11、8(E) ISO/IEC 2008 All rights reserved iiiForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development

12、of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in

13、 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, ISO/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

14、 technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attentio

15、n is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

17、AMENDMENT 29: Symbolic Music Representation conformance In Clause 2 “Normative references” add: ISO/IEC 14496-23:2008, Information technology Coding of audio-visual objects Part 23: Symbolic Music Representation Add a new Clause 11 “Symbolic Music Representation”: 11 Symbolic Music Representation 11

18、.1 General This clause specifies how tests can be designed to verify whether bitstreams and decoders meet requirements specified in ISO/IEC 14496-23. In this part of ISO/IEC 14496, encoders are not addressed specifically. An encoder may be said to be an ISO/IEC 14496-23 encoder if it generates bitst

19、reams compliant with the syntactic and semantic bitstream requirements specified in ISO/IEC 14496-23. Procedures are described for testing conformance of bitstreams and decoders to the requirements defined in ISO/IEC 14496-23. Given the set of characteristics claimed, the requirements that must be m

20、et are fully determined by ISO/IEC 14496-23. This clause summarizes the requirements; cross references them to characteristics, and defines how conformance with them can be tested. Guidelines are given on constructing tests to verify bitstream and decoder conformance. In addition, some test bitstrea

21、ms implemented according to those guidelines are provided as an electronic annex. Symbolic Music Representation (SMR) objects allow modeling the visual aspects of a music score, and audio information or annotations related to the music piece. SMR includes the definition of XML schemas (for represent

22、ing music symbols composing the music score and describing the rules to be used for placement of music symbols) and additional binary information (for presenting the music score synchronously with a multimedia scene). This clause describes criteria to test SMR Conformance for bitstreams and decoders

23、. 11.2 SMR Conformance testing 11.2.1 AudioSpecificConfig characteristics The bitstream provider may apply restrictions to the following parameters of the AudioSpecificConfig: 1) audioObjectType: AOT 40 (uncompressed/Gzip-ed XML) or AOT 41 (BiM encoded XML) 2) numberOfParts: the number of parts comp

24、osing the score 3) notationFormat: can be CWMN, BRAILLE, SPOKENMUSIC, OTHER 4) codingType: can be XML, GZIP, BIM Amendment 29:2009 toCAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 14496-4-06ISO/IEC 14496-4:2004/Amd.29:2008(E) 2 ISO/IEC 2008 All rights reservedAccessUnit characteristics The bitstream provider may apply no restrict

25、ions to any parameters of the bitstream 11.2.2 Procedure to test Bitstream Conformance According to the restriction on the codingType field, the decoder shall be tested first for the exact bitstream decoding from binary format to the corresponding xml files. The Conformance Bitstreams described late

26、r shall be decoded using the codingType(s) supported by the decoder under test. To be called an ISO/IEC 14496-23 SMR decoder, the decoder shall provide an output where xml information (SM-XL, SM-FL) is identical to the reference file provided by ISO for the same bitstream. Please note that a decoder

27、, for efficiency or other reason, may be implemented in a way that a textual xml representation is not necessary to process information. Nevertheless, for testing purposes, a textual xml file dumping is required. 11.2.3 Decoder characteristics and computational complexity The SMR Decoder, after havi

28、ng decoded the binary stream, produces a corresponding rendering (graphics, audio or other) and periodically refreshes it according to dynamic updates that may come from access units or user interaction (through the MusicScore node). A very few points in the decoding process may need a meaningful am

29、ount of computing resources (both CPU and/or memory) according to the specific implementation: the generation of a view, and some of the most typical updates (transposition, jump to, etc.). Possible features which may be used to characterize from this point of view the complexity of a bitstream are:

30、 the number of symbols present for a certain unit of time, the number of dynamic operations on the score (such as transposing, etc.), and memory allocation. At this time no needs were identified to define different complexity levels but in case the music industry needs them the document will be amen

31、ded. 11.3 Procedure to test SMR decoder conformance SMR Decoder conformance must be tested in terms of real-time decoding capabilities, and quality assessment of its rendering in terms of graphics, or audio when required. The rendering of a score must obey to important rules, while some additional d

32、etail belongs to the domain of subjective (or style) preferences, and then should not be assessed by conformance testing. For a more comprehensive understanding of the required formatting and rendering rules, see ISO/IEC 14496-23, Clause 11. Graphical features that shall be considered for conformanc

33、e testing are: correct vertical note/rest alignment logical articulation placement, e.g. o text and lyrics placement o no overlap of symbols necessity to display all the required symbols possible skipped (not displayed) symbols Amendment 29:2009 toCAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 14496-4-06ISO/IEC 14496-4:2004/Amd.2

34、9:2008(E) ISO/IEC 2008 All rights reserved 3To be called an ISO/IEC 14496-23 SMR decoder, the decoder shall provide an output that does not meaningfully diverges from the reference output provided by ISO for the several test bitstreams described below. Meaningful divergence means that once considere

35、d the small stylistic differences that may come from the usage of different font characters, different horizontal spacing, and different view formatting when allowed, the output rendered score still presents visually evident differences (that means, a human expert can detect them) from the reference

36、 output in terms of the features listed above. This shall be true for all test bitstreams with no exception. 11.4 Description of the SMR Conformance Bitstreams For each of the conformance bitstreams shortly described in this clause, ISO provides in form of electronic attachment the following files:

37、An mp4 file with flat xml information (stxx-xml.mp4) An mp4 file with gzip-ped xml information (stxx-gzip.mp4) An mp4 file with xml information coded through BiM (to be used when supported) (stxx-bim.mp4) Reference xml files (in directory stxx.xsm) Reference output with short description (MS Word fi

38、les in Annex) (st-xx.doc) The following conformance bitstreams are defined: st01 “Classical orchestra score”. This bitstream tests several common music symbols, and particularly acciaccaturas and rehearsal marks. st02 “Voices with lyrics and keyboard summary”. This bitstream tests several common mus

39、ic symbols, and particularly lyrics and voice crossings. st03 “Soloist”. This bitstream tests classical symbols for multiple rests, dynamics, trills, and appoggiaturas. st04 “Classical score”. This bitstream tests in particular changes of clef, ornaments with accidentals, trill, grace notes, and acc

40、iaccaturas. st05 “Romantic orchestra score”. This bitstream tests complex accidentals, complex micro-spacing, different kinds of accent, bowing, slurs in brackets, and special performance instructions. st06 “Romantic score”.

42、st08 “Jazz”. This bitstream tests jazz rhythmic section notation and the use of chord names as Symbolic Qualifiers. st09 “Big Band score”. This bitstream tests Big Band scores, including jazz chords symbols, jazz rhythmic section notation, and common jazz symbolic events. st10 “pop/rock”. This bitst

43、ream encodes a typical pop/rock music score and it is intended to tests simple guitar tablature/chord boxes/fretboard, chord names, lyrics (with word extenders), simple repeat signs, slash notation (scansion). st11 “Multiple modeling of duration 1”. In this bitstream the “visual duration” (i.e., hor

44、izontal distance) associated with each duration class symbol is not constant, and is also only distantly related to the logical meanings of the symbols. The visual durations of the symbols are related primarily to legibility considerations Amendment 29:2009 toCAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 14496-4-06ISO/IEC 14496-

45、4:2004/Amd.29:2008(E) 4 ISO/IEC 2008 All rights reservedand the visual context, including the width of the staff, the widths of the symbols, and the existence of other parallel/simultaneous symbols. st12 “Multiple modeling of duration 2”. This bitstream tests different kind of tuplets including nest

46、ed tuplets. st13 “Ordering relationships”. This bitstream tests several advanced ordering relationships for symbols. st14 “Symbolic selections”.
