MPEG 4 allows for facial animation through parameters like Facial Animation Parameters (FAPs) and Facial Definition Parameters (FDPs). FAPs describe minimal perceptual actions like expressions and emotions through muscle movements. FDPs configure the 3D facial model. Facial animation in MPEG 4 is encoded with techniques like arithmetic coding for low delay and DCT coding for higher efficiency but more delay. The animation can be integrated with text-to-speech synthesis by converting phonemes and timing to FAPs. BIFS scenes are used to transmit facial animation with nodes for the face, FAPs, and FDPs to define and animate proprietary face models.
MPEG 4 is an object-based multimedia format that allows for low bitrate compression and transmission of audio-visual content such as video, speech, audio, and graphics. It supports scalable compression from mobile phone quality up to HDTV, as well as interactive capabilities. MPEG 4 compression uses various coding methods tailored to different object types and allows objects to be combined into scenes.

This document provides an overview of MPEG-2 video encoding and describes the author's implementation of an MPEG-2 video transcoder. It introduces MPEG-2 standards for digital video compression and transmission. The author then examines the MPEG-2 encoding process in detail. Finally, the document describes the author's algorithm for transcoding MPEG-2 video streams to different bit rates, and experimental results demonstrating the retained picture quality of transcoded video.
This document provides an overview of Doordarshan Kendra, the national public service broadcaster of India. It discusses the history of Doordarshan starting broadcasts in 1959. It also outlines Doordarshan's social objectives such as promoting national integration and disseminating family planning messages. Additionally, it describes the various components of a Doordarshan television studio, including cameras, lighting, microphones, switching systems and earth stations for satellite communication.
This document provides an introduction and overview of MPEG-21. MPEG-21 is an open framework for multimedia delivery and consumption that focuses on content creators and consumers. It aims to define the technology needed to support users in efficiently exchanging, accessing, consuming, trading, and manipulating digital items in an interoperable way. MPEG-21 is structured into multiple parts that cover areas like digital item declaration, identification, intellectual property management and protection, and rights expression.
The document summarizes a presentation on MPEG-21 given by Dr. Christian Timmerer. MPEG-21 aims to create an interoperable multimedia framework with three steps: understanding relationships between components, developing new specifications to fill gaps, and achieving integration of standards. A key concept is digital items, which are structured digital objects with identification and metadata. Digital items can be adapted and processed to satisfy transmission, storage, and consumption constraints.
MPEG-7 is an international standard for describing multimedia content to enable searching, filtering, and browsing of audiovisual data. It provides descriptors for features like color, texture, shape, and motion to support content-based retrieval of images and video. MPEG-7 also defines description schemes and a description definition language to create structured descriptions of multimedia content. The standard aims to facilitate searching, identifying, filtering and browsing of multimedia content through both text-based and content-based retrieval methods.
The document discusses 3D graphics compression standards. It provides an overview of MPEG's work in developing standards for compressing 3D graphics content, similar to how other standards compress video and audio. This includes MPEG-4's initial work with surfaces like Indexed Face Sets as well as later efforts involving patches and subdivision surfaces to improve compression ratios and representation of curved surfaces. The goal is to standardize a format for compressed 3D graphics to enable widespread use in applications.
This document summarizes MPEG 1 and 2 video compression standards. It explains the need for video compression due to the large data rates of uncompressed video like HDTV. MPEG compression works by predicting frames from previous frames using motion compensation and coding the residual errors. It uses I, P, and B frames along with other techniques like chroma subsampling to achieve high compression ratios like 83:1 while maintaining quality. MPEG-2 improved upon MPEG-1 by supporting higher resolutions and bitrates needed for digital television.
