1Overview

1. 
   The advances in the development of the MPEG-4 “Part 9 Reference Hardware Description” Phase 2 concerning the integration of the MPEG-4 Optimized Reference software Part 7 and the Reference Hardware Part 9 so as to constitute a “mixed” software hardware description of MPEG-4 video using the concept of the virtual socket.
   
2. 
   The planning and extension of supported features for the integrated framework, putting together in a single application MPEG-4 Part 9 with MPEG-7 Part 7 and AVC (MPEG-4 Part-9) software.
   

Input contributions w.r.t. the above items are summarized according to the following table:

2Detailed Report

2.1The progress in the development of the MPEG-4 “Part 9 Reference Hardware Description”

The ISG activity at the Busan meeting has mainly been devoted to:

• 
  the dissemination of information about the ISG activity for the development of Part 9 to several new comers to the ISG group that showed interest for the activity,
  
• 
  the review of the contributions presenting updated HDL module submissions,
  
• 
  the sessions held to demonstrate conformance to the standard of submitted modules
  
• 
  the review of contributions on the new proposed improvements to the API specification and implementation improvements of the “Virtual Socket”,
  
• 
  the update of MPEG-4 Part 2 and Part 10 module submission status,
  
• 
  the contributions to the call for proposals for integer DCT/IDCT and the possible answers provided by the modules submitted for Part 9
  
• 
  the editing of the second edition of the Technical Report.
  

During the meeting a large portion of the time has been devoted to review input contributions. They covered new module submissions, update of documentation of previously submitted modules and new features of the virtual socket.

Some modules for which the conformance part was missing in previous documentation submission has been updated.

According to the new submissions and the level of the documentation (including conformance or not) the table of module submission commitment has been updated and reported in a specific output document (question marks indicate that the commitment is uncertain concerning the delivery date or that the module has not been selected for a submission commitment) (output document N7122).

Two session, in which conformance of submitted modules has been demonstrated, have been held where module submitters have shown on the Wild Card II platform the execution of HW modules processing in conjunction with the reference SW.

Contribution suggesting better usage of the CVS has been discussed by the group but the main problem encountered could not be solved if a securized access to the CVS is used.

A session has been also devoted to progress in the editing of the Second edition of Part 9.

Another session has been devoted to contribute to the editing of the call for integer precision DCT implementation. A joint meeting with video group has been held to discuss such contribution and show that already some modules presents in Part 9 satisfy the requirements of the current call.

The ad-hoc schedule includes 4 telephone conferences before next meeting. It has been decide to postpone of one hour the usual time of the conference so that people from Calgary University can attend the conference. Phone conferences are planned on the 28th April, 19th May, 16th June and 21st July at 4 p.m. GMT. Tel: (from US 1-877-582-3182, from outside US 1-770-970-4161, participant code 9202060193).

2.2Contributions and synergies with the Video Coding Tool Repository activity

A joint meeting has been held with the VCTR subgroup to exchange ideas and clarify the status of Part 9 and VCTR. The main issues discussed are to clarify whether the interfaces used by Part 9 modules can be the same of the tools described by VCTR work. Part 9 second edition has been distributed to the VCTR group for continuing the analysis of the interfaces of the tools under definition. A second issue is the formalism and associated language and tools to be used to pass from what is currently a textual description of the tools to a true functional description that enables tool reconfigurability and simulations. ISG would provide for next meeting some additional information and proposals for the formalism and for the usage of an appropriate language.

The Liaisons Group considered the following input documents:

M12107	Liaison statement from DVB

As a consequence of a USNB comment to SC29, the Liaisons subgroup reviewed the list of organisations with which MPEG entertains liaisons to identify non-active Liaisons. As a result, the recommendation has been made to SC29 to terminate the Liaison relationship with 5 organisations (see below).

Furthermore, a brief presentation was given during the Liaison meeting about the DCCSDP&DCCSDC activities.

With respect to the ongoing liaison activities with WG1 on the JPSearch project, an AhG has been set up to: continue to exchange technical information on MPEG-7 tools and to discuss possible ways to organize work on items of common interests.
In addition to replying, when appropriate, to the incoming Liaison Statements, it was agreed to take the initiative to send outgoing Liaison Statements to:

• 
  IETF MMUSIC – on Session Description Protocol next generation (SDPng);
  
• 
  TC100 – on new colour spaces in video compression (this is a continuation of an interaction started during the Hong Kong meeting);
  
• 
  WG1 – on the ISO File Format; and
  
• 
  3GPP and OMA – on LASeR,
  

Finally, the responses for the non-technical National Body comments as well as the updated list of organisations with which MPEG entertains liaisons were completed.
