ISO/IEC 23001-11 specifies metadata (Green Metadata) that facilitates the reduction of energy usage during media consumption. The metadata enable means for (a) reducing decoder power consumption, (b) reducing display power consumption, (c) media selection for the joint decoder and display power reduction, and (d) quality recovery after low-power encoding. The third edition, which is currently […]

With the increasing complexity and sophistication of media services and the incurred media processing, offloading complex media processing operations to the cloud/network is becoming critically important in order to keep receiver hardware simple and power consumption low. Network-based Media Processing (“NBMP”, ISO/IEC 23090-8) addresses advanced media processing use cases such as network stitching for virtual reality

MPEG Scene Description will enable the creation of 6DoF experiences based on MPEG media. The Scene Description is usually a graph that describes the 3D space as a scene that includes audio and visual objects in that scene. The 3D objects are defined using MPEG media like still pictures, 2D videos, point clouds, light fields,

Haptics provide an additional layer of entertainment and sensory immersion beyond audio and visual media. The user experience and enjoyment of media content can be significantly enhanced by adding haptics to audio/video content, whether in ISO Base Media File Format (ISOBMFF) files or in media streams such as ATSC 3.0 broadcasts, streaming games, and mobile

The Web Tracks specification “ISO/IEC 23001-15: Carriage of Web Resource in ISOBMFF defines how to carry web resources in the ISO Base Media File Format (ISO/IEC 14496-12, or “ISOBMFF”). It also defines associated brands. (“Brands” are be used to signal compatibility to the constraints and requirements in specifications based on the ISOBMFF.) ISOBMFF specifies a

The MIAF specification is fully compliant to the High Efficiency Image File (HEIF) format, and defines additional constraints to ensure a higher level of interoperability. While the HEIF specification defines the file format and general requirements for the included coding formats, HEIF does not define specific interoperability points by which capturing devices, editing applications, storage

After doing a survey in 2016, MPEG decided to have a number of phases in providing support for immersive media. The first of these phases (“phase 1a”) was the OMAF specification which provides a specification for 3D projection methods and related metadata and signalling for “VR360”. This specification was approved in its final version in

Realizing the importance of the text component in media, MPEG has been working on standardization of font formats, in particular ISO/IEC 14496-22 Open Font Format since 2004. The standard has been widely deployed and is supported by virtually all connected devices where text is displayed on screen. In January 2020, MPEG promoted the first amendment
