coordinate the work and to uniform the documentation that will be included
in the technical report.
The first was to update the call for submissions so as to include and make available for current and
new submitters all the information and developments made so far (output document N6506). The
new call updates the status of the submissions the goals of each phase and provides references to
documents providing detailed information on the integrated framework that support the virtual
socket API, on the format for the documentation to be submitted together with the module HDL
code and to the instruction on how to access the CVS server for HDL code submission and
maintenance. With this purpose two output documents have been prepared, one provides the CVS
access conditions and instructions (output document N6508), the other is a template for the
preparation of the documentation of each HDL module (output document N6507).
The table of module submission commitment has been updated and reported in an specific output
document (question marks indicate that the commitment is uncertain concerning the delivery date or
that the module has not been selected for a submission commitment) (output document N6509) .
The ad-hoc group on the development of MPEG-4 Part 9 has been re-established with updated
mandates, including a specific mandate for the specification and development of the demonstration
platform. The ad-hoc schedule includes 4 telephone conferences before next meeting. Phone
conferences are planned on the 19th August, 9th September, 30th September, 14th October at 3 p.m.
GMT. Tel: (from US 1-877-582-3182, from outside US 1-706-679-1128, participant code
9202060193).
Contribution to the definition of a video tools repository.
Two joint meeting with the video group have been held to discuss the issue related to the
development of a video tool repository. The implementation study group has contributed to put in
evidence all formalism aspects that are essential for an efficient usage of the library so as to be able
to define new module interconnections, new control signals and new modules. Such formalism
definition should be further developed so as to be able to define new ways of using the standard
blocks and define “new standards”.
The promotion to FDAM of the MPEG-7 reference software extensions.
The MPEG-7 reference software extension has been approved to FDAM answering to the US
national body comments requiring for a correct abstract summaries for the audio descriptors. The
document will be ready for ballot one week after the end of the meeting.

Report of Liaisons meeting
Source:
Jan Bormans
The Liaison Group received three requests to establish a class C relationship, all of which were
granted after consideration at the Redmond meeting:
The Digital Media Project (DMP) is a non-for-profit organisation registered in Geneva in December
2003 with the mission to “promote continuing successful development, deployment and use of
Digital Media that respect the rights of creators and rights holders to exploit their works, the wish of
end users to fully enjoy the benefits of Digital Media and the interests of various value-chain players
to provide products and services, according to the principles laid down in the Digital Media
Manifesto”.
DMP has assessed the urgent need for Technical Specifications of devices that possess a subset of
features of fully-fledged Interoperable End-user Devices, the ability to deal with governed content in
an interoperable way being the most important. DMP has called such devices “Portable Audio and
Video Devices” (PAV) and decided that it will develop the relevant Technical Specifications on a
fast track, namely by April 2005. These DMP activities are complementary to WG 11’s work,
especially within the field of MPEG-21.
The Digital Cinema Specification Development Committee (DCSDC) as Broadband Networks are
now widely spreading throughout the world and high quality video distribution is getting easier and
easier, new content business concepts based on the mental sense or culture base are considered
becoming key to industry. Considering these trends - and in order to raise-up Japanese cinema
industry to the international level on its quality and quantity - the Japanese National Project named
Digital Cinema Common Specification Development Project (DCCSDP) has been started on July
1st 2004. To conduct DCCSDP, Digital Cinema Common Specification Development Committee
(DCCSDC) was established. Object of this DCCSDP is to create the cinema technology up to and
above the film based cinema industry which is mainly conducted by Hollywood, and furthermore,
create value chain based on current digital technology and keep technology level consistency from
scenario creation to cinema presentation and then, to standardize these established concepts and
technologies.
This new liaison relationship will enable efficient information exchange and collaboration in the
field of normative technology for Digital Cinema Contents. DCCSP will consequently have access
to MPEG technology and will provide feedback on its usability for DCCSP’s application domain.
Immediate topics of interaction are foreseen to include MPEG-4 AVC, MPEG-7 and MPEG-21
REL and RDD.
The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) was formed in June 2002 by nearly 200 companies representing
the world's leading mobile operators, device & network suppliers, information technology
companies and content providers. The Open Mobile Alliance is designed to be the centre of mobile
service enabler specification work, helping the creation of interoperable services across countries,
operators and mobile terminals that will meet the needs of the user
(http://www.openmobilealliance.org).
175
The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) expresses it desire to explore these activities jointly. OMA
proposes the exchange of technical working documents and specifications via designated liaison
representatives of each organization.
