Overview

ISO/IEC 14496-5:2001/Amd 1:2002 is an important amendment to the international standard for coding audio-visual objects, specifically updating Part 5 which focuses on reference software for MPEG-4 technology. Published jointly by ISO and IEC, this amendment enhances the software tools that support the MPEG-4 multimedia standard, facilitating improved development, testing, and implementation of MPEG-4 encoders and decoders. It provides detailed software resources in C and C++ for various video and system components, enabling better interoperability and consistency within multimedia applications.

Key Topics

  • Reference Software for MPEG-4
    This amendment updates the suite of MPEG-4 reference software components, including decoders and encoders for natural video, face and body animation (FBA), 3D mesh, and texture coding. It ensures that developers have access to standardized, reliable implementations.

  • Visual Reference Software Updates
    New and improved implementations for natural video decoding and encoding using MoMuSys and Microsoft libraries in both C and C++ languages. Support for fine granular scalability (FGS) and studio profile enhancements is included to facilitate scalable video quality adjustments.

  • Systems Reference and Utility Software
    The amendment provides reference implementations for system-level components such as MPEG-J and MP4 file format handling, as well as utility tools like 2D renderers and file-based multiplexers to help in composing and managing multimedia streams effectively.

  • Face and Body Animation (FBA) and 3D Mesh
    Includes updated decoders and encoders for FBA, dynamic 2D mesh geometry, and 3D mesh data. These tools support advanced multimedia content involving animated characters and spatial representations.

Applications

  • Multimedia Content Development
    Software developers and multimedia engineers use this reference software to build MPEG-4 compliant applications that handle video and audio encoding and decoding efficiently.

  • Testing and Validation
    The reference implementations serve as benchmarks to validate proprietary MPEG-4 implementations, ensuring compatibility and conformance to the standard.

  • Educational and Research Use
    Researchers exploring video compression algorithms and multimedia coding can utilize the standardized source code as a foundation for experimentation and innovation.

  • Integration into Media Players and Streaming Solutions
    Enables the development of robust MPEG-4 compliant players and streaming platforms through tested decoding and rendering components.

Related Standards

  • ISO/IEC 14496 (MPEG-4 Series)
    A comprehensive set of standards for audio-visual object coding covering multiple parts including systems, video, audio, and animation.

  • ISO/IEC 14496-1 - Systems: Defines the general multimedia framework for MPEG-4.

  • ISO/IEC 14496-2 - Visual: Specifies video coding standards related to MPEG-4.

  • ISO/IEC 14496-3 - Audio: Defines MPEG-4 audio coding.

  • ISO/IEC 14496-6 - Delivery Multimedia Integration Framework: Focused on streaming and delivery.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this Amendment may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
