MPEG-4
Joint with Audio on MPEG-4 Lossless Audio Coding
The Requirements group and the Audio group met to discuss the results of the call for
proposals. The requirements assisted in asking questions. Decisions on how to proceed were
left to the Audio group.
Joint meeting with Audio on MPEG-4 Profiles
The Requirements group met jointly with the Audio group to discuss the MPEG-4 Profiles for
AAC and High Efficiency AAC. While some experts proposed adding some tools to the new
AAC profile (error resilience, scalability), there was no consensus for doing so and the
request was not supported by NB comments. The decision was not to make the change.
Joint with JVT on AVC Profiles and Professional Extensions
9470 AVC/H.264 Main Profile Response to N5423/F102 Request - Syed, Kar
The Requirements group met jointly with the JVT on AVC profiles and professional
extensions to the Advanced Video Coding standard. The issue of discussion was making Main
a hierarchical superset of Extended. It was recognized that achieving hierarchy was desirable,
but the meeting decided against the change, for a number of reasons:
 It is MPEG’s policy to achieve hierarchy where possible, but not at all cost
 ISG advised that it may incur complexity in terminals that don’t need the extra tools
(error resilience)
 There were NB comments advising against the change, and none for the change
A Call for Proposals (N5523) was issued asking for technology that can extend AVC to
professional applications. Technology includes 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 chroma support and 10 and 12
bit sample depth.
MPEG-7
MPEG-7 Requirements
9405 Proposal for update of MPEG-7 overview - Jose M. Martinez
There was an (incomplete) new version of the MPEG-7 Overview submitted. The editor could
not attend the meeting but agreed by email to update the overview with the outcome of the
Pattaya meeting.
MPEG-7 Profiles (Joint Meetings with MDS, Aud, Vid and Systems)
9370 AHG on MPEG-7 Interoperability and Profiling - Wo Chang, Eric Rehm
9517 Profile for interactive PPL and related applications - Sang-Kyun Kim
9400 Liaison Statement from TV-Anytime Forum on MPEG-7 Description Profiling [SC 29
N 5224] - SC 29 Secretariat
9500 A Simple Metadata Profile with Levels - Eric Rehm et. many al. (NOT AVAILABLE,
but elements were still addressed)
After going over the contributions, it was decided to create a working draft for the MPEG-7
Profiles (MPEG-7 Part 9), with only the one or two most stable profiles included.
Unfortunately, this document could not be completed by the end of the week; it is now a task
of the MPEG-7 Requirements AHG to complete this work. Profiles that have not been worked
on for the last few meetings will be moved to the Section “Abandoned Profiles” at the next
39
meeting. If no one shows interest in these profiles, they will be removed at a subsequent
meeting. The new PuC document is N5527.
The Group will keep working with the TV Anytime forum as an important user constituency,
and welcomes its comments.
9593 An additional issue on MPEG-7 Video Program Profile - Sano, Shibata
The contribution suggests changes to the Video Program Profile and to the way Profiles can
be defined. The meeting agreed on the points made by the contributors.
The Profiles under Consideration Document (N5527) was updated according to proposals in
m9593, and also “Description on MPEG-7 Profiling was updated (N5528), notably
highlighting that Profiles can define semantic constraints that are not otherwise expressed in
the syntax.
MPEG-21
MPEG-21 Part 1 (Technical Report) Edition 2
A new edition of the MPEG-21 Technical Report was started at this meeting. The existing
document is one of the most popular for people that are trying to understand what MPEG-21
is about, but unfortunately MPEG’s understanding of MPEG-21 has evolved in major ways
since the TR was finalized and approved. The new “Draft of PDTR” (N5534) is up-to-date
with respect to the MPEG-21 parts that are approved or under development. Its outline
reflects current thinking better than the old version. The Requirements Subsections have been
updated considerably.
MPEG-21 Requirements - General
9416 USNB Contribution: Mobile applications for MPEG-21 - A. G. Tescher for USNB
This contribution sparked an interesting discussion. Observations and conclusions are:
1. We need to be able to subset REL (and possibly other tools in MPEG-21
2. We need to be able to signal support for such subsets (Profiles) in MPEG-21
We do not know yet how to do this – because we still do not understand the architecture of
MPEG-21
There is reportedly interest in OMA to work together with MPEG on subsetting the REL.
Stage 1 is standardized in OMA – based on ODRL. Now defining requirements for phase 2 –
working assumption is ODRL but the reports are that OMA participants are concerned about
interoperability with MPEG and rest of the world
Should MPEG define profiles or just give others the possibility to do so? We must learn from
MPEG-4 experience. Too many profiles were defined in MPEG-4, but on the other hand,
industry has chosen a very restricted subset of Profiles that it likes, and a good consensus has
emerged. Providing the tools for everybody to define their own profile requires an
infrastructure to translate between different infrastructures, and may result in noninteroperability
Would it be good that MPEG defines Profiles? (Or should MPEG leave it to other to do so)
 pro: eases interoperability
 con: one person’s profile may not suit another
It is definitely too early to define profiles. (That’s what USNB says too). But we can start
asking for comments and input:
 OeBF
40
 OMA
 IEEE LTSC
 MPEG constituency itself
We can give them guidance on how we define profiles. Should we organize an “MPEG-21
REL User Group” meeting?
Brad Gandee volunteered to draft document as follows:
 What is a profile?
 How would you go about defining one? Example helps. (caveat 1: this is only an
example caveat 2: we may or may not engage in standardizing profiles)
 What are existing thoughts on which subsets might be useful in specific industries?
This document still needs to be created.
9518 FNB Comments on MPEG-21 DIA: REL-RDD Terminal Capabilities Description Abdellatif Benjelloun Touimi
FNB submits that a terminal may not support REL, but other language, and should still be
able to operate in the MPEG-21 framework. Proposes standardize descriptors in DIA that
indicate tools for MPEG-21 REL and other, alternative tools. Would in principle allow
translation (adaptation) of rights expression used in DI to rights expression supported in
terminal. MPEG policy on supporting non-MPEG technology if there is an MPEG way to
solve the problem has historically been through the use of registration authorities.
After a discussion, the group came to the following resolution:
The Requirements Group advises not to add descriptors for alternative Rights Languages to
DIA as requested by the French National Body. The Requirements Group recognizes that
there are two related issues at stake:
1) Achieving interoperability in the MPEG-21 framework
2) Dealing with tools in the MPEG-21 framework that are alternatives to MPEG-21
tools.
The Requirements Group is of the opinion that these issues should not and cannot be solved
piecemeal. Rather, MPEG needs to arrive at coherent approach. In this particular instance,
there is the extra complication of having to manage trust in the framework, which makes it
doubtful that the suggested solution will actually work.
The Requirements Group feels that the issues cannot be resolved before there is a better
understanding of the MPEG-21 Architecture and how it facilitates interoperability, and hence
recommends not making the suggested changes to the DIA specification. The French National
Body and other concerned parties are invited to contribute solutions to questions 1) and 2)
called out above.
Event Reporting
9375 AHG on Event Reporting - FX Nuttall, Andrew Tokmakoff
Event Reporting is still in requirements development phase. The recurring theme in the
discussions (see below under MPEG-21 IPMP Requirements) is that the various roles that
Event Reporting can play in MPEG-21 need to be better understood before a complete set of
requirements can be written and a CfP can be published.
9601 Comments on Preliminary CfP on Event Reporting N5336 – Gandee, DeMartini.
Contributions submits that REL may be used for Event Reporting. Group made initial
assessment and concludes that many requirements can be addressed, but agrees that
requirements need to be further development to make a final assessment.
41
Output docs are: N5531
(Workplan ER Core Experiments on Event Reporting
Language) and
N5532 (REL Evaluation against Event Reporting Requirements).
9404 ANSWER TO MPEG 21 - Event Reporting Group ARGOS International Organization
The Group was pleased to learn that AIO supports the ER work and is willing to bring its
expertise to the work.
MPEG-21 IPMP Requirements
A recurring theme in the IPMP discussion was that there needs to be a better understanding of
the architecture of MPEG-21, and how the different elements work together. Several sessions
were held discussing the issues, starting with basic and simple use cases and walk-throughs.
The Group concluded again that IPMP is central to MPEG-21’s architecture, and should be
designed in from the start rather than as an afterthought. The discussions also revealed that
there are different (often implicit) views on how MPEG-21 works in the MPEG-21
community, and the exercise of trying to arrive at an explicit and shared view were highly
valuable and productive (but do take considerable time). These discussions need to – and will
– continue, because the effort was not nearly completed. Draft output is found in N5529.
Continuing these discussions is a major element of the AHG meeting that is planned for the
first week of June in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Group decided in a recommendation to
hold central MPEG-21 meetings with all involved groups every Wednesday ‘for the
foreseeable future’ – i.e., until there is no longer a need to do so.
9374 AHG on MPEG-21 IPMP - Craig Schultz, Barney Wragg
9394 MPEG-21 requirements for IPMP (Draft) – Wragg
The AHG did useful work and a result was a draft for requirements for an “IPMP Language
and Dictionary”. Some usage scenarios were developed over the weekend, but not yet
incorporated in any output document. It was observed that it may be necessary to write
specific use cases for IPMP, next to the ones that already exist in the MPEG-21 Use Case
Document.
9403 MPEG-21 IPMP requirements Contribution - Knox Carey, et.al.
The contribution argues that the MPEG-21 architecture needs to be better understood before
comprehensive requirements can be written and a design/specification phase can be started.
The contribution also gives a framework for discussion about where IPMP functionality
resides, and what needs to be standardized. Lastly, the contributors took a look at the major
roles in the value network and the requirements and can be gleaned from those interests.
M9403 was integrated into m9394 and the result is N5535.
9436 An interpreted solution for interoperable and mobile IPMP systems - Alberti, et.al.
9437 Draft core library for the Structured IPMP Language - Claudio Alberti et.al.
9438 Proposed syntax and semantics for the Structured IPMP Language – Alberti et.al.
The Requirements Group took a high-level look at these contributions on what could be called
‘Structured IPMP’ – a programmable approach to IPMP like Structured Audio is a
programmable approach to audio coding. While very interesting, it is too early to determine
whether these contributions represent a good solution, as the group is still in the process of
defining the problem and its requirements.
9610 DVB-CPT's current status and its impact on IPMP - Ji Ming et. al.
A report was given on the difficulties DVB is experiencing in defining a specification for
Content Protection and Copy Management. Specifically, it has proven difficult to find consensus on
42
what constitutes and Authorized Domain. The meeting discussed the issues for a while, and
noted that, where DVB tries to essentially define a business model, MPEG may stop sort of
doing so, but rather will define the tools that allow the market to define these concepts.
Persistent Association
9372 AHG on Persistent Association - Niels Rump, Paul Jessop
9392 Evaluation Methods for Persistent Association Technologies WD - Niels Rump (ed.)
The group decided to seek input from industry through a special AHG meeting. The agenda
for this meeting is in N5537. The meeting is bi-located in New York and London with a
conference bridge between these two locations. Date is 5th of May, 2003. An updated version
of the WD was issued as N5536.

9428 Suggestions on MPEG-21 Processing Items and Method Items - De Keukelaere, …
9611 Suggestions on MPEG-21 Processing Items and Method Items - Thomas DeMartini
These contributions and submissions were mainly dealt with in the MDS Group. In joint
meetings, however, it became clear that the MDS group had a hard time deciding on which
road to follow, basically because the requirements were poorly written and open to multiple
interpretations. The main item of dispute was the sophistication and power of DIP. Is it just
about a few simple basic operations on Digital Items and a way to structure these, or about a
(much) more extensive system allowing complicated operations to be programmed? The link
with MPEG-4 scene description was also discussed, and there were concerns that DIP would
duplicate much of the MPEG-4 Scene Description work.
In several break-outs and joint meetings, the concepts were further investigated, and the role
of DIP was clarified – although the last word about the exact nature of DIP has probably not
been said yet. The conclusions did allow the MDS group to proceed. It also became clear that
DIP and IPMP are closely linked, and that DIP may play a central role in the discussions on
the MPEG-21 (IPMP) Architecture.
Multimedia middleware/API’s
Several discussions were dedicated to an assessment of the adoption of MPEG’s standards,
and where more work would need to be done. It was concluded that work on Multimedia
Middleware would be a useful addition to bring the newer MPEG standards closer to market
adoption.
The idea is to define an API exposed by a Middleware sitting on top of a generic Operating
System, so that downloaded applications are offered an easy and rich access to terminal (Peer)
resources. While this proposal fits directly into the MPEG-21 vision it also has clear
application to other MPEG standards (like the other work in MPEG-21). A close link exists
with
AN initial list of functionalities that could be offered by the API is:
1. Media coding and decoding - MP3 players, MP4 decoders,
2. Graphics supporting MPEG-4 rich media (MPEG-GL)
3. DRM functionalities, such as IPMP hooks,
4. Metadata
43
5. Media adaptation
N5533 captures these first thoughts.
MPEG Vocabulary
It was noted that MPEG would benefit from a vocabulary of terms that are used in MPEG.
This vocabulary would be useful both inside and outside of MPEG. It would not contain terms
that have a commonly understood meaning in literature, but more terms and acronyms that
have been defined to have a specific meaning in an MPEG context. It would span all MPEG
standards. An AHG was created to start drafting the vocabulary (N5544)
Multimedia Testbed
A first Requirements document was drafted for the Multimedia Testbed. (N5538)
Explorations
Joint with Video on Scalable Video Coding, 3D coding
9453 Proposal of Applications and Requirements for Scalable Video Coding – Honda et.al.
9559 Meta-Data requirements for EE4 in MPEG 3DAV - Christoph Fehn, et.al.
The Group discussed the new requirements proposed in these contributions. The document
“Applications and Requirements for 3DAV” (N5539) was updated with material from them.
Studies continue. The work mainly takes place in the Video Group.
The Call for Evidence for Scalable Video Coding was reviewed and edited. The resulting
documents, N5540 (Applications and Requirements for Scalable Video Coding) and N5559
(Call for Evidence for Scalable Video Coding) were updated and considered sufficiently
mature for publication.
Acknowledgement
He Requirements Group expressed its sincere appreciation for the dedicated and conscientious
way that Fernando Pereira has served as the chair of the Requirements Group between the two
Pattaya meetings. The group missed his presence in Pattaya, and hopes and expects to have
the benefit of his active participation in Trondheim again.

M9414: Several comments on text representation. Reference to OpenType: Agreed, MPEG
will reference OpenType 1.4 and enable referencing of future OpenType spec. Profiling:
Agreed, a list of technology that can be used to define profiles of the text representation will
be made available in the CD. IP Statements: Agreed, Cf. Explanatory report. Scaling (and
more generally rendering): Agreed and will be documented in the MPEG-4 spec. Rendering
model similar to PDF and printing: not the current MPEG model, complexity of the terminal
will be monitored by the means of profiles. Requirement of Unicode ‘cmap’ table: Agreed.
Support color bitmaps: already supported in BIFS. Comparing font compression technology:
Cf. M9432 and M9548.
M9464: Proposals to complete fonts downloading into MPEG-4 Systems. Discussed and
captured in the CD. Fontformat values: rejected. MPEG will not refer to proprietary solution
but MPEG will put in place an RA mechanism. The table of values may also include other
ISO standards. Streamtype for Font Streams: Agreed.
M9432, M9548: Benchmarks on Compression Percentages, Zip Compression Versus
MicroType Express Compression. The two contributions are consistent although the figures
are calculated differently (incremental compression gain over original in M9548, differential
gain between techniques in M9432). The gain achieves by MicroTypeExpress (20% to 30%
over zip) justifies its standardization by MPEG.
M9550: Agreement that MPEG should define a simple format for streaming text (will be
under the Streamtype Scene Description and there will be one or more object_type
indication);

It should be easy to translate between the 3GPP specification to the MPEG
specification;

It should be flexible enough to accommodate future requirements from W3C;

It should be easy to integrate in a BIFS scene (ex: new nodes, or use of existing
nodes).
To be documented in the WD with 3GPP mapping as an example.

to ETO: is it an access to a file systems or a generic access to an elementary stream? (More

M9509: Storage of encrypted media in MP4. Agreement that we should signal whether a
stream is protected or not. Decision to allocate new Streamtype values for that purpose. Will
be included in an on-going amendment of Part 1 (Amd.7).
M9522: Proposal of Guideline for Brands of File Format. Decision to take it as starting point
for an informative Annex of the file format.
M9521 (updated from Awaji 9229): “This was neither accepted nor rejected. The group
would like to commit this question for further study of both the motivations and usage, and
the proposed solutions, for the next meeting. This will be part of the mandate of the ad-hoc
group.”
Why is it necessary to have complex structures when there are too many frames? Why put
too many frames in in the first place? The meta-data within the samples really breaks a
design principle.
The motivation is to try to reduce the size of the moov atom; but we already have movie
fragments. We seem to be introducing complexity and layer violations here; do we need
multiple frames per sample? The assumption is that the total amount of meta-data is roughly
constant; does it really gain to move it around?
M9612 (movie fragments) : This gives an alternative to frame_count, by using fragments.
Matsushita feels that both approaches are valuable; frame_count for compacting the moov
atom in non-fragmented files (for editing etc.), and fragments when they are acceptable. But
how editable are multi-frame per sample files?
M9605 (sample structure) : Also looking at frame_count > 1. There seems to be several
defintions of “sample” here (single AU, many AUs, many AUs with an embedded moof
atom); this needs to be clarified. There are some design issues here which need clarification
51
(sample definition particularly, and the fact the movie fragments are defined to extend in time,
not provide more detail for, an existing movie).
Conclusion on these contributions:
1) The issue is the up-front meta-data size (moov atom size) in download-and-play
(progressive download), and random accessibility. But we already have movie
fragments for this case, and indeed the mfra box if you want to random access without
adding the fragments into a single moov.
2) Operations done in memory in, for example, editing systems, need not influence the
file format. Example: the moov atom can be compacted by various techniques
including subsetting the data. Only if the interchange format precludes this do we
want to change it.
3) We’d really like to see figures that show an overall win when the interoperable file
format is used, for having multiple frame samples. Multiple frame samples really
complicate lots of issues and we need a clear win to justify them.
4) We are willing to add an informative section to the ISO File format amendment on
how to manage the moov atom size and these issues: editing, random access,
progressive download with and without discard of data or caching of data, and so on.
We welcome contributions providing text for this annex. We note that the
recommendations on forming fragmented files (aligning fragments etc.) in 9612 could
be part of this annex.
M9411: US NB : ‘avc1’ accepted. We should also change the sample entry and any other
places we call the codec ‘JVT’. On the frame typing, accepted in principle but detailed design
is needed, and provided in the following contribution which was accepted in principle.
M9534: Dave Comments. Dave/Zubair should design the table for depends-on/is-dependedon (two bits each, with a don’t know value), and the ‘pre-roll group’. Samples should be
allowed to not belong to any group of a type (group index == 0). The rest was taken as input.
XXXX – Questions from Thomas W.
 No start codes. The elementary stream shall not include start codes. As stored, each NAL
Unit is preceded by a length field; this enables easy scanning of the sample’s NAL Units.
Q: Why no start codes, but length field instead?
You want to avoid parsing the stream, I guess. But you are mixing metadata and media data in
this case. Hinting of the tracks is possible but becomes more difficult.
ANSWER:
Start-codes make it easy to parse the NAL Units without having to scan for start-codes; you
can easily skip down the NAL Units looking at them. I'm not sure I get the comment about
'mixing'; AVC gives us the choice, and it seems that in a memory/disk format the length field
choice is better. I think hinting is easier; it's easy to tell 'does the next NAL Unit fit into a
packet', for example. I agree, if you are delivering over a start-code-based stream, you'll have
to replace the length fields with start-codes. If start-codes had been a consistent size, we
might have mandated that size for length fields.
 The sample data shall follow the syntax and semantics defined for AVC video access units
in sub-clause 4.1.4.
52
Q: Why multiple pictures in an AU?
Why not creating several tracks? You will have an overhead of metadata, but it is small
compared to media data. How do you know which of the picture is the one you want to read?
How do you know its relation? You need to have a description of each AU because it can
varies from AU to AU.
You are mixing metadata and media data in this case as well. You will need multiple hintsamples and a description of each hint-sample.
ANSWER:
We have changed the design to match a sample to an access unit. This means that if there are
several switching pictures (with different dependencies) at the same time, several tracks are
needed.
 The switching track must be linked to the track into which it switches (the destination track)
by a track reference of type ‘swto’ in the switching picture track.
 If the switching track contains SP pictures, the switching track must be linked to the track
from which it switches (the source track) by a track reference of type ‘swfr’ in the switching
picture track.
If you have multiple pictures in a switching track, how do you know which picture of an AU
is needed to switch to the desired video track? There might be not only two video tracks.
There could be a single switching track for each switching.
How about “connecting” the source track ( with its own tref) with the switching tracks, and
each switching track with the destination track? No parsing of all switching tracks necessary
only the ones linked with the source track.
‚swrf’ – this track uses the referenced track(s) as a switching crossover to a different track
‚swto’ – the referenced track contains the media data where this track switches to
ANSWER:
The problem comes with SI tracks; they don't have a 'from' track at all. So you always have
to look for switch tracks to see where you can go -- you can't rely on them being linked to the
'from' track as you suggest. In general, I think you'll have to form the graph when you open
the file.
Q: How do you want to handle redundant slices? In a separate track like switching pictures?
They are part of the access unit according to the JVT spec., so they are currently in-stream. I
think more work may be needed in this area. What's the technical difference between a
redundant picture with different dependency from the primary, and an SP picture from and to
that same stream, with different dependency from the primary?
53
M9624: Statistics from Dominique. The graphs show a bi-polar distribution; large NAL
Units and small ones each having a bunch. The contribution save about 400 bytes over a 30second 60 kbit/s sequence. This is not worth it for the file format, or for MPEG-4 systems.

MPEG-7 Systems (15938-1)
General
Joint with Audio – Binarization of audio descriptions
It was agreed that a joint CE will be set up to investigate type specific codecs for 159381/Amd 1 to efficiently encode audio descriptor with non uniform. parameterized quantizers.
Joint with Requirements – MPEG-7 Schema Profiling
The signaling of profiles in textual MPEG-7 descriptions has been discussed. It has been
identified that signaling of profiles is only relevant for the current state of the standard and not
for former stages. Due to this fact it is sufficient to support profile and levels in the 159385/Amd1 if this specifies the current state of the standard when profiles and levels are defined.
54
Joint with MDS - schema versioning
The MDS group has a versioning problem. It requires the help of the DDL group to evaluate
the best strategy to manage schema evolution. Decision was taken to postpone promotion to
FDAM. Jointly with MDS an output document will be generated to specify the problem of
extensibility, to discuss usecases and requirements and to elaborate on initial solutions.

M9574: Taken has the basis for the production of the new study.
M9449: The contribution presents the work undertaken in TV-Anytime on fast random access
into BiM streams. Contrary to the assumption of the authors of this contribution the M9240 is
not focusing the indexing of one single AU but a stream of AUs. The group concludes that the
fast random access mechanism presented seems well suited for the restricted BiM streams
specified in the TV-Anytime. However due to restrictions applied to the BiM streams which
are not applicable in MPEG-7 the random access mechanism lacks functionality and
efficiency if applied on not restricted BiM streams. The group decides to evaluate the
proposed technical requirements and to take them under account for further evaluations.
Furthermore as a work item of a continued CE on fast random access into BiM streams the
applicability of TV-Anytime approach to MPEG-7 shall jointly with TV-Anytime be
evaluated and harmonized solutions shall be considered.
M9483: The contribution presents the results of the core experiment on the multiple payload
mode with rational position codes. In the report the encoding/decoding method of the rational
position codes in the multiple payload mode for the version 2 standard are specified. The
method uses the incremental position codes same as the version 1 standard, and realizes the
multiple payload mode by only adding sorting/re-sorting processes of the rational positions at
encoding/decoding. The Group decided to adopt the rational position codes for the multiple
payload mode as specified in the CE-9 report M9483 in the Study of PDAM. To investigate
an efficient ordering of the rational position codes a mini experiment is started.
55
M9519: The contribution presents the results of the core experiment on deferred node and
fragment references. Solutions of fragment references from both viewpoints of the
consistency between the deferred node and the fragment references, and the mapping between
the TeM and the BiM have been evaluated. A technical solution improving the solution
should be provided if necessary. The report illustrated that the proposal in N9235 lacks the
specification of “non deferred fragment references” of the current approach in the PDAM.
Furthermore the report evaluated that the “FragmentReferenceDeferredNode” is currently
only supported by BiM and not by TEM. Compared to the coding size of fragment references
it is questionable if the binary representation of context paths is a significant part of the
bitstream so that further compression of this part is meaningful. On the other hand the
computational complexity of resolving fragment references would favor to have an efficient
mechanism to identify the fragment references in the BiM stream. This is obviously supported
by the filtering capabilities of the current approach. The group decided to continue the CE and
to provide evidence that the compression with respect to the code size are essential and to
propose and evaluate mechanisms to provide this functionality within TEM, since it is at least
desired to provide the same functionality by BiM and TeM.
M9520: The contribution presents an Extension of Fragment References. A specification of
the extended fragment references that supports referencing description streams is provided,
the relationship between the extended fragment references and the multiple description
streams is clarified. The proposal lacks clarity how the context paths of the substream are
encoded based on a virtual root in the substream. Furthermore no constrains on the decoder
init of the substream is specified. It is not clear that compatibility can be ensured without
constraining the substream with respect to namespaces and type codecs. Also the initialization
of referenced substreams prior to their reference in FUUs seems to be required. To clarify
these questions already a vivid discussion via email took place during this meeting. Based on
the progress in clarifying these issues the group was confident that continuing the CE on
multiple bitstream will result in a mature contribution of tools and evaluation thereof to the
65th meeting. So the decision was taken to continue the CE on coding of multiple bitstreams.
M9560: The contribution presents the results of the core experiment on fast random access
into BiM streams. The authors evaluate the usage of TVA approach in the MPEG-7
framework. It is stated that the separation of indexed paths and indexed value seems to be also
applicable in MPEG-7 in general. However the use of IndexList with fragment and key paths
seems not to be appropriate due to constrains on the encoded fragments which do not exist in
MPEG-7. Also Mandating the use of sub-indices seems not to be efficient in all cases.Beyond
that storage concepts for the index data and referencing mechanisms of FUUs were evaluated.
Referencing in the case of external indices and asynchronous delivery of descriptions needs
further consideration. First evaluation results based on this implementation of the indexing
approach proposed in M9240 were presented. The authors concluded based on these
experiments that look ups into the stream can be significantly accelerated. However due to the
size of the index efficient representation of index data matters.The group decided to continue
the CE to evaluate a harmonization with the TVA approach, to evaluate reference
mechanisms of FUUs further also with respect to mechanisms of fragment references used in
FUUs and to investigate possibilities for a more efficient representation of the index data.
M9567: The contribution presents the results of the core experiment on Evaluation of
Quantization Schemes for Binary Audio Metadata – Non Uniform Quantization - This
document shows that quantization error could be clearly reduced by using non-uniform
quantizers in the examined example scenario. However neither a implementation into the
reference software nor a specification of the codec syntax has been specified. The group
56
decided to continue the experiment for type specific codecs and to specify non regular
quantizers for matrix datatypes and specific audio datatypes (if needed). For these
experiments the codec/type mappings in PDAM 1 will be evaluated.
M9578: Proponent absent. Differed.

9373 AHG on Digital Item Processing
Topic:
 Presented results of two-day AHG meeting on DIP, in which responses to call were presented:
Recommendations:
1. The AHG thanked the authors of the following documents for their input: m9406, m9423,
m9426, and m9434.
2. The AHG recommends that WG11 issue a first working draft for DIP out of this meeting.
The working draft outline should contain:
i. Section on non-DIML non-DIBO stuff in DIP
ii. Section on names, parameters, and behavior of DIBOs
iii. Section on DIML and syntax of DIBOs
3. The AHG is of the opinion that either of the two proposals for DIML (MPEG-J Bytecode
Model using new APIs (hereinafter referred to as "MPEG-J") and ECMAScript) can be
used to satisfy the requirements. However, as there are many use models for the DIML
we feel it is not appropriate to force all Users to use a bytecode approach or a scripting
language approach. Therefore, the AHG recommends that the DIML section provide for
the choice between the MPEG-J and ECMAScript and that the scope of these will be that
they operate at the DID level.
4. The AHG further recommends that the DIML section contain an informative guide to aid
the decision to use MPEG-J or ECMAScript and that such guide contain the following:
i. If you want to express the method inside the DID in a textual format, then
you should use the scripting language.
ii. If fast execution speed is critical, then you should use the bytecode.
iii. If the DIM is relatively small, you should use the scripting language.
iv. If the DIM is relatively large, you should use the bytecode.
v. If the DIMs are to be edited and/or created by less-experienced
programmer then you should use scripting language.
vi. If the DIMs are expected to work together in the same runtime
environment then you should use the bytecode.
vii. If the consuming User of the digital item requires the methods they
consume to be preverified, the creating User should use the bytecode.
5. The AHG recommends that the above list of functionalities be considered by the
requirements group to prioritize those functionalities with respect to each other and also
with respect to the decision to have 1 or 2 languages. The AHG further recommends that
satisfying all the above 7 functionalities be considered more important than any
requirement to only have one language.
6. The AHG recommends that for each DIBO the standard
i. Should specify:
1. Name
2. Parameter
3. Behavior (Including Action Type and Events it relates to, if
applicable.)
4. Exceptions Thrown
5. Return Value
ii. Should not specify:
1. Implementation
7. The AHG recommends that WG11 begins creating a list of DIBOs by defining the
evaluation process for DIBOs (those from the proposals as well as additional ones to be
74
proposed in the future). In order to do this, the following steps should be taken:
i. First develop
1. Base platform reference software implementations for each DIML
profile.
2. Framework of DIP for DIBOs to fit into.
ii. Then develop the core experiment process rules using the following rules
as a starting point:
1. People come with a DIBO they need and a reason why they need it.
2. Multiple parties commit to implement them on top of the base
platforms.
3. Then follow the core experiment process set up in MPEG-21.
4. When producing core experiment proposals, participants should
call out the level of granularity of the DIBO and referees should
comment on it.
5. Keep a best practices document for DIBOs and check new core
experiments with respect to the best practices document. If it
changes, make sure to check the impact of that change on old
DIBOs.
Actions:
 Continue to study above recommendations/proposals in BoG
 Meeting later in week with Requirements to examine progress against DIP requirements
 Create first draft of specification given progress on above

 Discussed process for selecting DII RA among four candidates
 Section proving difficult because all candidates seem capable of doing job for RA
Actions:
 Formed committee of three experts (Niels Rump, Haw KWang Kim, Paul Jessop) to evaluate
responses in m9393 and complete additional evaluation scorecard on candidates
 Those experts would report back at meeting later in week to make the final selection
Result:
 Hae Kwong Kim – recommends NCA because of strengths from “willingness”
 Paul Jessop – recommends CISAC because of JTC1 experience. Agreed with tentative
recommendation of AHG that all candidates were capable. Focussed on high-risk areas
(1,2,6)
 Niels Rump – recommends CISAC. Used AHG document/proponents answers to
questionnaire. Concentrated on risks (CISAC/NCA) and evaluation sheet (CISAC).

Software and Conformance fixing, List of Problems reported
Further work has been done in the cleanup of the video-related software problems, bug fixing is
permanently performed, and cross-checks between the newest versions of the Momusys and
Microsoft packages are running. It is planned to have all bugs as documented in the 'List of
Problems Reported' (N5549) fixed in the context of 14496-5:2001 PDAM5 (ERSSP amendment).
Further tests were made about compatiblity of existing conformance streams with software
versions, which are also documented in N5549. To fix these problems, cooperation with the M4IF is
99
sought (see M9355 and N5506). From the side of the video group, Yi-Shin Tung will take the
responsibility for this task.
Regarding the report brought on performance evaluation of QMC (M9494), it was clarified that the
approach proposed is not viable, as it would require syntax changes on existing tools. A similar
effect might well be achieved by encoder optimization.

New edition of MPEG-4 Part 2 and issues related to maintenance of 14496-2
A new edition of MPEG-4 Visual part (N5546) is in preparation, which will integrate on top of the
2001 edition Amendments 1-3 (Studio, Streaming Video, New Levels and Tools) and Corrigendum
2. In addition, a number of editorial issues brought in M9474 will be included; this is documented
in N5672. The editing period ends by April 30.
In the new version of the 'MPEG-4 Visual: List of Problems reported' (N5549), the remaining items
from M9474 were listed. The Video group asks National Bodies to consider this document which
contains a number of potential items to be clarified in a future corrigendum to 14496-2. As many of
these items require careful consideration and further discussion, National Bodies and individuals
with qualified expertise are kindly invited to provide the Video group with input which would
alleviate the formulation of such a corrigendum.

MPEG-7 related work in Pattaya
The work in MPEG-7 mainly concerned the following themes:
 Review and Approval of the Visual Ad Hoc Group Recommendations
 Inclusion of new technology into Visual Experimental Model (for version 2)
 Preparation of the conformance descriptions for version 1.
 Review of the input documents and planning of new Core Experiments for amendment 3
 Call for the MPEG-7 Visual Demos
 Review of the reports of problems with Visual version 1 specification and preparation of the
report including solutions.
 Work on MPEG-7 Profiles and Profiling mechanisms (jointly with Requirements, MDS,
Audio and Systems).
 XM software status review with ISG (for version 2).
Review and Approval of the Visual Ad Hoc Group Recommendations
All AdHoc group recommendations were approved.
VCE-1: Perceptual 3D shape descriptor
M9481 - Perceptual 3D shape descriptor: Result of core experiment
SAIT, HUFS, and SNU presented the result of database selection and categorization for evaluating
the perceptual 3D shape (P3DS) descriptor. The database consists of 540 VRML models with 42
categories, which is classified based on the subjective human perception. Work will continue to
collect more 3D models until next meeting.
Based on the new database and the proposed categorisation categorization, the proposal shows a
preliminary result of shape retrieval. The results are still unsatisfactory and more work needs to be
performed on better categorization and on the matching technique. During the ongoing core
experiment, the P3DS descriptor will be improved further to find optimal node and edge attributes
as well as the best matching technique.
VCE-2: Binary Representation of Visual Descriptors
Experimentation shown that several minor bugs exist in the BiM software, this information was forwarded to the
systems group for analysis and corrections. Some discrepancies exist between the BiM software and Visual XM
software, so full exchangeability of the BiM and Visual-binary bit-streams can’t be achieved. The recommendation is to
continue the CE with the unchanged objective to provide a complete set of results obtained with the latest version of
BiM. Additionally, this CE should also deliver conformance bit-streams.
VCE-3: Definition of a new "time-sequence" container
M9435 - Text of GoF/GoP Feature of Edge Histogram
M9516 - Report of the Core Experiment of Definition and use of a new “TimeSequence" data
container (VCE-3)
Experiments were performed on the “time sequence container” with homogeneous texture descriptor and shown correct
functioning. However, it was decided that the database should be extended to include more “moving textures”. The CE
will continue in the context of homogeneous texture and other descriptors that have not been yet tested.

VCE-4: Description schemes for the visual tools
M9501 Report on VCE-4: Visual DS framework
A detailed study of the impact of the proposed DS framework on Visual and MDS structures was performed and several
modifications to MDS structures were proposed. In addition, some modifications to visual tools were proposed – with 3
basic DS’s now in the Visual DS framework.
The group felt that proposed framework was sound and that discussions with the MDS group should
start to agree on the necessary changes in the MDS structures.

3 Core Experiments were approved for continuation and one new created (see below).
Promotion of technology into Visual PDAM (for version 2)
 Time-sequence container in conjunction with Edge Histogram layout
 Advanced Face Recognition
 GOP-GOF-Feature
Review of the input documents and planning of new Core Experiments for version 3
4 Core experiments are defined (N5556):
 VCE-1: Perceptual 3D Shape Descriptor
 VCE-2: Binary Representation of Visual Descriptors, including collection of conformance
descriptions.
 VCE-3: Definition and use of a new "time-sequence" container
Review of the reports of problems with Visual version 1 specification
The list of problems reported (M9504) with the current specification was reviewed. Some of the
contributions proposed fixes, which were approved by the group. A list of known problems is
maintained by Dr Cieplinski (Leszek.Cieplinski@vil.ite.mee.com), where problems can be reported
by emiail. This document is public in order to help people currently implementing the visual
specification.
Review of the remaining input documents
Proposals for the database extensions and some new experimental results for the 3D perceptual
shape descriptor were presented. There were two different proposals regarding the database
structure and categorisation, which were discussed during the meeting and a single merged and
coherent categorisation was agreed. It will be used in the CE.
New proposal regarding 3D face descriptor was presented, but the results were not sufficiently
advanced to merit start of a new CE. The participants are encouraged to perform more experiments
are present more results.

Explorations
Scalable Video Coding
The main activity in Scalable Video Coding was the finalization of the Call for Evidence on
Scalable Video Coding Advances (N5569). The Call is due for the July meeting, test materials will
be made available to prospective proponents shortly after the meeting. As an outcome of the Call, it
is expected that proponents are able to show that new scalable video coding technology exists
which is able to overcome the previous limitations, in particular that scalability and good
compression performance are not contradicting properties and that different dimensions of
scalability can be much more flexibly combined than in available standard solutions. Results will be
first reviewed in a 2-day AHG meeting before the Trondheim meeting, and further be analysed
during the 65th meeting.
A set of mandatory tests is related to proofs of the free combination of spatial/temporal/SNR
scalability, while retaining high coding efficiency. Anchors to be compared against are AVC based
on the stable version of JM4.2, and ASP+FGS/FGST, most probably based on Visual reference
software. The spatial scalability will be over two levels (SD/SIF/QSIF), temporal scalability as well
(30/15/7.5 fps). Range of rates is between 64 kbit/s and 6 Mbit/s. Scalable proposals shall only
encode once, and decode all results from cropped streams, while the AVC anchors will be encoded
at each individual rate and resolution, the ASP+FGS/FGST anchors once at each spatial resolution.
In addition, a non-mandatory test was designed in the context of the MPEG-21 multimedia test bed.
This will be performed in comparison against ASP+FGS/FGST decoded anchors under dynamically
varying network conditions. Other optional tests are to show advantages of more flexible
combinations of temporal/spatial/SNR scalability and show performance with finer rate-granularity
than in mandatory set of conditions.
A new version of the Applications and Requirements document (N5540) was produced jointly with
the Requirements group. In particular, requirements for surveillance applications were added.
More technical input was reviewed, related to
– FGS and spatial scalability with AVC base layer;
– Spatial scalability with reversed-order spatio-temporal MC wavelet coder;
– Multiple description aspects of scalable streams (e.g. combination with channel diversity);
– MC wavelet coder for flexible encoding of interlaced material, including interlace/progressive
scalability.
This that still continuous progress is made in the new scalable coding technology available.
Nevertheless, all Exploration Experiments were terminated, as the next step is to analyze the
evidence which will be brought as response to the Call.

3D AV Coding
In 3D AV coding, the following Exploration Experiments were performed until the Pattaya
meeting:
 EE1 – Evaluation of usage of mesh objects for omni-directional video
 EE2 – Free viewpoint video
 EE4 – Depth/disparity coding for 3D-TV
Technical input was received on EE1 and EE4, while for EE2 new achievements in production of
video test materials (16 cameras with plans to go up to 100) were reported. Participants in EE2 have
indicated that they are preparing to bring major contributions on this basis to the next meeting.
For EE1, it was concluded that the best method for data representation of the multiple-view patches
is the isocahedron. The approach taken might be realizable with existing MPEG-4 tools, when a
new level for the Core Profile would be defined. An exact specification for this is expected by the
next meeting, such that this experiment could be terminated afterwards. To define a new level,
relevant industry support must be shown for the proposed application.
In EE4, new results were presented on simple viewpoint adaptation approaches based on stereo
video and depth information, where however only one (monoscopic) signal should be transmitted,
and stereoscopic reconstruction be made by the depth map. This would allow compatible
stereoscopic applications in the context of existing (MPEG-2) broadcast. In this context, it is still
necessary to identify issues of transport over MPEG-2 streams until the next meeting. Most
probably, no new normative elements if MPEG-4 Visual is used for disparity encoding. Also, a
proposal was made to use AVC for the compression of the depth map, where however it is unclear
yet whether this would require new syntax and semantics definitions. It is also planned to terminate
this experiment by the next meeting, after these clarifications have been made.
For EE1 and EE4, it was planned to integrate the investigated technology with MPEG-4 compliant
software. This activity has however been stalled, as further clarifications are necessary about the
licensing status of the available compliant MPEG-4 viewers.
In order to not further delay the plans for a "promotional" CD or DVD on 3DAV that were made in
Awaji, it was decided to produce a first version of this item until the next meeting, most probably
on the basis of proprietary software. This has been made a mandatory task under the activity of
exploration experiments in a new EE5.
The technology investigated in EE2 (Free viewpoint video) requires potentially major new
definitions not existing in any MPEG standard so far. It is still further necessary to explore the
benefits of generic approach for viewpoint adaptation from an arbitrary number of camera views in
the continuation of this experiment. Progress has been made in definition of a unique test data set;
ongoing definition of quality measures is also an important goal of the experiments. A new version
of the Applications and Requirements document (N5539) was produced jointly with the
Requirements group.
Test material for 3DAV is made available from the NIST ftp site, using the usual MPEG login and
password.

MPEG-4 Extensions
Schuyler Quackenbush presented m9490, Report on MPEG-4 Audio Bandwidth Extension
Verification Test. Test results showed that the Bandwidth Extension Technology satisfied all
acceptance criteria specified at the start of the standardization process.
Werner Oomen presented m9531, Response to 'Call for Information and Interest on Lossless Audio
Coding for Oversampled One-Bit Representations'. This was an excellent tutorial on SACD, DST
and DSD technology. Salient points were:
 SACD (Super Audio Compact Disk) is a two-layer digital media disk, the first layer being in
convention 2-channel CD format (470 MB), the second being a new format with 4.38 GB
capacity that is used to store a 5 or 6-channel signal.
 DSD (Direct Stream Digital) – the multiplexed, 64-times oversampled 1-bit audio signal, as
from a sigma-delta A/D converter. This signal format supports an audio bandwidth of up to
100 kHz, SNR of up to 120 dB at a data rate of 2.8 Mbit/sec.
 DST (Direct Stream Transfer) – a losslessly compressed version of DSD, achieving a
compression ratio of approximately 2.3:1
A bit of arithmetic confirms that in order to fit a 74-minute DSD (stereo and 5 channel) signal onto
a SACD, one needs a compression algorithm yielding a compression ratio of approximately 2.3.
Philips is willing to submit
 Definition of DSD
 Test material
 Specification of DST compression algorithm
It should be noted that Philips has placed two restrictions on the technology they submitted in the
response, as indicated in the following text extracted from m9531:
 Since Direct Stream Transfer is already used in the SACD application, we strongly
recommend that the DST specification as is, will at least become a mode in the possible
forthcoming MPEG specification.
 “Philips hereby declares that it is prepared to license its patents, both granted and pending,
which are necessary to manufacture, use, and sell implementations of the proposed DST
Technology for Lossless Audio Coding for Oversampled One-Bit Representations on
reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions, provided that Philips may decide
not to license such patents for applications which are likely to be used to make or play back
a pirated recording.”
ISO will investigate whether these terms can be accommodated in the standardization process.
Received national body comments and liaison matters
Kate Grant, Nine Tiles, presented a liaison document from IEC, m9390, Common Control Interface for digital audio
and video products on asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network. She requested that Audio experts read m9390 and
comment, particularly with respect to how to support the desired control and status functionality via MPEG-7 metadata
and/or MPEG-21 DIA.
Joint Meetings
With Requirements on MPEG-4 Lossless Audio
The Requirements Chair urged the Audio Subgroup to use the Use Case Scenario document to
guide the work on lossless coding. He agreed with the Audio proposal to have separate architectures
to focus on the following objectives:
 lossless compression
 scalable lossy to lossless compression
109
and that any new scalable tools should be better than those already incorporated into MPEG-4.
With Requirements on MPEG-4 AAC and High-Efficiency AAC Profiles
The AAC and High Efficiency AAC profiles in ISO/IEC 14496-3:2001/FDAM 1 were reviewed.
There was discussion on the advantages of profiles with targeted scope that address current market
needs, and also of profiles with additional tools that maximize interoperability. Although the
Requirements Chair has always stated that interoperability is a paramount goal of standardization,
there was neither consensus among Audio experts nor ballot comments to support adding additional
audio coding tools to the two profiles.
With Systems on MPEG-7 Audio – Joerg Bitzer
 Results of CE towards BiM extension (m9567) were discussed:
o Optimal (non-uniform) quantization improves the representation of Audio LLDs at
low bit rates (e.g. < 8 bit)
o But: existent basic scalar codec implementation in BiM is not extensible towards a
non-uniform encoding mechanism that sufficiently fulfils the needs of several Audio
LLDs (vector quantizer needed)
 new CE proposed
o investigate:
 either a vector quantizer can be implemented within current BiM
 or BiM extension needed
With MDS and Systems on Extensibility of MPEG-7 – Joerg Bitzer
During the meeting some problems has been addressed concerning the problem of extensibility and versioning of
MPEG7 version 1. All groups agreed that further work is necessary during the next AdHoc period. This decision leads
to the delay of the promotion of Amendment 1 from FPDAM to FDAM.
With MDS on MPEG-21: Audio DIA – Anthony Vetro
 m9454: Extension of AdaptationQoS to support Audio
o Propose several audio-related adaptation operators
o Demo that shows trade-off between channel dropping and FGS layers
o Adopted to AM / CE Workplan was defined among participants
o The CE workplan was approved by Audio. MDS will monitor the CE progress

m9529: gBSDL with MPEG-4 Audio BSAC
o Propose parameter for gBSD that is an input to the adaptation process
o Seems to fit best with objectives of BSD-Linking tool rather than in gBSD
o This issue will be discussed further in the BoG
o Current changes in the DIA framework allow alternative solutions. These will be
evaluated during the AhG period.

m9590: Ext of Terminal Capabilities to support various frequencies of audio
o Propose to add two attributes to AudioOutputCapabilitiesType: samplingFrequency
and bitsPerSample
o Adopt minor revisions to Study of CD

m9591: Proposal for binaural recording of audio
o Propose to add one attribute to AudioOutputCapabilitiesType: headphoneMonitoring
o Propose to add two elements to AudioPresentationPreferencesType:


CE results were reviewed, but attendance was sparse
Syntax and semantics of proposed tools are okay from MDS side
Recommend that Audio review the results and provide a recommendation to MDS
This was reviewed again in Audio and ???
Since this tool has been under investigation for several meetings, it is reasonable to
recommend that it be adopted to the Study of CD if the Audio group is confident that
the technology is useful
m9579: Perceptually based DIA descriptor for acoustic compensation
o This is a new proposal that requires Audio people expertise, however attendance
became too sparse, so this was not reviewed in this session
o From the document, this proposal is still in the very early stage
o Recommend that Audio group review the contribution
o This was reviewed again in Audio and ???
o Consider establishing a CE workplan if deemed appropriate
o If a workplan is established, this is purely an Audio issue at this stage, so it should be
approved and monitored by Audio as with the Soundfield CE
Task group discussions
MPEG-1/2 Layer III
Schuyler Quackenbush presented m9492 (Proposed MP3 Codepoint). Bernhard Grill presented
m9558 (MPEG-1/2 Audio Layer 3 Multichannel Encoding using MPEG-4 Syntax). The first
contribution was a subset of the second, the second being a method to carry stereo or multi-channel
Layer III bitstreams in MPEG-4 Systems (e.g. MPEG-4 File Format). Werner Oomen noted that
this method is generic for MPEG-1 and -2 and so could also support Layers I and II.
In cooperation with the Integration group, WD of ISO/IEC ISO/IEC 13818-4 AMD 4 (New Lay 3
LSF bitstreams) [N5633] and Text of ISO/IEC 13818-5:1997/Amd.1-1999/DCor.2 (Lay 3 Refsoft
corrections) [N5634] were prepared.
MPEG-2 Audio Conformance, MPEG-4 Audio Text, MPEG-4 Audio Conformance – Ralph
Sperschneider
The status of submission and cross-check of MPEG-4 conformance streams were reviewed. It was
noted that the conformance streams for SASBF and General Midi are missing. The Audio chair
volunteered to follow-up on this issue. In cooperation with the Integration group, the WD of Second
Edition on MPEG-2 Part-4 (ISO/IEC 13818-4:2003) [N56532] was prepared. The editing of the
proposed ISO/IEC 14496-3:2003 (3rd edition) was continued.
MPEG-4 Extension 1, BWE (FDAM 03/03), BWE Signaling (FPDAM 03/03)
Kristofer Kjörling presented m9536 Signaling, single/dual rate, and downsampling capabilities
within SBR. This presented various issues involving Bandwidth Extension, including:
 adding level to High Efficiency profile to support running the AAC core at same rate as
SBR tool.
 Adding “convenience bits” to advise decoder on best operating mode. They would indicate
that SBR data was actually present (hence requiring upsampling) and that under certain
circumstances a decoder must decode the AAC+SBR signal and not the just the AAC core
signal.
There was consensus on the functionality supported by the new level 3, but there was not yet
agreement on how to harmonize this with the levels in the AAC profile.
Marc Klein Middelink and Pierrick Phillipe questioned the need for the convenience bits, as this
information would be implicitly available by parsing the SBR data.
Summary of outstanding issues:
 add down-sampling (consensus)
111






remove single-rate (consensus)
add new level to High Efficiency profile (more discussion)
do not support a two-stream solution (more discussion)
keep hierarchical signalling (more discussion)
introduce SBRextension bits in the audioSpecificConfig() (more discussion)
consider re-ordering of the FIL elements in the AAC stream (more discussion)
With respect to signaling of SBR data in the AudioSpecificConfig(), the group reached consensus after extensive
discussions. The final method is a combination of the hierarchical signaling (initial CT proposal) and the two descriptor
proposal by Philips. The hierarchical signaling can be applied in existing systems (e.g. LATM) in which no length
indication is available for AudioSpecificConfig(). However in case backward compatible signaling is required, the two
descriptor approach needs to be used. Note that the second descriptor is appended to the existing
AudioSpecificConfig(), which therefore requires a length indication in order to guarantee backward compatibility.
Bernhard Grill, Ralph Sperschneider, FhG, made a presentation on “UDP-Light” which is a modification to the IP
protocol that can be used to great advantage with MPEG-4 Error Resilient AAC. UDP-Light is a IETF draft proposal
that permits IP packet-based networks to deliver packets that have correct headers but errored payloads, in which case
the MPEG-4 ER tools can typically decode most bits in the errored payload. This is most applicable to wireless IP
networks in which packets will be delivered within the timeout limits but may contain individual errored bytes.
Chuck, TI, comments that most new applications are audiovisual, such that audio-only integrated
error treatments are of limited value.
The profiles issue will be revisited later in the week with consideration of balancing interoperability
(i.e. market share per profile) and implementation cost for (perhaps) unused features.
MPEG-4 Extension 2, Parametric Coding
Werner Oomen presented m9523, Support for tempo and pitch scaling for MPEG-4 Audio
Extension 2 (Parametric coding for High Quality Audio), m9525, Evidence supporting m9213 and
m9214, MPEG-4 Audio Extension 2 (Parametric coding for High Quality Audio) and m9527,
Proposed editorial Changes to RM3 of MPEG-4 Audio Extension 2, (Parametric coding for High
Quality Audio). These documented that the Extension 2 RM3 has been updated to support
decoding of a stereo base layer and dynamic update of decoder parameters. It also proposed
editorial changes to a Study on PDAM, which were accepted by the Audio Subgroup. The final
contribution showed how Extension 2 technology supports inherent decoder-parameter-based tempo
and pitch scaling of the output signal.
MPEG-4 Extension 3, Lossless Coding
There was not enough time to present the following contributions in Sunday’s Lossless Audio Coding AhG, so there
were presented in Audio plenary.
m9528, Waseda-TOA experiments on evaluating M/S coding for Lossless Audio Coding
m9569, Conformance Issues for Lossless Audio Coding
m9570, Robustness Issues for Proposed Scalable Lossless Audio Codec
m9571, Information on Improvements for Proposed Scalable Lossless Audio Codec
m9572, Comments on Evaluation Metrics for Lossless Coding Proposals
m9573, Improvements of the TUB Lossless Audio Codec
m9600, Improvement on Proposed Lossless Audio Coder
Ralf Geiger, FhG, presented m9569, Conformance Issues for Lossless Audio Coding. Covers
issues of robustness of possible lossless compression architectures to differences in software
implementation and possibly platforms. Specifically, it shows that different implementations of
conformant AAC decoders can produce outputs that differ by 1 lsb value or more. Integer versions
of AAC decoders alleviate this problem
Yuriy Reznik, RealNetworks questioned whether AAC is the right algorithm for such lossless
compression tasks, since one must have bit-exact decoders, whether in the time or frequency
domain.
112
Jim Johnston, Microsoft, noted that the CfP does not require AAC as the core lossy coder, only that it be a conformant
MPEG-4 audio coder.
Ralf Geiger, FhG, presented m9570, Robustness Issues for Proposed Scalable Lossless Audio Codec. Tested FhG-AAC
submission on x86/Linux and Sparc/Solaris platforms, and verified lossless decoding using CompAudio. It verifies that
32-bit integer arithmetic is sufficient for lossless compression on various platforms. It observes that there may be a
benefit of turning off or not implementing some AAC tools in the deterministic AAC decoder when the objective is
only lossless coding.
Takehiro Moriya, NTT, noted that one could combine a deterministic “AAC decoder” with timedomain lossless compression. It would be interesting to know if such a deterministic AAC decoder
could be compliant.
Ralf Geiger, FhG, presented m9572, Comments on Evaluation Metrics for Lossless Coding
Proposals. This notes that AAC-core-based algorithms permit random access on an AAC block
boundary, which is 1024 samples. It also notes that not all sampling rate and word length
combinations are meaningful in the marketplace. Specifically, 24-bit word lengths are likely more
meaningful moving forward, although 48/16 is an important legacy format.
Yuriy Reznik, RealNetworks commented that access granularity might be better specified as a time
interval as opposed to a fixed number of samples. Noiseless block codes have compression
inversely proportional to the code block length, so 1024 may not be the best choice. Longer could
be better.
Richard Gooch, IFPI, volunteered to poll industry to find out exactly which Fs/Wd combinations
are most commonly used.
Tilman Liebchen, TUB, presented m9573 Improvements of the TUB Lossless Audio Codec. He achieved 1% better
performance with 50% higher codec complexity.
Rongshan Yu, I2R, presented m9600 Improvement on Proposed Lossless Audio Coder. He reported
approximately 0.5% performance improvement via modifications of the bit-plane noiseless
compression.
Ralf Geiger, FhG, presented m9571 Information on Improvements for Proposed Scalable Lossless
Audio Codec. Improvements were achieved by reducing the number of Givens rotations in the
IntMDCT, which leads to a better approximation to the MDCT and to a lower computational
complexity. Overall compression performance improved approximately 1 % and computational
complexity of IntMDCT was reduced by approximately 30%.
MPEG-7 Ext 1, Conformance and Reference Software Ext 1 (FDAM 03/03) – Joerg Bitzer
The task group reviewed input documents. The group agreed that the CE on Lattice Compression
was successful and that this technology should go into future amendments. Furthermore, the status
of the conformance description and of the XM-software were reviewed in detail. Some minor
inconsistencies between the software and the text of standard have been found. The group decided
to publicize a new proposed corrigenda on the MERL ftp-site to give users a chance to understand
the issues in more detail.
The task group responded to NB Comments and produced a DoC. All NB Comments has been
considered and the group agreed on accepting all with minor changes of the proposed solutions. All
changes have been presented to representatives of the NB and they agreed on the final solution. So,
we expect that they will change their vote to yes. However, during the meeting a major problem in
terms of the extensibility of the schema has been found. This issue was addressed and the group
decided to delay the final promotion to the next meeting, in order to have more time to found a
suitable solution in cooperation with the MDS and Systems group. Therefore, the final FDAM text
and the DoC are not approved and will not appear as output documents.

MPEG-2 Conformance
m9399 (Status of MPEG-4 Audio Conformance) and m9424 (Second Edition on MPEG-2 Part-4) were presented
shortly for information after their presentation to the Audio group. It was requested that video
experts and systems experts have a look at the second edition.
The working draft of IPMP of MPEG-2 Conformance was presented and looked in a very good
shape.
MPEG-2 Reference Software
m9513 (Core Code of MPEG-2 IPMP Reference Software) was presented. It is based on MPEG-2 software that
will be released with the ISO copyright but is not the original MPEG-2 reference software.
There is new reference software for MPEG-2 Layer 3, which will be a COR to the last amendment
to the TR.
MPEG-4 Conformance (14496-4)
m9446 (MOSES implementation of MPEG-4 IPMP Messages) was presented. It contains
conformance tools and sequences for MPEG-4 IPMP.
m9542 (FlexMux conformance) was presented : this document is to be folded into the ISO/IEC 14496-4/FPDAM4
before its approval in Trondheim.
MPEG-4 Reference Software (14496-5)
m9446 (MOSES implementation of MPEG-4 IPMP Messages) is also relevant to Reference
Software. The software is very well documented.
m9543 (IM1 coherent integration) is really a document about the Flexmux reference software within IM1:
values assigned in the text and in the software were incoherent, and have been fixed. A new version
of the software, aligned with the text, is available and will be folded into ISO/IEC 144965:2002/FPDAM4.
MPEG-21 Reference Software
m9475 (Working Draft of ISO/IEC TR21000-12 Resource Delivery Test Bed) was presented. It documents the
released software. There is a request for help for the IPMP part of the framework.
m9451 (Incorporation of FGS Audio into MPEG Multimedia test bed) was presented : the good
news is that audio is now included in the test bed ; the less good news is that the audio extension is
based on the previous version of the test bed, and needs integration into the current test bed. It will
be integrated in the version on the test bed site as soon as possible (maybe 2 months).

2 Ad Hoc reports
 m9382 - AHG Report on AVC Verification Test
o Presented the Report.
o For selection of test sequences a preliminary coding of HD sequences was done
at a fixed bitrate (8 Mbit/s).
o Decided to add 1080p as format to be tested
o Due to the delay of FDIS for AVC schedule for the verification tests was shifted
from July to October
o Displays to be used for HD testing were discussed. DVD-Forum is testing with 3
different display types. To keep the test manageable only one display type should
be used. Decision about what kind of display to be used was deferred, as there
was no clear recommendation from the experts and as this also depends on the
facilities available at the test site.
o Some more sequences for the test were made available by Teracom/SVT and
Polycom
o FUB volunteers for MD and SD tests, NIST volunteers for SD and HD tests.
o Recommendations of the AHG:
 Adopt revised schedule
 Complete selection of test sequences
 Review test plan
 Start discussion about logistics
 m9701 - AHG on Production of Video Test Sequences
o Two more sequences donated by Teracom/SVT
o Sequences available via anonymous ftp at ftp://ftp.ldv.e-technik.tumuenchen.de/pub/test_sequences/
o Suggestion to have one common copyright statement was made
o Toolset for conversion between different yuv formats complete
Comment: this AhG will not be renewed any longer.
Work items during the week
-
Output document for the AVC Verification Test Plan
 Version 1.0, public document
 Fixed coding conditions
Major changes:
o Pre-processing allowed
o 1080p added as format to be tested
o Coded files have to match a certain and have to be conforming with buffer
constraints, but not to a certain bit rate.
 Test sequences for all resolutions/scanning standards were selected
o Proposed HD sequences coded at 8 Mbit/s were demonstrated
o Test sequences will be available at Hannover ftp server
132





o Set contains 14 different sequences (10 for main at different resolutions, 4 for
baseline)
Demografx will provide pre-processed sequences for testing AVC codec
Two points of comparison for AVC – MPEG-2: MPEG-2 “High Quality” encoders (e.g.
encoders used for broadcast) and MPEG-2 TM-5
A “dropbox” will be installed to allow contributors to anonymously deliver their
bitstreams. This was the result of discussion about anonymity issues brought up by some
proponents.
AVC coded streams will not be produced using the reference software but commercial
available encoders. Proponents believe that they will not be aible to deliver AVC coded
bitstreams before early October.
Suggestion to shift the schedule from October to December due to the availability of
AVC coded bitstreams.
-
CFE on SVC
 Revied CFE on SVC
 Results of this CFE and experiences from this test will be used to refine test conditions
for SVC
 To allow many parties to contribute in this CFE it was decided not to include HD
material in full resolution but to use only a cropped part from the sequence to maintain
the characteristics (high detail) of a HD picture.
-
Test Material
 Text for one common copyright statement will be presented as an input document to the
65th meeting.
“Individuals and organizations extracting sequences from this archive agree that the
sequences and all intellectual property rights therein remain the property of <Company>.
These sequences may only be used for the purpose of developing, testing promulgating and
promoting technology standards. <Company> makes no warranties with respect to the
materials and expressly disclaim any warranties regarding their fitness for any purpose.”

Detailed Report
Reference hardware description for MPEG-4
The MPEG-4 part 9 “Reference hardware description phase 1” has reached the status of DTR at
Pattaya meeting. The document, approved by the group, will be available by the end of March after
a short editing period.
The activities for the development of phase 2 has proceeded with consistent progress, the
functionality of the validation platform (a laptop PC + PCMCIA card including the configurable
HW module) has been evaluated. The optimized reference software is currently integrated in the
validation platform and communication test with the HW platform have been successful. Next step
is the porting of the modules of Part 9 on the configurable hardware platform. This phase will also
be a validation of the definition of the virtual socket proposed in part resolutions. Only the
integration of at least 3 or 4 modules will enable the group to proceed with the specification of such
module.
The ad-hoc group on the development of MPEG-4 Part 9 has been re-established with the usual
mandates, including the schedule for 4 telephone conferences before next meeting.
Complexity analysis for AVC and SVC activities
Two contributions were reviewed presenting methodologies and results for appropriate complexity
evaluations of video compression algorithms. Contribution M9562 shows how a bad specification
of the interface of two well known functional blocks such as the DWT and Entropy coding can lead
to very inefficient implementations without any other advantage. The goals and methodology for
the analysis of a complete system that includes data dependencies has been presented to the video
group for the future activities on the definition of SVC technology.
A contribution M9533 reported some results of the analysis of different configurations of the AVC
codec. The contributions included an analysis tool description and the data exploration technology.
MPEG-7 reference software
The inclusion of new descriptors and some modifications of the software to solve interfacing
problems has lead to the approval of a new amendment for MPEG-7 Part 6.
Resolutions
The above activities have led to the following resolutions and output document approval.
