Explorations, General
Multimedia Application Formats
10493 AHG on Multimedia Application Format (MAF) - Wo Chang, Olivier Avaro
10536 Multimedia Application Format (MAF) Overview Document - Wo Chang
The Overview of the Multimedia Application Formats was updated; it now contains a set of
requirements for these Formats and no longer highly detailed technical descriptions. A request
for a new Project was issued. MAF’s will form a new set of MPEG Standards.
3DAV
Requirements met jointly with the Video Group to discuss 3DAV. The response to the Call
for Comments resulted in two activities. On Multiview Coding, a Call for Evidence is being
readied. It was issued in draft form at this meeting. On Omni-directional AV, a Draft
Requirements Document was produced that summarizes the requirements for the work on a
Multimedia Application Format for this application. Requirements for Audio still need to be
added.
M3W
10530 MPEG Multimedia Middleware: Context and Objective (Update) - Jean Gelissen.
M3W was discussed in joint meetings with Systems. A new Context and Objectives
Document was released, and a start of a Requirements Document for M3W was published as
well.
Intra-only in MPEG
10488 AHG on Intra-only Coding in MPEG - Kohtaro Asai
The intra-only work, while progress is being made, has not yet been able to expand its support
basis. In joint meeting with Video, it was agreed to continue the effort in the context of the
video tool repository, which would start with collecting all intra coding tools from across the
MPEG standards. The option of an intra-only Profile across all MPEG standards was
discussed, and considered of interest. The continued need for getting more active participants
in this activity was also noted.
46
Spatial Audio Coding
A Call for Proposals for spatial audio coding was discussed in joint meetings with the Audio
Group. The Requirements Group approved the requirements in the call and the call was
subsequently published.
Music Notation
Also in a joint meeting with the Audio Group, the Draft Call for Proposals for Symbolic
Music Notation was discussed and refined. The plan is to issue this call at the next meeting.
MPEG-4 (and a bit of MPEG-2)
Systems (Part 1)
10653 Profiling Consideration for MPEG-4 IPMP - Mayumi Koike et.al.
10734 Profiling Consideration for MPEG-2/4 IPMP - Ji Ming
In a joint meeting with the Systems Group, the request to add Profiles to IPMP-X was
discussed. The proposal is for both the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 standards, and the Profile
would be identical for both. A Simple (or “lightweight”) Profile would be useful for mobile
devices and a Core Profile would be suited for Set Top Box-like devices. The proposals were
added to the Profiles under Consideration Document, with the aim to expose them to other
potentially interested parties and to allow these parties to express their interest at the next
meeting. The meaning of ‘support’ was clarified in the opening sections of the Profiles under
Consideration document. The meeting discussed how to move this forward rapidly. If enough
support is expressed at the next meeting, the required Amendments could go straight to CD.
It is now up to the proponents to gather such support.
AVC (part 10)
In a joint meeting with the Joint Video, Profiles for the AVC Fidelity Extensions were
discussed. In the Study of the Amendment, the following profiles are mentioned:
 4:2:2/8-bit
 4:2:0/10-bit
 4:2:2/10-bit
 4:4:4/12-bit
The Requirements Group expressed some concern that this may be a bit much for the
extension, but agreed to adding this proposal to the Study at this point. The possibility of a 14
bit Profile is submitted to NB’s for their consideration.
Systems- and SNHC-related Profiles (Notably part 11)
10696 Proposal of new requirements for streaming geo-visual contents - Jérôme Royan, et.al.
In a joint meeting with SNHC and Systems, the requirements for MPEG standardization
stemming from the streaming of geo-visual contents were discussed. It was concluded that
MPEG is not the right place to standardize geo-spatial coordinate systems, but that application
developers can combine existing standards for geo-spatial coordinate systems with MPEG
tools. The standardization of a 3D representation suitable for representing buildings in this
application can be considered in MPEG. SNHC will, for the moment, further discuss the
issue.
47
10733 X3D Interactive profile, bitstream exchange update - Bourges-Sevenier, Walsh
The Requirements Group was happy to learn that the bitstream requirements for this profile
have been met, and recommended its adoption in AMD1 to part 16 of MPEG-4 (AFX
Extensions), at the next meeting and depending on NB requests for doing so.
Scene Representation API
10647 HI Corp., Waseda Univ. and Packet Video’s Response to CfP (N 6095) –Kaneko et.al.
The response of the response to the Call for Proposals was discussed in a joint meeting with
SNHC and Systems. The conclusion was that existing standards (JSR184), to a large extent,
may pose a solution, and that MPEG work should build on them. The SNHC group further
discussed the matter.

10689 Evaluation Software Requirements for LASER - Olivier Avaro, Jean-Claude Dufourd
In a joint meeting with the Systems Group, the LASeR Requirements and CfP were edited and
approved. Please see the Systems report for further details.
Scene Description (part 11)
10704 Proposal for Compressed 3D Profile - Patrick Gioia
Small updates to the Compressed 3D Profile were proposed and accepted into the Profiles
under Consideration Document.
MPEG-7
Profiles and Levels (part 9)
10559 USNB Contribution: MPEG-7 profiles - A. G. Tescher for USNB
10492 AHG on MPEG-7 Interoperability and Profiling - Wo Chang, Masanori Sano
10648 Preliminary FCD on MPEG-7 Profile - Wo Chang
All of the suggestions on MPEG-7 Profiles by National Bodies were reviewed and accepted.
Due to partial availability of the editor during the meeting, editing could not be finalized and a
one-month editing period was agreed.
In the discussion, the following conclusions were reached:
 The USNB suggested that use of BiM and size of access units would be Level issues,
but the meeting concluded that they might well be better placed in a Systems Profile
dimension. This dimension would be orthogonal to the Description Profiles dimension.
 WG11 should keep the notion of Description Profile because it is likely there will also
be (a) Systems Profile(s)
 MPEG will adopt, as a guiding principle, that a Profile should use the same Schema
for all its Levels. It is not completely ruled out that there may be exceptions, but they
will be discussed on an individual basis and only made in exceptional circumstances
48


resulting in minor changes to the schema. This means that in principle, all the Levels
shall conform to the Profile Schema.
Every Profile has its own Level definitions. Nothing in the Levels of one Profile will
necessarily mean something for another Profile (although they may be harmonized)
On the definition of Levels, the following was noted:
o Cardinality, which seems a Level issue but could change the Schema, doesn’t
really provide control over the size of the description. “Size of Description”
could be a valid Level variable, however.
o Related to the previous point, some Level variables may not be able to be
validated using the Schema itself, such as the size or the depth of the
description. Still, these could be relevant Level variables, and they can be
easily checked for conformance.
o It should be possible to change the range of attributes in a Level definition.
MPEG-21
General
Profiles
10491 AHG on Profiles and Extensions for the MPEG-21 REL - Gandee, Chris Barlas
The assumption in the profiling work was the timely availability of relevant OMA specs. As
these weren’t available, no simple Profile could be defined based on them. It was decided that
there be no continuation of this AHG for now, until more information is available or other

Touimi
The Requirements group hosted two sessions on the role of MPEG-21 in Broadcasting. It was
concluded that the current activity lacked a clear problem definition and a coherent view on
the role that MPEG-21 could play in broadcasting, possibly because the participation of direct
stakeholders appeared minimal. The Requirements Group appreciated the efforts of the people
that participated in the activity, but decided that the activity be closed for the time being, but
the Group is open to new contributions. Any new or continued activity in the realm of MPEG21 in broadcasting will be reviewed in the light of submissions received at the next meeting.
There must be a clear vision for a role of MPEG-21 in broadcast applications, a coherent view
of the contribution of MPEG, and a well-defined statement of what MPEG needs to
standardize. In addition, there must be people with knowledge of and interest in the broadcast
world to carry out the work.

The comments to the PDTR were taken into account in producing the DTR. While not all
comments could be implemented as suggested, all National Bodies were happy with the result
and those that had voted ‘No’ changed their votes ‘Yes’.
Digital Item Declaration (Part 2)
10561 USNB Contribution: MPEG-21 Media Locators - A. G. Tescher for USNB
The conclusion of a joint meeting with MDS on this issue was that a Core Experiment would
need to be drafted to come to a decision in this matter. The Core Experiment was further
defined in the MDS Group.

10489 AHG to complete requirements for MPEG-21 IPMP - Watt, Van den Heuvel, Schultz
Extensive editing resulted in a much-improved specification of the requirements for IPMP. To
reduce travel for delegates, it was decided to not have a separate evaluation meeting in June,
but rather do a 3-day pre-meeting before the 69th meeting. This also led to extending the
deadline of submission to 25 June. The Requirements Group regrets losing Bas van den
Heuvel as a very active participant and co-chair of Ad-Hoc Groups and Break-out Groups.
DIA (part 7)
10560 USNB Contribution: Demographic Information - A. G. Tescher for USNB
The Requirements Group notes that the request is in line with similar requests from other
NB’s at previous meetings, and that earlier concerns seem to have given way to recognizing
the use of supporting this information. WG11 will allow such attributes to be adopted in the
MPEG-21 DIA Standard.
Persistent Association (part 11)
10549 Summary of Voting on ISO/IEC PDTR 21000-11 - SC 29 Secretariat
The comments to the PDTR were taken into account in producing the DTR. While the
Requirements Group would be happy to address Video in the DTR, there have simply not
been enough contributions to implement the suggestion. WG11 is ready to create a second
version of the PDTR, if enough video experts commit to seeing it through. All National
Bodies were happy with the result and those that had voted ‘No’ changed their votes ‘Yes’.

M10554, M10692: Handling Audio Pre-roll in MPEG-4. Information on HE-AAC decoder
delay and timestamps. Continue documentation of the understanding of these complex issues.
No action requested by Systems prior Audio has addressed the issue at the codec level.
M10547, M10555, M10612: All comments were addressed. See DoC and specification.
Detailed discussions are documented below.
On the technology under consideration, we agree to simplify it to a flat structure, no mention
of coding systems (e.g. SMIL etc.) and then consider the residual as to whether it should be
included; no conclusion was reached on this question. The residual technology is:
a)
b)
c)
d)
the progressive download information
chunking (extents) of resources
start-location OR the in-line meta-data
ability to attach name, type, encoding, and protection info to resources.
The editors are instructed to insert an annex into the amendment documenting the RA, if
approval of the RA is achieved in a suitable time-frame. In systems plenary we learned that
the secretariat can insert the contact information into the annex once the RA is approved (even
after document approval).
On the technology under consideration, the plenary instructed the editors to integrate the
technologies directly relevant to the immediate use cases: MPEG-7 and MPEG-21, and make
no mention of SMIL. Those technologies are the initial resource location, progressive
download information, chunking (dividing into extents) of resources, and providing a name,
type, encoding, and protection information for resources.
On the 3GPP2 RA question, the RA is directed to note on the RA/sample-entry table that the
appropriate specs must be consulted for when each may be used for any given codec. The RA
is also instructed to go back and allocate OTI for all codecs used in the family that have a
sample-entry code.
On the constraint_flag, more detail was received into the plenary from the absent author, and
it will be retained with more explanation into the next text.
The editors are instructed to produce sufficient text for the JPEG meeting in Madrid, to enable
balloting immediately after. Balloting will close after Seattle, however, NB comment is
earnestly desired before the meeting.

MPEG-21 File Format (21000-9)
21000-9
Topics
1.
MPEG-21 File Format
Contributions
The following points were discussed and approved :
 Make the moov atom optional, i.e. derive the M21 file format from techs in the ISO base,
but not require all that it requires.
58


Have both binary and textual handler types: m21b, m21t.
The chunking/interleave may be appropriate for binarized/interleaved digital items.
The CD text should have some worked examples, with diagrams etc. Simple case, more
complex cases and so on, including URL forms. We need comment on whether the protection
structures proposed for the amendment are needed or appropriate in the MPEG-21 use case.
M10645: We agree that it is necessary that we get the right indirections in place to enable the
right flexibility. But the proposal as presented suggests re-writing the DID as it is packaged,
and we desire that we do not have to do that in the general case, so that for example signing
etc. remain valid. It seems that the file-entry structures serve a similar function, but allow the
DID to be packaged without re-writing. There may be value in having fragment identifiers
outside the DID etc. but it’s not entirely clear whether the fragment identifier should or should
not remain within the XML; we really need to see why it is an advantage to move the
fragment identifier out of the XML into the resource directory. It may allow some editing of
the external resource (editing that required the fragment identifier to change) without
changing the DID (e.g. when a scene of a movie was referred to, and the resource re-packaged
so that the scene is substituted for the entire movie, obviating the need for a fragment, but
there was no consensus that this was even desirable). This contribution will be documented as
a technology under consideration in the next document, requesting comment,
MPEG-21 Binary Format (21000-16)

Topics
1.
Binarization of MPEG-21 Data
Contributions
M10718 - BinaryXML - A Comparison of Existing XML Compression Techniques
The contribution shows figure on DIA compression and compared several compression
techniques on qualitative and quantitative measures. It appears that BiM has unique features
(progressive transmission & direct data access). The contribution recommends to adapt BiM
in order to improve compression of large, highly repetitive documents. Proposal of backward
compatible extensions of BiM with specific codecs.
M10644 - Binarisation of MPEG-21 DIDs
The contribution shows figure on DID compression and compared several compression
techniques. BiM is leading followed by XMill. Proposal to improve efficiency for MPEG-21
specifics. Progressive transmission is required for large DID. However several items should
be addressed by BiM to fully satisfy DID compression requirements. The encoding of any
wildcard (with no schema & according to external attributes “mimeType”) should be
improved and the issue of properly dividing DID should be addressed (is signalling of DID
validity required?).
59
M10646 - MMG-Waseda proposal on Issues in binary coding(binarization) of MPEG-21
DID
The contribution presents MPEG-21 use cases in highly constrained environment (targeting
mobile environment). The contribution presents the notion of domain dependent coding which
could have the following positive impact on DID decoding: Easy mapping of DID to
relational database, More compressed DID & Small footprint decoder. While the benefits are
clear, technical more work has to be done. Proposed to perform Core Experiment on MPEG21 binarization.
Decision:
There is now a critical mass of people interested in MPEG-21 binarization enabling MPEG to
start a work item on the topic. This will lead to the production of:
 A new part of MPEG-21 describing how BiM is used in the MPEG-21 specific context.
This will be part 16 of MPEG-21;
 Possible amendments of MPEG-7 Systems to accommodate MPEG-21 specifics.
BiM will be used as a starting point.
Next Steps:
 Issue Working Draft 1.0 of ISO/IEC 21000-16.
 Define and execute core experiment to further evaluate the need of BiM extensions to
cover MPEG-21 requirements.

Review list of open issues
Relation with MPEG-21: MPEG-21 is structure (not metadata). MPEG-21 File Format will
build on top of the ISO Base File Format. What is done in MAF can then be re-used within
the context of the MPEG-21 File Format.
Issue on file format overhead: Overhead of the file format could be an issue for small sized
media + metadata (ex:images thumbnail). Image does not need a movie atom which represents
a large part of the overhead. So this should not be an issue.

Results:
 Received responses to call (from 67th meeting)
 Believe have a good basis for “global” architecture that can produce a
structure for ER (XML fields)
 ER represented as DIs (can inherit properties)
 Basis architecture – syntax description of some elements
 How to generate event report requests (ER requests)?
 Event analyzer
 Generate event report (XML data structure)? How to describe event,
need very precise semantics of events
Questions:
 Do we have complete starting point
 Will new semantics need to be defined for RDD? Can possibly be
based on initial set of verbs in RDD?
Actions:
 Plan for week to produce WD 1.0
 Define architecture
 Identify where further expertise is needed
 ER requirements related to other parts should go to Requirements

Results:
 Data structure for event reporting requests and messages
represented as Digital Items (req. 2.2.17)
 Initially proposed at 66th meeting
 ERR (request)  peer  ER
o What (eg., id)
o Condition (eg., play has occurred)
o ToWhom (recipient)
o Delivery output
o Descriptor
 ER Message
o ER description data
o Requested action
o Source
o Descriptor
Questions:
 How to represent that address of recipient?
 Do protocols/messaging/communications need to be standardized
here?
 Either protocols should not be part of this or should be defined at
different level of standard
Recommendations:
 Starting point for formation of ER messages

BinaryXML – A Comparison of

Compression
Techniques
Results:
 Experiments of compressing gBSD using a variety of compression
techniques. (gBSD describes the high-level structure of a resource –
layers, headers, etc.)
 Encoders that take advantage of redundancy perform better on larger
size input
 BiM performs best on small source data
 BiM also seems to have best functionality in compressed domain, eg.,
binary access, streaming
Questions:
 May be a special case of source data for MPEG-21, which is bitstream
syntax description – this experiment is specific to BSDs
Actions:
 Next step use to use version 2 of BiM codec
 Try on larger set of source data and other parts of MPEG-21
 Proponents interest continue experiments

Binarisation of MPEG-21 DIDs
76
Results:
 Consider standard set of codec when embedded data or XML with no
schema, eg., base64 codec, or string codec
 Progressive DIDs – streaming of fragments of DID
 How to fragment DID – transmission order?
 How to keep DID valid?
 Could use signaling to indicate when DID becomes valid in case of
progressive delivery
Questions:
 Is there anything special about MPEG-21 (DID and BSD) that requires
changes to BiM?
Actions:
 MPEG-7 systems should be investigated to see whether it completely
addresses requirements for DID fragmentation and progressive
delivery
 Make output document – new part of MPEG-21, possible amendment of
MPEG-7 systems

78
Results:
 Report on some requirements for conversions in live radio broadcasting
Questions:
 Use as response to call for conversion operators?
Actions:
 Example conversions from audio domain have been provided
 Use these examples (audio, JC) to validate the DIA conversions
framework
 Also use these as example representations or classification schemes
for the framework
 Some difficulties have been recognized for validating the framework
given that conversion composite is not adequate for expressing
arbitrary assembly of conversion operators?
 Response to call was not adequate to understand the wide range of
conversions and requirements for expressing them
 Create a new call – ask for more information; create template
 Target specific industries – broadcasters, (check list of MPEG
liaisons), DANAE, Melisa
 Gather the set of conversions already under investigation internally in
MPEG, and use them to validate the DIA conversions framework –
these conversions should be implemented and the descriptors should
be generic by abstracting out the essential parts (eg., minimal set of
required parameters)
Next steps:
 Agree to standardize conversion description framework as normative
 Agree to develop set of conversions / conversion parameters
conforming to framework and incorporate as informative examples but
later consider adopting common elements as normative
 Agree to validate the conversion description framework using
conversions and conversion parameters that are from genuine use
cases and industry practices
 Validation includes working out relationship with RDD
 Agree to produce examples of expressing conversion descriptions and
mapping/specialization in RDD

Media Locators
Results:
 Response to USNB: WG11 thanks USNB for contribution on MPEG-21
Media Locators. WG11 has established a core experiment on media
locators that will evaluate candidate technologies for MPEG-21 addressing
schemes, including solutions based on MPEG-7 Media Locators. The
results of this core experiment will be reported in the 69th meeting.

10747 Adam Lindsay
MAF
Results:
 Proposal to address locating of logical units using existing MPEG-7
tools – SemanticStateDS, since it provides name-value pairs
 Provides also a classification scheme for logical unit types
Questions:
 Don’t we also need classification scheme that is specific to media
rather than something generic
 Generic classification scheme is comparable with DID

Corrigendum
MPEG-4 Visual Third Edition (14496-2:2004) has been proofread by editors and is now in
publication process. COR1 of this edition (N6362+ N6361 DoC) has been finalized in the 68th
meeting. By request of NBs in the DCOR ballot, the final text is based on the Study of DCOR
(N6163 of 67th meeting), as well as additional comments received by US and Japan NBs.

New Versions of MPEG-4 Visual List of Problems Reported
Version 12 of the document "MPEG-4 Visual List of Problems Reported" (N6363) was issued.
This contains some minor issues related to text part (14496-2:2004) which in general are of low
priority, to be resolved in a later corrigendum. The LPR contains a detailed report on software
bug fixing. All known bugs from the MS part of the software are fixed at this time, and the new
package is in the process of being published within Amendment 5 of 14496-5:2001. Some
problems with the Momusys package remain, but are planned to become fixed in the near future.
All problem reports related to Conformance streams have been removed from the document and
were considered in the Working Draft of a Conformance Corrigendum (see 1.3).

Conformance Corrigendum WD
Fixing of Conformance streams being listed as erroneous in the previous List of Problems
Reported is at a very early stage. The Video Subgroup presently has not sufficient resources to
maintain the conformance streams; more input and expertise is required by the previous
contributors of these streams. A first effort in this direction was made by three companies who
provided input documents related to fixed conformance streams, and propose to produce a
Corrigendum. As only a small percentage of streams that are known to be erroneous were
provide, the video subgroup decided to produce a WD for this corrigendum (N6364), which will
be updated in the following meetings when more streams will be made available. This
corrigendum also includes a number of typo correction, where the names of existing (correct)
streams deviate from the names by which they are described in 14496-4. The procedure of this
corrigendum is presently planned is as follows:
–
–
A request is made to NIST to provide a CVS repository for all Visual conformance streams,
and all bitstreams which are becoming corrected will be collected at this site;
The DCOR will be issued October 2004;
103
–
–
All bitstreams that are not received until then will be removed from conformance part (144964);
This implies a follow-up action where the related profiles and levels could be removed from
the standard (14496-2).

In Munich, a JVT meeting took place in parallel with the Video Subgroup. Main topics in MPEG4 part 10 (AVC) were related to the professional extensions amendment (Study text of FPDAM
in N6360) and the finalization of Corrigendum 1 (N6358 with DoC N6357). To simplify the
processing of documents and readability of standards, the Corrigendum will not be published, but
integrated right away into a new edition of 14496-10 (N6359). The video subgroup recommended
approval of all the related documents by MPEG.

New interesting applications of MPEG-7 were reported in M10567. It describes retrieval of car
components based on 3D shape descriptors. Full demo will be shown during the forthcoming
MPEG meeting.
M10566 describes strategy on combination and joint use of MPEG-7 descriptors.
A request for New Visual Extensions (Amd.2 of 15938-3) was made (N6366). A WD was
produced (N6367). This presently includes the new 3D shape descriptor which previously was
adopted for XM. In addition to other low-level descriptor elements as required e.g. for photo
libraries, Amd.2 will most probably contain higher-level (e.g. semantics of scenes) Visual
description tools. Optionally, a Call for such technology could be issued in the future. A new
Version (20.0) of MPEG-7 Visual XM was edited (N6368).
105
The text of DAM1 for 15938-8 (Extraction and Usage of MPEG-7 Visual Descriptors
Extensions, N6371+N6370 DoC) was issued. The Study of PDAM (N6191 of Waikoloa) was
adopted by NB request.
Core Experiments will be continued for further testing of new Visual extensions (N6369).
Joint meeting on Multimedia Application Formats was held with Requirements, Systems, Audio
and MDS. Systems group responded positively to video request to modify the ISO file-format in
order to support non-timed metadata with small overhead.

Scalable Video Coding
Following the CfP on Scalable Video Coding, a total number of 14 full proposals (complete
algorithms submitted for subjective testing) and additional 7 tools proposals have officially been
received by the deadline. In addition, 5 technical contributions had been submitted as regular
MPEG input documents, which mostly described standalone tools (10524, 10535), additional
tools for algorithms submitted (10706, 10712) or concepts for complete algorithms with
preliminary results (M10723). A thorough technical analysis was done on all the submissions.
The most important properties of the algorithm submissions can be highlighted as follows:
S01 (Polytech Milano&TILAB)
In-band method with MCTF (overcomplete DWT), MC based on 16x16 blocks, same vector for
all wavelet bands. ME is performed within subbands, where e.g. horizontal displacement
estimator uses HL, vertical displacement estimator uses LH etc., full search of LL band first to
avoid local minima. Hierarchical MC by spatial subdivision and subband subdivision. Scalable
coding of motion vectors is also implemented (tree based method related to the different
subdivision splittings)
S03 (HHI)
AVC with MCTF (open loop), deblocking filter only at decoder side (deblocking at analysis
affected performance), multi-reference pictures, direct mode slightly modified; residual prediction
coding using multiple transforms at encoder (could be avoided). SNR scalability levels are at
QP+6 points (half/double quantizer step sizes). Spatial scalability by classical difference pyramid
approach, using the AVC interpolation filter. Performance of non-scalable MCTF (with
optimization for a certain rate point) usually better than AVC. Prediction of low temporal
subbands is used.
S05 (Microsoft I: subband)
106
"Barbell lifting", 5/3 filters without specific block structure, barbell function can be integer,
interpolation, OBMC …, "energy distributed update" for best reconstruction by inverse motion,
different prediction modes, adaptive block size similar to AVC. Multiple motion layers for
scalable motion representation. Uses 3D EBCOT, RD optimized bit allocation. SNR scalability
by bitplane coding.
S06 (Microsoft II: PFGS)
AVC as base layer, options are enhancement prediction modes from base layer only, from
enhancement layer only or average of both. Enhancement layer prediction can potentially
introduce drift. Joint ME for base and enhancement layers, use ABT and CABAC. TS can use
either base or enhancement as reference (no drift). SS also uses enhancement-layer prediction.
Uses an older version of AVC. At low rates same performance as AVC, deteriorates towards
higher rates. Low coding delay.
S07 (NCTU I: RFGS)
Base layer is AVC compatible, enhancement layer scalable, wavelet transform of residual is used
for spatial scalability. Leak and bitplane selection are used for minimization of drift problem. An
additional low-rate AVC stream is simulcasted to correct the drift at each 4th frame, this also
saves motion vector rate. Both streams are decoded and results added (i.e. 2 AVC decoders are
needed). Low coding delay. Useful tools are (also in context of wavelet coding) the intra coding
with boundary mirror and the CABAC bitplane coding.
S08 (NCTU II: Wavelet)
Based on MCTF with Haar filters, but uses the interframe prediction of AVC and CABAC
encoding of motion vectors and modes; signaling of connected/unconnected blocks additionally,
not only derived from the MVF. Scalable motion representation 1 pel, ½ pel, ¼ pel, and
simultaneously refinement of block sizes 16, 8, 4.
S09 (NEC)
Uses conventional low-pass filter for downsampling, MCTF/EZBC separately at each layer, but
skip the spatial lowpass information at the higher spatial resolution; drift compensation applied in
the reconstruction of this lowpass signal for higher resolutions from lower resolutions. Finer
quantization of low-resolution signal is needed for the higher resolution reconstructions.
Estimation and encoding of motion vectors separately for all three layers.
S11 (ITRI)
Based on MC-EZBC, uses AVC-like intra prediction in the encoding of lowest temporal/spatial
subband; saves in average 12% of rate for this part of information. Total bit rate saving is not too
high.
S13 (Poznan)
Classical spatial scalability with interpolation-based prediction from lower layers, independent
motion estimation in the layers, encoding of motion vectors in enhancement layer can use baselayer motion vectors. Edge-adaptive interpolation is used. Uses AVC syntax, but in some cases
modified semantics for the enhancement layer coders. FGS is introduced by macroblock skipping.
This introduces drift, but this is bounded by cyclic introduction of frames which are only
predicted from base layer.
S15 (RPI)
MCTF with color-based ME, directional prediction for I-Blocks, OBMC, P-Block and reverse in
addition to connected mode. Scalable motion vectors with motion vector encoding done by
CABAC (investigation of contexts). Scalability in accuracy (up to 1/8 pixel)
S16 (RWTH Aachen)
MCTF with optional 1 level of spatial subband in advance. 5/3 filters with adaptation, quantizers
are also adapted according to the switching. RD optimized motion estimation. Motion
representation like HVSBM starting from 64x64, encoding by median prediction and CABAC.
Proposal does not provide multiple adaptations, is a kind of "scalable simulcast", where the
different spatial resolutions are simulcasted.
S17 (Samsung)
107
STAR is MCTF with only prediction step, multiple reference frames, allows low delay mode as
no update step is used. Closed-loop approach to reduce encoder/decoder mismatch. Low-band
correction, which allows to use scalable motion information. Scheme is capable for low delay
with loss of less than 1 dB.
S18 (Thomson)
MCTF using 2 filter types (pixel level, block level), different modes (forward, backward,
bidirectional, intra), motion accuracy scalable (up to 1/8 pel for higher rates), slightly higher cost
at high rates, but saving approx. 25% at low (QCIF resolution) rates. Coder based on JPEG2000.
Switching between different temporal filters (Haar,5/3,truncated 5/3). Cluster proposals around
requirements, as delay, multiple adaptations,
Proposals for CE: Mode switching, delay, ER, scalable motion, scalable entropy coding
S20 (Visiowave)
Spatial transform before temporal transform, integer implementation (5/3 spatial wavelet). Uses
an UMCTF-like scheme (4 temporal dyadic scalability levels) without update. Uses different
GOP sizes for different spatial resolution levels. Motion field is spatially scalable. Could be used
in closed loop, compatibility with JPEG2000 "keyframes". Low-delay configuration, no update
step.
A first clustering of the full algorithm proposals was then made into the following categories:
 A: AVC based proposals (S03 including AVC+MCTF): S03, S06, S13
 B: "t+2d": MCTF  2D Wavelet: S05, S08, S11, S15, S17, S18
 C: "2D+t": 2D Wavelet  MCTF: S01, S09, S20
 D: Scalable Simulcast (of different spatial resolutions): S07, S16
It must be noted however, that the boundaries of these categories cannot be drawn sharply, i.e.
some proposals might even fit into different categories. The possibility of performing multiple
adaptations of scalable streams (high-to-medium-to-low rates) was considered important to judge
the results, such that the simulcast solutions were not fully taken into consideration, Exact
weighting in trade-off with other specific requirements (e.g. low delay) was considered very
difficult, as it requires a more detailed analysis of different operating modes, which can only be
done in Core Experiments. Furthermore, it was emphasized that more background is necessary on
detailed requirements of application cases to judge the pros and cons of different approaches on a
more profound basis.
Formal subjective tests had been performed around two different test scenarios:
 Test 1: 3 layers of spatial resolution, wider range of bit rate scalability;
 Test 2: 2 layers of spatial resolution, less wide range of bit rate scalability.
Not all proposals had participated in both test scenarios, and this was not mandatory from the CfP
conditions. The analysis of test results, which was performed jointly with the Test subgroup, can
be summarized as follows:
 For both test scenarios, scalable coders exist which are close in decoded quality to the singlelayer anchors. The best proposals are within a range of <0.5 MOS deviation from the anchors
in average. It should be noted that some scalable approaches performed superior to the single
layer anchor at some rate points.
 Depending on technology, the best operating range is rate dependent.
A more simplified grouping of proposals was then done into only 2 categories:
 Category 1: MCTF/2D Wavelet methods, in particular the t+2d (MCTF before spatial wavelet)
methods: These showed best performance in Test 1, and performed reasonably good in Test 2.
 Category 2: AVC based, in particular on proposal combining AVC+MCTF with a
conventional base-layer upsampling: This showed best performance in Test 2, but did not
participate Test 1.
108
The results show clear evidence that technology exists which can be used as starting point of
SVC standardization, but can be clearly expected to further improve in the process of Core
Experiments. In particular, motion-compensated temporal filtering (MCTF) is a common basis
used in many (in particular the best-performing) proposals. MCTF establishes a framework
beyond the traditional MC prediction techniques of previous standards, which can in fact be seen
as a generalization including the traditional MC prediction closed loop, Progressive FGS
(closed/open loop combinations) and lifting (prediction/update) based MCTF (fully open loop).
Therefore, a first version of the Scalable Video Model (SVM) was drafted (N6372), which is built
around this generic MCTF framework. It was decided to test the other elements around this
common basis in Core Experiments.
A set of Core Experiments (see N6373) was designed for optimization and convergence of
different proposals within the two categories listed above. As starting points, the best performing
proposals in each category were selected. Core Experiments will be based on two software
implementations (one per category). The result of Core Experiments will be used in the July
meeting for the decision to adopt one complete codec architecture into the WD 1.0. While a high
degree of commonality can be observed about the approaches to achieve efficient temporal and
SNR scalability, the best method for the goal of spatial scalability is still open, This will have a
high impact on the adoption of the spatial transform for the WD, which could in fact either be a
2D wavelet transform or a block-based transform.
Common conditions for the CE were derived from the CfP rate/resolution points. Test 1 (3 layers
of spatial scalability) was adopted similarly, but reduced to only 6 different rate points, which
appears reasonable as the subjective quality was practically transparent at the 6 Mbit/s, while the
lowest rate point in some cases of sequences was even hard to decode by sufficient quality for the
single-layer anchor. For Test 2 (2 layers of spatial scalability) test conditions remained
unchanged. A methodology was defined jointly with the test group to evaluate selected CE results
by expert viewing tests in future meetings. In addition, one CE (CE 3) was defined to explore
methodologies which would allow to use objective criteria e.g. based on PSNR at least for
optimization of single tools within one scalable algorithm.
The following Core Experiments were defined:
a) CE 1 (MCTF+2DWT =category 1)
 1a: Scalable Motion Information
 1b: Spatial Transform & Entropy Coding
 1c: Intra Modes
 1d: Introduction of a base layer
 1e: MCTF with de-blocking
b) CE 2 (AVC based/extended =category 2)
 2a: Combination of MCTF and MC Prediction
 2b: Inter-layer prediction modes and upsampling
 2c: Comparison of SNR scalability technologies
 2d: Dynamic spatial transforms
It is within the mandate of the SVC CE Adhoc group to refine the definitions and conditions of
CEs within 3 weeks after the meeting.
With A joint meeting was held with the Systems subgroup to review two input documents
(M10591, 10592) which proposed to implement Layered Video Coding at the Systems layer of
existing MPEG standards, which could e.g. combine decoder outputs from one or two different
video coding standards in a traditional layered (base layer upsampling + enhancement difference)
approach. This method would however fully be accomodated by the SVM framework (and is a
simple case of it). Clearly, it is technically feasible, however the efficiency in terms of
109
compression performance, and the evidence about market needs are not clear. There is no need
for any urgent action.
A joint meeting was also held with JVT on the different aspects of SVC. This is rather important
as certain tendencies of convergence between AVC and SVC can be observed. Single-layer AVC
could be very important for usage as base layer in SVC applications, which seems possible in
both categories, and is also part of the CE explorations. SVC proposals from category 1 have
used some tools (e.g. motion vector encoding, CABAC) from AVC. SVC proposals from
category 2 are merely extensions from AVC. The MCTF framework could well be implemented
as an extension (though not minor) from AVC motion compensation tools, or also as an evolution
or superset of more traditional MC approaches, which have found their most advanced
development so far in AVC. Therefore, the MCTF framework seems to be of high interest for
both groups. Results of the CfP have shown that MCTF can even increase compression efficiency
as compared to single layer coding, but still performs competitive when operated scalable due to
the open loop concepts. It is the common opinion of both groups that it is necessary to make the
best use of existing technology and avoid divergence of standards.

Explorations
3D AV Coding
The main activities in the 3D AV exploration by the beginning of the week were to review
progress achieved in the Exploration Experiments (EE), and to summarize the responses received
on the Call for Comments (CfC) on 3D AV.
For EE1 (omni-directional video), it was proven that fast local decoding (for random access
determined by viewpoint request) is possible using tools from existing standards. A method of
"B-maps" was further investigated which provides another moderate reduction in bitrate for the
random access functionality. It is however consensus in the group that it is not worthwhile
111
presently to take any action in additional standardization for this aspect, as the existing tools are
sufficient.
For EE2 (free viewpoint adaptation), 3 new sets of test material for "3D-TV" and "cave
navigation" scenarios have been made available by participants. New exploration results are
reported related to
 the reconstruction quality achievable by disparity-based view interpolation with and without
residual encoding (starts from 200 bits/frame);
 Switching between inter-view and inter-frame prediction (gain of up to 2 dB over simulcast);
 Spherical ray space coding;
 Average Coding from multiple views.
23 responses were received on the CfC and analysed in detail. The high number of responses
shows the strong support and industry demand for Free Viewpoint Video as investigated in this
exploration. Many responses support the scenarios as described in the existing Applications and
Requirements document. Some responses give more concrete application examples that may be
planned for future products. Some responses also requests to start a more concrete standardization
effort. Relevant application scenarios were identified from the responses which could be used for
technology evaluation in a possible future CfP
a) 3D TV: Cameras are arranged in an array (e.g. 2x8). View adaptation is done by user
interaction or used for presentation on multiview (e.g. autostereoscopic) displays. In this
application domain, the main problem is an efficient multiview compression as compared to
simulcast
b) Interactive view selection: Cameras are distributed around a moving object or a larger scene
(e.g. around a sports stadium), and the user is allowed to navigate by selecting preferred viewing
position.
In both cases, the main issue related to the work of the video group is the efficiency of multiview
video representation, which however must not necessarily mean pixel-true representation, but
could also include high-quality synthesis of views.
In the context of EE1 and the former EE4, it was found that many functionalities of 3DAV can
already be achieved using existing standards tools by proper combination. Concrete cases will be
studied by the AHG with potential option to define a Multimedia Application Format, following
the requirements of Omnidirectional Video.
Results from EE2 are not conclusive yet about the maturity of 3DAV technology that might
require new tools standardization. This is partially due to the fact that test material that was used
earlier (until the Munich meeting) did not cover sufficient realistic application cases. To go one
step further in investigating the maturity of 3DAV technology, an MPEG-internal "Draft Call for
Evidence" (N6374) is issued instead of re-defining EE2. The expected outcome of this Call is
further clarification of maturity of existing solutions and exploration/refinement of testing
conditions for a possible follow-up CfP. It was decided that only compression performance of
multiview data representations can be evaluated at the moment. The rendering process must be
excluded, as this might bias the results or put certain technical solutions in disadvantage.
Therefore, technical proposals for exploitation of interframe/inter-view redundancies and
compact representation of multiview video data will be compared against simulcast at same data
rates. The simulcast anchors will be encoded by AVC, and the comparison in July will be made
using a similar expert viewing procedure as described above in the context of the SVC Core
Experiments.

Video Coding Tools Repository
A new explorational investigation on a possible definition of a Video Coding Tools Repository
(VCTR) was started in a breakout group which held two meetings during the week. The
background of this activity is as follows:
 The landscape of media coding usage has changed a lot for the last two decades
 The traditional One tool=One functionality rule may not always apply, and in fact does not
even exist across different MPEG standards, where newer standards may re-define tools from
older standards
 MPEG Video Standards are in competition with non-MPEG standards
 Similar building blocks are used over different standards, even though with (sometimes)
significant differences
 Building blocks from different standards could be combined
The following definition of the repository was made by the breakout group:
 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
 The collection materializes in textual description of different functional units, reference
software (and possibly hardware description), and conformance testing tools
The repository could be used by
 adding new functional units or extend the functionalities of the existing functional units to
create new profiles of existing standards or new standards;
 creating combinations of old/new functional units;
 implementers can integrate multiple decoders;
 upgrading video decoding capabilities;
 creating multimedia middleware components.
The definition of a functional unit is not the same as tool from existing standard and in most
cases is probably more granular. Definition of glue elements may be needed to fit different
functional units together. Study of typical functional units was started (e.g. DCT/IDCT, MC,
DC/AC prediction). However, even at this level, divergent definitions in different standards can
be found, which might make it difficult to achieve a common definition. Much more detail can be
found in Study of Video Coding Tools Repository (N6375)
Breaking existing standards into pieces that would allow their usage for this purpose might
require major re-definitions. This is due to the fact that previous standards definitions such as
MPEG-2 and MPEG-4, though formally based of tools, are syntactically similar to structured
programming in C syntax instead of taking a clean object-based approach.
It was further discussed that intra-only Video Coding could be an interesting example of the
Video Coding Tools Repository usage. In previous meetings, interest from industry had been
shown to combine intra tools from MPEG standards within standalone profile(s). Furthermore,
for intra coding tools, no complicated inter-relationships with prediction loop exists, such that
114
intra coding tools could relatively easy be isolated in terms of syntax, semantics and decoding
processes. The technical feasibility of intra-only coding shall therefore further be studied within
the work of the AHG on the repository.

MPEG-4 Extension 2, Parametric Audio Coding (Sunday 0900-1030)
Werner Oomen reported that all aspects of the Extension 2 Final Verification Report (e.g. the
open items in N6136), were now resolved. The only exception is to verify that FhG can provide
AAC LC reference bitstreams.

Comments on Draft Call for Proposals on Spatial Audio
Coding
Heiko Purnhagen
Kristofer
Kjörling
This proposed that the new work have two separate requirements:
 Best possible 5.1 presentation
 Best possible 5.1 presentation that in addition has a high-quality 1- or 2- channel
presentation capability.
There was a discussion on how to evaluate the stereo downmix. Both Kristofer Kjörling and
Werner Oomen, Philips, felt that the stereo downmix should be evaluated as one item amongst a
set of 5-channel items.
Kristofer Kjörling observed that this technology could be very valuable in conjunction with HE
AAC with a total bitrate that is quite low. Hence he recommended that such an operating point be
tested in the course of developing the technology. On the other hand, Werner Oomen, Juergen
Herre, FhG, and Christof Faller, Agere, agreed that Spatial Coding should be tested using very
high coding bitrates.
The Chair noted that use cases for the various operating points (tested in the course of developing
the technology) need to be clearly stated in some output document.
Kristofer Kjörling, Werner Oomen and Juergen Herre all agreed that the backwards-compatible
part should be tested and should be taken into account in the course of selection of RM0 and
subsequent CE work.

Evaluation of Spatial Audio Coding Schemes: Performance Criteria and Test
Methods
Juergen
Herre
This contribution proposes the following Figures of Merit
 Performance of 5.1 channel presentation
 Performance of 2-channel presentation
 Rate of spatial side information
The contribution proposed a number of additional requirements
 Same technology works for both 1-to-n and 2-to-n channel systems,
where the point is that there should be only one technology for these two use cases.
There was some discussion as to whether there needs to be both 1- and 2-channel backwards
compatibility. Again, these use cases must be clarified and agreed upon. All agree that there
should be a single unified architecture, although Werner Oomen and Heiko Purnhagen, Coding
Technologies, proposed that the 1 or 2 transmitted channels (1- and 2-channel backwards
compatibility) should not be constrained.
Stereo backwards compatible – for evaluation purposes, may have common conditions such that
the all proponents agree to use a single core codec.
Highest possible compression – may wish to let each proponent optimize the core codec to best
serve the needs of their technology.
119
The chair noted that we need to carefully specify what is tested and when:
 Selection of RM0
 Evaluation of CE
 Final Verification of Technology
The contribution proposes that
 The syntax should support all common loudspeaker arrangements. Werner Oomen,
Philips, proposed that the technology should be able to encode for one loudspeaker
configuration and decode to a different configuration. This could be proposed as an
“additional functionality” in the CfP, however there was no discussion as to whether this
functionality would be tested.
The contribution proposes that
 The spatial coding technology should be able to be represented at different rates, e.g.
responsive to the total bitrate flowing over the channel.
The contribution proposes that
 The downmix be constrained during the course of RM0 selection and possible CE work.
This has the benefit of simplifying the test load. Note that one might specify both the downmix
module and the core audio codec in the RM0 selection phase.
Presentation of the remainder of the contribution (dealing with subjective evaluation
methodology for multi-channel signals and first results for a spatial audio coding based system)
was deferred to the Audio subgroup meeting.
In summary, the presented part of the contribution proposes that
 If ITU-R downmix is used, then only need to test multi-channel output signals.
 If encoder-based downmix is used, then need to test both 5.1 and downmix presentations
for both 1- and 2- transmitted channels.
Juergen Herre would like to see evidence that evaluating a stereo downmix within a 5.1 channel
presentation gives meaningful information. The Chair noted that he would like to see this at the
July MPEG meeting.

This verified the performance of SLS CE2, in terms of compression ratio, percent improvement
in compression ratio and execution time. The CE showed 0.73 percent improvement in
compression and 20% improvement in execution time. The cross-check agreed with the
proponent report (I2R), so we take this as a verification of the CE. This concludes this CE2.

Crosscheck for Samsung’s Proposal on Context-Dependent Entropy Coding for
MPEG Audio SLS

This verified the performance of SLS CE3, in terms of compression ratio, percent improvement
in compression ratio and execution time. The CE showed approximately 0.5 percent improvement
(depending on the context mode) in compression and 10% increase in execution time. The crosscheck agreed with the proponent report (Samsung), so we take this as a verification of the CE.
The sense of the group was that this was a significant improvement in performance and that is
should be accepted. However the Chair noted that there is another CE (CE4) that is available for
evaluation at this meeting that appears to compete with CE3. Hence a decision on incorporating
CE3 technology into the RM was postponed until after CE4 was presented.

Singapore National
Body
Yuriy R, RN, commented that “complexity” has the dimensions of computation (i.e. MIPS),
memory, programs space, documentation and implementation cost and time. In this respect, the
compression/complexity trade-off is difficult. For example, a decrease in complexity that brings
little or no increase in compression might still be very valuable.
The Chair noted that as the specification progresses, the CEs tend to be less the type that adds
new modules, and more the type that makes existing tools more efficient, and the latter tend to
reduce complexity with little or no gain in compression.

Audio plenary discussions
New Test Material
Paul Jessop, IFPI, gave a presentation on multi-channel test material. He notes that this is not
limited to the MPEG community, and hence there may be quite a large community that would
like a new archive of audio test material. This could be a DVD-R containing:
 Waveforms in WAV file format
 various recordings
 various recording formats
 incomplete tracks
 documentation on how the recording was made
A licence for the material would be executed directly between IFPI and the company that will use
the material. The material could then be used within the MPEG community and also for
demonstration purposes at e.g. trade shows.
The IFPI expects the material to be
 Mono, Stereo, Multichannel 5.1, Ambisonics B
 Various microphone methods, plus synthetic recordings (e.g. Structured Audio)
 Various formats
 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96 and 192 kHz sampling rates, 16 and 24 bit word lengths.
Some 5.1 channel signals may have a parallel track of stereo material that could be
 An independent manual mix
 An active or passive downmix (with documentation as to how it was done)
Chair noted that this is urgently needed by the July. MPEG Audio experts are asked to
recommend material that is appropriate for test use within our community.
Paul Jessop noted that minor artists on major labels are most likely the easiest works to obtain. It
would be very helpful if the audio experts could cite interesting material as a specific CD or
DVD-A or SACD with track and segment.

Spatial Audio Coding
Juergen Herre continued with his presentation on

Evaluation of Spatial Audio Coding Schemes: Performance Criteria and Test
Methods
Juergen
Herre
He notes that the Audio Subgroup should choose a test methodology that is sufficient but also
efficient. He notes that the MUSHRA methodology, that facilitates the direct comparison of
systems under test, is particularly efficient and effective. He also notes that BS.1116-1
recommends the dynamic switching between Ref/A/B stimuli, although with a fade-out, 100ms
silence and fade-in to enhance sensitivity to imaging alterations.
An issue in any test is the choice of anchors. While MUSHRA mandates a low-pass filtered
anchor, this contribution proposes that, in addition, some “matrixed” multi-channel representation
(e.g. Dolby ProLogic II) be used as a low anchor and discrete multi-channel (e.g. MPEG AAC) be
used as a high anchor. FhG has run a test using the MUSHRA methodology with a BS.1116-1
type dynamic switching and looping. The anchors were
 Dolby Prologic II (on PCM stereo channel)
 MPEG AAC LC at 320 kb/s
While the system under test was
122

MP3 with Spatial Coding side information at 192 kb/s total rate
Discussion:
Gerhard Stoll, IRT, notes that MUSHRA is most appropriate for “intermediate quality” while
BS.1116-1 is for “small impairments.” The chair noted that there are several phases in
development of the technology: selection of RM0, subsequent CE work, and final verification
test. In this respect, the modified MUSHRA might be fine for the RM0 and CE phases, while
BS.1116-1 best for the verification test.
Gerhard Stoll also noted that for the final verification test, it would be appropriate to gather new
material and to do critical material selection. Juergen Herre proposed that for the RM0 selection
phase, proponents could propose material for the selection test.
Conclusions on this topic:
MUSHRA with dynamic switching is appropriate for RM0 selection and subsequent CE work.
BS.1116-1 may be appropriate for Final Verification Testing.
Further remarks:
Juergen Herre, FhG, remarked that RM0 should be selected such that audio coding distortion is
minimal to none. Werner Oomen, Philips, has observed that there is interaction between the core
audio codec and the Spatial Audio technology. Christof Faller remarked that we should be careful
to eliminate any interaction between the distortion of the core codec and that of the spatial audio
coding.
Consensus from this discussion:
There shall be one technology.
Perhaps two use cases:
A. Both high quality 5.1 and mono/stereo compatibility
B. High quality 5.1, no mono/stereo compatibility
Evaluation of use case A:
Technology shall be tested at two operating points:
 Proponent downmix encoded by Reference AAC LC at 128 + X kb/s SI; 16<=X<=32
o AAC bitstr in one file, SI in another
o No two-pass enc or per-item tuning
 48 kb/s total; proponent reports side info avg rate.
Where all rates are the average over the entire signal duration. The quality of the stereo/mono
compatibility signal is important in both operating points
RM0 selection criterion:
 best 5.1 presentation quality
 128+X stereo presentation “no worse than the Downmix Reference”
 48 stereo, if present, shall be downmixed to mono, and the mono presentation “no worse
than the Downmix Reference”
where “Downmix Reference” at 128+X kb/s is
 ITU-R 5.1 to stereo downmix which is then coded at 128 kb/s using the “reference
MPEG-4 AAC LC coder”
 ITU-R 5.1 to mono downmix which is then coded at 24 kb/s using the “reference MPEG4 HE AAC coder”
Final consensus:
After subsequent discussion in task group and in Audio Plenary, the consensus of the Audio Subgroup was recorded
in N6456, Draft Evaluation Procedures for Spatial Audio Coding.

Handling Audio Pre-roll in MPEG4
David
Singer
This proposal raises the issue of deterministic behavior of AAC codecs when encoding a segment
of audio signal (as opposed to a stream of audio signal).
The proposed solution is to associate additional information with the compressed audio data:
 Pre-roll
as in AVC file format. An AMD is in progress to support this in the ISO
file format.
 Edit list
as in the ISO file format.
The Audio Chair referred the group to Timestamp and Audio Codec Behavior (m10554/N6140).
Dave Singer proposes that start-up behavior is the same as for streaming behavior (i.e. give an
AU, get a CU), and confirmed that both of the following are “per track” in the MPEG-4 file:
 Pre-roll
in frames
frames prior to first output frame
(see AVC file format,
“roll-group”)
 Edit list
in samples
samples prior to first output sample (see ISO FF 14496-12,
“edit list”)
He further noted that Audio may have to make encoder and decoder start-up and
shut-down behavior normative (e.g. that an AAC decoders cannot “drop
Composition Units” on startup).

The issue raised by this proposal is that a given bitstream may be decodable by more than one
decoder (e.g. HE-AAC with an AAC decoder and a HE-AAC decoder), and this affects the
decoder delay.
The chair noted that one solution is to have identical delay without regard to which decoder is
used. However this is only valid for decoders that are aware of both decoding options, i.e. it is not
a solution for the case of legacy decoders.
There was consensus that Audio will take the following actions at this meeting:
Initiate a Corrigendum that specifies
 That timestamp is associated with the first sample of the CU derived from the AU.
 That decoders shall have normative behavior at start-up and shut-down (e.g. never
discard output blocks).
Revise 6140 to show how
 pre-roll and edit list parameters
can be used to achieve deterministic behavior in the case of encode to file and decode from
file.
And that the following are topics for further study

Audio will study how to specify deterministic behavior in the case that a single
bitstream can be decoded with more than one decoder with more than one decoding
delay.

This CE presented preliminary listening tests, but need a more extensive listening test. It is not
clear if the measured implulse response gives significant added value to BIFS. It was concluded
that the action for this week: is to determine if this capability is already supported within BIFS.
Later in the week it was confirmed that virtually all if not all of the desired capability of this
proposal could be met with existing BIFS technology. Hence this CE was withdrawn.

Task Group discussions
MPEG-2 Layer III
Bernhard Grill, FhG, presented the listening test results associated with contribution m10617. He
reported that the 96 kHz MP3 yielded much better performance for transient signals, e.g.
Castanets, and that if one changed the scale factor band structure, to maintain the same degree of
resolution for 96 kHz as is found for 48 kHz, then the proposal has improved performance for
densely tonal items. A listening test in the document showed that the mean performance of the
125
proposed 96 kHz MP3 system at 96 kHz was better than that of the 48 kHz MP3 system at 96
kHz.
Werner Oomen, Philips, remarked that if 96 kHz operation is standardized, then decoders in the
marketplace will have to support it. That would place a factor of 2 computational burden on
decoder platforms, and would most likely mean that manufacturers would have to move to a new
platform.
It was decided to accept the “MPEG 2.5” 8 kHz mode and incorporate it into the amendment,
while moving the 96 kHz mode text into a “Proposed High Sampling Rate for MP3” output
document and ask for National Body comments on the proposal.

This contribution proposed a method to extend BSAC syntax and semantics to support multichannel signals. Samsung advises that there is only 1- and 2-channel BSAC equipment in the
field, so that proposed changes will not affect backward compatibility to legacy equipment. There
is a Digital Multimedia Broadcast project in Korea, and it is proposed that this use multi-channel
BSAC. Samsung reported that the proposed changes are necessary to support BSAC within this
project.
Audio experts will review the proposal and consider e.g. the need to expand BSAC to multichannel as opposed to using existing MPEG multi-channel technology. A decision on whether to
proceed with an amendment will be made later in the week.
In discussions on Thursday it was clarified that, currently, BSAC can only use M/S coding for
stereo presentations. The new aspects of the proposal is to
 Make M/S coding available for e.g. 5-channel presentations using BSAC
 Support bitrate scalability on a per-channel basis.
Bernhard Grill, FhG, Heiko Purnhagen, Coding Technologies and Gerhard Stoll, IRT, all
commented that “channel dropping” as a method of scalability would not be acceptable to most
customers.
The consensus of Audio Subgroup was to
 Take no action at this meeting.
 Produce a “Proposed Enhancements to BSAC” output document
 Ask Samsung to bring to the next MPEG meeting
o Clear goals supported by proposed changes.
o Clear evidence that proposed goals lead to enhanced performance.

Tilman feels that this proposal does not deliver the best performance possible, due to its using a
16 (rather than a 24-bit) core coder. As an additional point, he suggested that the changes to the
RM that occurred as part of the floating-point implementation could be done in a better manner.
For example, there is redundancy in the code that could be removed and there are modules that
may be more complex than are necessary.
This was discussed later in the week, at which time NTT presented more carefully structured RM
code, which was acceptable to all parties. It was concluded that this CE advanced based on this
new code.

This proposed improved performance for encoding segments immediately following random

in compression. The Chair noted that this proposal is exactly the case in which an evaluation of
performance/complexity trade-off must be made.
The consensus of the Audio Subgroup is to accept this CE proposal since it has nearly zero
increase in complexity but does yield a moderate increase in compression, especially as the
interval at which random access is possible approaches a single accessUnit.

There was discussion as to whether both this CE proposal and also the TUB CE proposal are
compelling in light of their low complexity and simple integration into the ALS architecture.

General issues
Web site
The SNHC Web site is http://www.sait.samsung.co.kr/snhc/src/index.html
Resolution
As the web site hasn't been updated for a while, SNHC participants will add AFX Tutorial and other
documents to promote AFX technologies.
AFX Reference software
The AFX Reference Software has been transferred to NIST and is available via CVS at
1. Register your login/password at http://mpeg.nist.gov/reg/login_new.php
2. :pserver:<your login>@mpeg.nist.gov:/big/mpegcvs
3. <your password>
4. Checkout "MPEG-4/Systems2/IM1" module (case sensitive).
The AFX-related code is in OpenGL/AFX and conformance samples are in Tests/AFX.
Standards from SNHC
AFX conformance is finished; it has reached FDIS status at this meeting.
AFX AMD1was to be CD at this meeting but without AFX nodes expressed in XMT, it remains at
WD level.
MPEG-J extensions for rendering is the new MPEG-4 Part 21. It will be WD in July.
AFX COR1 has just started. The DCOR will be released at July meeting for 3-month ballot
In red, status reached at this meeting. In yellow, status reached at next meeting. Projects that
reached International Standard status have been removed.

Specifications updates
The list of modifications for existing specifications handled by SNHC is as follows.
151
05/01
05/07
05/07
Part 1/COR1
AFX bitstream carriage in MPEG-4 Systems is moved to 14496-16/AMD1.
14496-1 will contain a normative reference to ISO/IEC 14496-16/AMD1 for AFX bitstream
carriage.
Part 11/AMD4
XMT-A Schema updated with AFX nodes.
Part 11/COR1
Update node coding tables with AFX nodes removed (see section 0).
Part 16/COR1
Update MeshGrid DecoderSpecificInfo (see proposal m10377)
Update MeshGrid stream (see proposal m10377)
Update WaveletSubdivisionSurface stream
Add Bone-Based Animation corrections and quaternion support (see sections 0 and 0)
Update node coding table update but leave the node code.
Remove the following technologies
Light Field Mapping, Solid modeling, Particle systems
Part 16/AMD1
Delay at this time since XMT Schema is not ready.
Add BBA stream and PointTexture stream identifiers.
Move AFX stream decoder specific info from 14496-1.
Conformance and reference software
Conformance bitstreams are available and have all been tested by Samsung.
SNHC would like to thank Samsung for checking all the bitstreams.
M10655 – MorphShape node
This is a follow up of the MorphShape node proposed at last meeting. The node is now
implemented in IM1.
Resolution
Technology is stable and implemented. It is added to AFX/AMD1.
M10656 – BBA update for morphing
It is proposed to use MorphShape as a child of SBSegment and analyze how the stream needs to be
updated.
Using proposal m10730, this extension to BBA stream can be done.
Resolution
This update is accepted in AFX/AMD1.
M10730 – BBA extensibility
Correct BBA stream of AFX with a NoTypes indicator for future extensions.
Resolution
Add the proposal into AFX/COR1 to ensure backward compatibility with potential future
extensions.
152
M10707 – EE results on 3D model-based movie streaming
Resolution
Promising results but it seems too limited at this time, more explorations are needed.
Also, we cannot start a CE at this meeting; we need more industry support.
M10519 – CE Shadow
A new approach to the modeling of shadows was presented using shadow volumes. This works well
with static shadows. However, it is very time consuming, so it is recommended to use this algorithm
for simple geometry (no parametric surfaces). It was not tried with IndexedFaceSet node.
Shadow is implemented into reference software.
Comments
The scenegraph management for shadow nodes and relationships with shapes and lights seems to be
too big. We need to analyze this in detail. As this is a multi-pass algorithm, we also need to
understand in more details the complexity of the proposed solution.
Resolution
Continue CE for penumbra and generic meshes. Complexity analysis of the different passes is
needed.
M10593 – Implementation of AFX encoder
The following picture shows the architecture of the AFX bitstreams encoder provided generously by
Samsung. This encoder enables all AFX/SNHC bitstreams to be generated and multiplexed into an
mp4 files using IM1 tools.
The architecture is extensible so that any AFX bitstream encoder can be added. This is a great tool

Resolution
Companies with AFX bitstreams should extend this tool with their bitstreams encoder.
This software is added to the list of MPEG reference software.
SNHC expresses its gratitude to Samsung for the donation of this tool.
153
M10570 – Improvement of PointTexture compression
This proposal shows improvements in compression of PointTexture node for the depth and color
fields.
It was also proposed to update the BitWrapper node to support PointTexture streams. However, it
was found that only the AFX stream identifier needed to be updated not the BitWrapper node
coding.
Results
Depth improvement 32-52%, color improvement 2-5%
Resolution
Still need some improvement for color information compression. So the technology is kept in the
AFX/AMD1 WD.
M10691 – CE results on view-dependent multi-texturing
Goal: Perform real-time view-dependent weighting of the textures.
Syntax and semantics specification
Proposal is to add a weight array into the existing MultiTexture node.
The technology relies on 2 new nodes:
 MultiTexture is a Texture node to be used in Material.texture field.
 MultiTextureCoordinate is a new TextureCoordinate node
IndexedFaceSet.texCoord field.
to
be
used
in
Resolution
The technology goes into AFX/AMD1 CD
Implementation in reference software and text editing will be done within 1 month
M10579 – CE point-based rendering
For point-based rendering, it is proposed to extend existing DIBR nodes: DepthImage,
SimpleTexture, PointTexture, by simply adding 'V2' at the end.
Regarding compression, the scheme proposed by Samsung for PointTexture could be used but it is
believed a more efficient compression is possible taking advantage of the extra fields for these
nodes.
Resolution
The CE finished: the nodes are defined and functional with very good result.
Technology will be included in AFX/AMD1 CD with 1 month editing period if implemented in
reference software. Compression of this node will be defined for a new AFX amendment.
M10690 – Camera calibration
The proposal is to enhance computer graphics camera already in BIFS with more physical
parameters such as lens information.
Resolution
MPEG-4 already provides camera support from a computer graphics point of view. We need to
study the need for adding other physical parameters to model real cameras correctly.
154
Discussion: using quaternions in BBA
In BBA rotations is represented using Euler angles but in some cases Euler angles produce Gimbal
lock effects as already discussed during Trondheim meeting last year. It is proposed to add a flag to
select either Euler angles or Quaternions.
This adds one bit for rotation.
Resolution
Accepted (should have been a while ago!). Correction to BBA bitstream is added to Part 16/COR1.
Physical model proposals
M10582 – Real-time water simulation
A water simulator is proposed based on perturbation of a mesh representing the water. Using
environment mapping and other texturing effects, stunning visual representation can be achieved in
real-time.
However, the proposal focuses on simulation of oceans and lakes but may not address water in
small environments such a glass, sinks etc.
Other questions:
 How about collision detection with water?
 How about reflections on water?
Resolution
Start a CE on water simulation. Explore the simulation in a more global perspective with collision
with other objects, reflections and so on.
M10582 – Cloth simulation
A physical model is built on top of mesh linking vertices by springs. External forces apply to the
mesh and collision makes it behave like a real cloth.
This type of simulation is more generally addressed by the following proposal.
M10704 – Mass-spring
Generic method using physically-based animation using forces, physical models (mass-spring
models). It applies on whatever anisotropic/isotropic topology.
The information that must be added to such a model is:
 For each vertex: mass or inverse of mass
 For each spring: rest length, damping, stiffness, starting and ending mass
 For the overall object: masses on which forces are applied
Resolution
A core experiment about physic modeling is started. The goal is to define a general and efficient
representation for physically-based models.
MPEG-4 Part 21 MPEG-J extensions for rendering
MPEG-4 will be extended with a new Part 21 "MPEG-J extension for rendering"
Rational for new MPEG-4 Part 21
The MPEG-J extensions for rendering is a set of Java APIs enabling efficient graphics capabilities
to meet emerging industrial needs in graphics application combined with MPEG-J Application
Engine.
155
Consensus in SNHC
In order to write the Working Draft for the next meeting, we agreed
 To use M3G (JSR-184) as a starting point
 To maintain compatibility as much as possible e.g. extend M3G but not modify the APIs
 To work in liaison with JCP regarding extensions of JSR-184 specification
 To study extension of M3G for general platforms, if needed
 To study extension of MPEG-J for mobile platforms, if needed
 To study usage of M3G with MPEG
o Getting access to decoder's buffer for composition
o Investigate synchronization issues
o Investigate architecture considerations for MPEG-J to support M3G, such as
 MPEGlets are not MIDlets.
 JSR-184 is intended to be used within a Canvas. MPEG-J can't use Canvas.
Following Thursday Chairs meeting, it was decided to extend MPEG-4 with a new part:
Part 21: MPEG-J extension for rendering, will contain
 Normative reference to Mobile 3G Graphics (M3G) API 1.0/2003 (technically referred
as JSR-184)
 Extension to more general platform than mobiles
 Identify classes from other core Java APIs related to graphics and user interface
functionalities necessary to implement the MPEG-J Graphics API
 Study streaming of M3G file format
 Study the need for subset to cover needs in smaller footprint implementations

This section summarizes the discussions with MPEG Requirements group.
SNHC profiles
M10704 - Compressed 3D profile
We propose to extend the Simple3D profile with 2 new graphics tools + backchannel:
 SubdivisionSurface and WaveletSubdivisionSurface are added to Graphics' simple
compressed profile
 Backchannel support is added to Scenegraph's simple compressed profile profile. This
doesn't increase decoder complexity since backchannel has nothing to do with decoding.
It has been decided that Compressed3D profile will replace Simple3D profile since the complexity
is not that big between the two profiles and Compressed3D enables more applications
156
Support: France Telecom, Superscape, Orange, Mindego, Samsung.
Resolution
The profile will be adopted in 14496-16/AMD1 at the next meeting if bitstream exchange is done.
M10733 - X3D Interactive profile
Resolution
The bitstream exchange has been conducted. MPEG adopts the profile. It is added to 1449616/AMD1.
M10696 – Geo-referencing
Many consortia are working on geo-referencing: GeoVRML, GeoWeb, OpenGIS on the problem of
coordinate systems.
Examples of applications demonstrated:
 "Vivre a Rennes" from ArchiVideo
 Geo-positioning using GPS on mobile phone: 3D rendering on mobile, 3D maps, geoinformation (shops/hotels info etc.), virtual tourism (plan your travel, find hotel, virtual
monuments…)
 Adaptability on bandwidth
 Crisis management for disaster relief management (fire, earthquakes…)
 Urban planning
 Flight simulators and games
Technologies used
 Wavelets for streaming city map, not for building
 2.5D representation for buildings: send the footprint of the building and the client
reconstructs it.
 Scalability: adaptation to network bandwidth and to terminal capabilities
 View-dependent streaming
 Walkthrough or fly-over navigation
What is missing in MPEG-4 to do such applications?
It seems the efficient representation of so many buildings is not possible with current MPEG-4
technologies. However, we need to understand the technical details of the technology.
It is proposed to add a new requirement to MPEG-4: Support of different coordinate systems
(Cartesian, Geodetic, UTM, Geocentric). However, it is not believed that it is the role of MPEG to
support different coordinate systems. More exploration is needed.
Resolution
This is a very promising application and we encourage the proponents to submit more technical
details about the technology used and to study what is missing in MPEG-4. However, the
requirement proposed (MPEG should support other coordinate systems) has not been accepted.
Review of Call for Proposals on MPEG Graphics API
Two contributions: Hi's Mascot Capsule APIs and JSR-184 by UK NB.
Resolution (with Requirements and Systems)
157
MPEG should not reinvent the wheel. SNHC will study JSR-184 and recommend how to use it in
MPEG-4 in a sensible way. Liaison with Java Community Process (JCP) that handles JSR-184 will
be established. We need to understand the copyright issues regarding modifications of JSR-184 API.

update on software for DIP
This is a report from discussions on what the reference software for DIP should be. The basis will
be a refactored version of the Wollongong software, and the Ghent software will be integrated to it,
and the Sun contributions as well.
Last question: promotion of MPEG-21 reference software as CD. The consensus of the group is that
the components are all ready (everything which has reached FDIS). The editing period will be one
month. Frederik is to be named coordinating editor of the MPEG-21 Reference Software document
and the list of co-editors needs to be cleaned up.
Multimedia Test Bed
There was a discussion about the need for a Study document. The rationale was presented:
- port of DIA and IPMP
- as a consequence new APIs
- two week editing period

Convenor
In order to fill with appropriate text the Description section of the MPEG Reference
Software Guide, the Integration subgroup kindly requests from all implementers a short
description of their production including: language, status, functional description, input
format or API, output format or API, dependencies and any other information deemed
appropriate.
164
IPMP group has modified their document to answer that request. After the meeting, this will be
formatted into a module description and offered as example to follow for the other module authors.

Opening of the Meeting
Goals for the week
The goals of this week are:
 Presentation and discussion on results from SVC CfP
 Discussion on CE for ongoing SVC activities
 Presentation of results from Verification Tests for the MPEG-4 Error Resilient Simple
Scalable Profile
Joint Meetings
The following joint meetings were scheduled
 with JVT – Objective video quality measure
 with Video – SVC & Error resilience Test reports
Contributions
10737 Subjective test results for the CfP on Scalable Video Coding Technology (Baroncini /
Oelbaum)
10744 Results of the MPEG-4 Error Resilient Simple Scalable Profile Verification Test (Baroncini /
Reid)
Test Activities
Subjective test results for the CfP on Scalable Video Coding Technology (Baroncini /
Oelbaum)
Subjective tests were made at TUM (Munich) and ISCTI (Rome) between February 27th and March
12th . A SS (single stimulus) method was used to obtain the results, votes were given based on a
discrete eleven grade scale. Confidence intervals were below 0.7 for all results. Parts of the tests
were performed independently in both laboratories.
Results have shown evidence that new scalable video coding technologies exist that provide
subjective results within the range of <0.5 average deviation measured by an MOS scale, as
compared to a high-quality single layer anchor. In some cases of rate points, it was found that
scalable algorithms could perform superior to the anchor
SVC CE
An „expert viewing“ test method will be used to evaluate the different proposals in the CE process.
With this method a ranking between different proposals can be made using only very few (4 to 5)
experts and without the need of special resources. This method provides reproducible results for a
CE process. A detailed description of this test method will be given as an input document to the
next meeting.

Results of the MPEG-4 Error Resilient Simple Scalable Profile Verification Test
(Baroncini / Reid)
The new MMDSCQE (Multi Media Double Stimulus Continuous Quality Evaluation) was used in
this test to compare the unimpaired (but compressed) with the impaired video. Progressive scan
displays were used for the test and a PC mouse was used by the subjects to provide their quality
observations. Error patterns were gained using a GPRS link layer simulator.
The results clearly show the effectiveness of the Error Resilient Simple Scalable Profile compared
to the Simple Scalable Profile in an error prone environment as it is typical for a GPRS based
communication.
Objective video quality measure
The work presented in JVT-J024 contains some very strong weaknesses of which the most
important one is that the quality evaluation presented here does only consider the luminance values
and ignores the color information. The test group believes, that current objective quality measures
can not replace a careful designed subjective evaluation.
The author is encouraged to continue his work in groups that work on objective quality
measurements (e.g. VQEG).

Overview
The main work items of the Implementation Studies Subgroup in Munich are:
1. The advances in the development of the MPEG-4 “Part 9 Reference Hardware
Description” Phase 2 concerning the integration of the MPEG-4 Optimized Reference
software Part 7 and the Reference Hardware Part 9 so as to constitute a “mixed” software
hardware description of MPEG-4 video using the concept of the virtual socket.
2. The planning and extensions of the integrated framework for the support to the
development of MPEG-4 Part 9 with MPEG-7 part 7 and AVC (MPEG-4 Part-9)
software.
Input contributions w.r.t. the above items are summarized according to the following table:

Detailed Report
Reference hardware description for MPEG-4
The ISG activity at the Munich meeting has mainly been devoted to:
 the review of contribution on the “Virtual Socket” concept,
 the planning of the releases and advances on the integrated framework supporting the virtual
socket idea
 on the drafting of the new edition of the PDTR for MPEG-4 part 9,
 on the specification of the July demonstration,
 on the update of the Part 2 and Part 10 module submission commitments..
The release “1” of the integrated environment running the mixed software/hardware description
(MPEG-4 Part 9 and Part 7) using the chosen platform (Wildcard II) has been distributed to the
173
MPEG contributors to the development of Part 9 four weeks before the meeting. The updated workplan and detailed description of new releases and extensions is the following:
 Release “1” (current available version): The initial release of the virtual socket connects
to the LAD bus interface on the WildCard-II. The memory-map for the WildCard-II provides
each hardware accelerator with four defined regions: Read-Only Registers, Write-Only
Registers, Read-Only Memory and Write-Only Memory. There also exists a master
interface that provides access to the hardware accelerator identification register. Each
virtual socket development team will be assigned a bit that acts as presence indicators so that
software may determine which hardware accelerators are present within the framework. The
basic functionality of the virtual socket interface is to route the host traffic to and from the
appropriate hardware accelerator. As an example of creating a hardware accelerator it has
been created a block move design. The VHDL file, vs_blockmove.vhd, demonstrates how
one may connect to the virtual socket top-level located in virtual_socket.vhd. This
demonstrates the support for the HDL flow in Revision 0. The virtual socket interface
provides four strobe signals to each HWA indicating when a read or write is occurring to its
register or memory regions. The HWA then must act appropriately and in cases of reads,
must provide a strobe back to the top level indicating the data it is providing is valid.
Revision 0 also provides support for the Handel-C language. The virtual socket interface is
functionally identical to the HDL design with the exception of imported WildCard-II LAD
bus interface VHDL source. The interface to the LAD bus is provided in Handel-C code. An
external memory interface support is also introduced in this release. There is 2MB of 133
MHz ZBT SRAM located on the WildCard-II, and in Revision 1.0, this memory is
accessible by both the host software and hardware accelerators on the virtual socket.
Software may address the SRAM memory via the master unit. Since the entire address
space of the SRAM is not addressable directly, the user must use a segment-offset technique
that requires the writing to a 32-bit start address register mapped in the master unit’s register
space. The most significant bit (31) of the start address indicates whether accesses are to the
read or write only memory regions of the master: if 0, the ZBT SRAM; if 1, to the SDRAM.
A ZBT controller is provided within the virtual socket top-level that allows three hardware
accelerators to access the SRAM. An external block move example is provided to
demonstrate the additional control signals to interface with the ZBT controller defined by the
VHDL file zbt_manager.vhd. Hardware debugging support is also provided via a tool called
ChipScope. Using the WildCard-II’s Left User I/O external connector, a hardware
accelerator developer can debug their designs.

Release 1.1 (release plan on 15th April 2004) A DRAM controller will be added in
Revision 1.1 to read and write to the 64MB of 266 MHz DDR SDRAM located on the
WildCard-II. This complements the access to the ZBT SRAM provided in Release 1.0.

Release 2.0 (release on 30th April 2004) Support for co-simulation is provided in Release
2.0. A user can co-simulate their host software with their hardware code defined in either
Handel-C code or HDL code.

Release 3.0 (release on 15th may 2004) Release 3.0 will provide DMA access to the virtual
socket platform allowing faster access to the hardware accelerators. Support for interrupts
will also be provided. The MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC code will also be integrated into the code
tree.
Download Instructions for all releases:
174
All releases will be posted to the following ftp site:
ftp://mpeg:76a43uV@ftp.xilinx.com/pub/MPEG-ISG/
Each release will be contained in a zip file named MPEG_platform_revXX.zip, where XX is the
release number.
An updated table of module submission commitment has been defined (question marks indicate that
the commitment is uncertain concerning the delivery date or that the module has not been selected
for a submission commitment):

Report of Liaisons meeting

Jan Bormans
Following a request of the “Audio Video Coding Standard Working Group of China (AVS)” for a
formal Liaison relationship, WG11 has asked SC29 for the approval of a class C Liaison between
both organisations. AVS’s mandate is to establish standards for compression, decompression,
manipulation and display in digital audio and video multimedia equipment and systems. At present,
AVS comprises five sub-groups, concerned with audio, video, requirements and testing, system and
implementation, and security and copyright. The benefits of establishing a Class C liaison are to
facilitate:
 The active participation of AVS to MPEG standardization; and
 The efficient and timely exchange of information of work in progress.
(MPEG-2) IPMP technologies are expected to be the first topic of collaboration.
The Liaisons Group considered the following input documents:
