National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. I

14、SO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, I

15、SO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to natio

17、ia information.

18、re Part 7: Conformance testing Part 8: Extraction and use of MPEG-7 descriptions ISO/IEC 15938-6:2003(E) ISO/IEC 2003 All rights reserved vIntroduction This International Standard, also known as “Multimedia Content Description Interface”, provides a standardized set of technologies for describing mu

19、ltimedia content. International Standard addresses a broad spectrum of multimedia applications and requirements by providing a metadata system for describing the features of multimedia content. The following are specified in this International Standard: Description schemes (DS) describe entities or

20、relationships pertaining to multimedia content. Description Schemes specify the structure and semantics of their components, which may be Description Schemes, Descriptors, or datatypes. Descriptors (D) describe features, attributes, or groups of attributes of multimedia content. Datatypes are the ba

21、sic reusable datatypes employed by Description Schemes and Descriptors. Systems tools support delivery of descriptions, multiplexing of descriptions with multimedia content, synchronization, file format, and so forth. This International Standard is subdivided into eight parts: Part 1 Systems: specif

22、ies the tools for preparing descriptions for efficient transport and storage, compressing descriptions, and allowing synchronization between content and descriptions. Part 2 Description definition language: specifies the language for defining the standard set of description tools (DSs, Ds, and datat

23、ypes) and for defining new description tools. Part 3 Visual: specifies the description tools pertaining to visual content. Part 4 Audio: specifies the description tools pertaining to audio content. Part 5 Multimedia description schemes: specifies the generic description tools pertaining to multimedi

24、a including audio and visual content. Part 6 Reference software: provides a software implementation of the standard. Part 7 Conformance testing: specifies the guidelines and procedures for testing conformance of implementations of the standard. Part 8 Extraction and use of MPEG-7 descriptions: provi

25、des guidelines and examples of the extraction and use of descriptions. This part of ISO/IEC 15938 contains simulation software for tools defined in parts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of ISO/IEC 15938. This software has been derived from the verification models used in the process of developing the International

26、 Standard. Where multimedia content extraction or multimedia content description software is provided, attention is called to the fact that these software modules are provided for the purpose of creating bit streams of descriptors and description schemes with normative syntax. The performance of the

27、se software tools should not be taken as indicative of that which can be obtained from implementations where quality and computational optimization are given priority. The techniques used for extracting descriptors or deriving description schemes are not specified by this document. This information

28、can be found in the corresponding sections of part 1-5.

29、 bit streams. This International Standard provides a specific implementation that behaves in a conformant manner. In general, other implementations that conform to ISO/IEC 15938 are possible that do not necessarily use the algorithms or the programming techniques of the reference software. The softw

30、are contained in this part of ISO/IEC 15938 is known as experimentation software (XM) and is divided into five categories: a) Binary format for MPEG-7 (BiM). This software converts DDL (XML) based descriptions to the Binary format of MPEG-7 and vice versa as explained in Clause 5 of this document. b

31、) DDL parser and DDL validation parser. The components of this software module are specified in Clause 6 of this document. c) Visual descriptors. This software creates standard visual descriptions from associated (visual) media content as explained in Clause 7 of this document. The techniques used f

32、or extracting descriptors are informative, and the quality and complexity of these extraction tools has not been optimized. d) Audio descriptors. This software creates standard descriptions from associated (audio) media content as explained in Clause 8 of this document. The techniques used for extra

33、cting descriptors are informative, and the quality and complexity of these extraction tools has not been optimized. e) Multimedia description schemes. This software modules provide standard descriptions of Multimedia Description Schemes as specified in Clause 9 of this document. 2 Symbols and abbrev
