With All on MPEG Vision

Rob Koenen, TNO, reviewed N15724, from the 113^th 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.
