Rob Koenen, TNO, reviewed N15724, from the 113th meeting, which captured the status of MPEG Vision. Many experts contributed to the discussion.
The concept of MPEG Vision is
A 5 year time horizon
Stakeholders
Industry that uses MPEG specifications
Companies and institutions that participate in MPEG
The organizations in liaison with MPEG
Establish dialog with industry, via WG11 output documents, to bring MPEG Vision to their attention for both participation and feedback
Vision topics are succinctly captured in an Annex of N15724
A next version of the MPEG Vision document could be in the following format:
Introduction
MPEG technology has enabled new markets
MP3 enabled Internet music delivery
Media compression that enabled wireless streaming media to SmartPhones
Why MPEG is uniquely able to address the emerging needs of industry (high quality technology due to internal competitive phase, rigorous conformance and reference software testing).
Emerging Trends
Increasing supply and demand of media
Social media
Mobile high-speed networking
That is always available
Broadband/Broadcast convergence
Internet of Things
Cloud computing and storage
Big Data, machine learning, search and discovery
Using above to improve customer experience (the “individual” end-user and the business application user).
Facilitating richer media authoring and presentation
Facilitating richer user to user communication
Facilitate seamless media processing chains, e.g. via Common Media Format
Issues
Security
Specific Topic Keywords (e.g. taken from aspects of Trends), followed by several sentences of exciting text. It may be desirable to also have a figure to communicate more effectively.
Each specific topic could be associated with 30 seconds of evangelizing video, to be compiled into the “MPEG Vision Video”
Specific ask to potential customers:
What are roadblocks?
What is level of interest?
When is it needed?
What will MPEG offer between now and 2020?
What can Audio experts contribute? At least a summary of emerging trends in audio and more specifically, audio compression.
