Current uses:
3G mobile phones,
Portable devices, PDAs, video iPod
Interactive television / IPTV
New interactive multimedia formats
Web pages
Interactive music format
Security systems
Basics:
Object based system: using Natural
and/or Synthetic objects
Makes use of local processing power
to recreate sounds and images
This makes it one of the most efficient
compression systems
Basics:
The selected objects are put together into
a 2D or 3D scene
In 3D the viewer can change the shape of
the image and view it from other positions
in the 3D space. Similar to VRML
Each object is compressed using the best
and most optimum method for that type of
data
BIFS:
Binary Format for Scene descriptor
New description language like HTML
but written in binary not in English
Has scalable levels for audio and video
which can be set by access rights or by
interrogation of the receiver to set the
best Quality of Service (QoS)
Synchronised Streaming
Each element can be time stamped to
synchronise with other objects in the frame
Flexi Time: The viewer can vary the time
for playback
There are 3 types, set by the producer,
minimum, maximum and optimal
Audio can be set to change pitch or stay
fixed
Compression: Speech
Transients:
Castanets
Sinusoids: Harpsichord
Interactive Audio

Flash interface and compressed
audio loops
Compression: Video
Overall MPEG-4 supports a wide range of
standards from very small, poor quality,
pictures up to HDTV
MPEG 1 & 2
MPEG 4 - part 2
MPEG 4 - part 10, 'Advanced Video Coding
AVC H.264 - high quality video codec
Developed jointly by MPEG and the ITU
Compression: Video
Mixture of pixel based and vector
graphics
Video is no longer a rectangular shape, it
can be any shape
Synthetic images with bit rates from
5 kbit/sec - 10 Mbit/sec
Supports the mapping of video textures
onto moving objects and meshes
Animated Objects:
The Animation Framework eXtension, AFX
Face animation: The face models are not
part of MPEG-4 only the movement codes
for the expressions, eye movement, etc.
Body animation works in the same way
and can be used in games
Future Options:
MPEG-4 is still being developed and all
new parts will work with the old formats
Studio quality versions for HDTV
Digital cinema 45 - 240 Mbit/sec H.264
Home video cameras with MPEG-4
output straight to the web from the hard
drive

Database system to automatically define,
organise and search for text, pictures,
sound FX, graphics, video clips, songs,
music, etc.
On-line Music library
Automatic identification of music
Uses XML to store metadata
MPEG 7
Proposed uses:
Live broadcast monitoring, radio output

sound FX, film, video and radio archives
Cultural services history museums, art
galleries, etc.
MPEG 7
Home entertainment e.g., systems for the
management of personal multimedia
collections, e.g. music, home video,
searching a game, karaoke
E-Commerce e.g., personalised advertising,
on-line catalogues, directories of e-shops
Education e.g., repositories of multimedia
courses, multimedia search for support
material
MPEG 7
Investigation services e.g., human
characteristics recognition, forensics
Journalism e.g. searching speeches of
a certain politician using their name,
voice or face
Multimedia directory services e.g.
Yellow Pages, tourist information,
geographical information systems
MPEG 7
Multimedia editing e.g., personalised
electronic news service, media authoring
Social e.g. on-line dating services
Surveillance e.g., traffic control

MPEG 21
MPEG 21
An infrastructure for the delivery and
consumption of multimedia content
Users are seen as either creators,
consumers, rights holders, content
providers, or distributors
MPEG 21
Every media element is defined as a
Digital Item
Metadata defines what media we can
use, what we can do with it and who
owns it
Designed to work with MPEG 4 files
and MPEG 7 database
