Overview
ISO/IEC 14496-5:2001/Amd 3:2003 is an amendment to Part 5 (Reference software) of the ISO/IEC 14496 family (Coding of audio‑visual objects). Published 2003‑12‑01, Amendment 3: Visual new level and tools updates the visual reference software listings and visual encoding software entries. The amendment replaces Clause 4 and Annex A.2 to document the locations and contents of reference implementations for visual coding tools and codecs.
Key topics
- Visual reference software listings: The amendment enumerates available reference decoders and encoders, including implementation languages (C, C++) and component names.
- Reference implementations for multiple visual tools:
- Natural video decoders/encoders (C, C++)
- Face-and-body animation (FBA/FAP) encoder and decoder
- 3D mesh encoder/decoder
- DCT‑based FAP encoder/decoder
- FIT encoder/decoder
- 2D dynamic mesh (Mesh2D) encoding/decoding
- View‑dependent texture (rockwell_vds2) with back channel
- Visual Texture encoder (vtc update)
- Software locations and integration notes: The amendment replaces specific clauses to provide authoritative pointers to reference software locations and brief content descriptions for conformance and implementation reference.
- Languages and integration: Reference code appears in C and C++ variants and includes examples integrated by third parties (e.g., Samsung).
Applications
- Implementer guidance: Developers building compliant audio‑visual codecs or players use the reference software to understand expected bitstream handling and algorithm behavior.
- Interoperability and conformance testing: Test labs and quality assurance teams use these reference implementations as baselines for interoperability checks and conformance verification.
- Research and prototyping: Academic and industrial researchers leverage the code for prototyping new tools, comparative studies, or adapting algorithms to new media formats.
- Product development: Multimedia software vendors and hardware codec teams use reference encoders/decoders as starting points for optimized production implementations.
Who should use this standard
- Codec implementers and multimedia software engineers
- Test laboratories and standards conformance bodies
- Researchers in video, animation, 3D mesh and texture coding
- Companies integrating visual tools (face/body animation, mesh-based rendering) into applications
Related standards
- ISO/IEC 14496 (other parts) - the broader series addressing coding of audio‑visual objects, of which Part 5 is the reference software component.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of
ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC
technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information
technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
