Abstract

The upcoming MPEG-4 standard provides newpossibilities for the compression and presentation of multimediacontents. The main characteristics of MPEG-4 are theobject-based coding and representation of an audio-visual sceneand the ability to code objects of natural or synthetic origin. These features will enhance existing applications with newfunctionalities and enable standardised solutions for newapplications. This paper provides an overview of the threemajor parts Systems, Visual and Audio of the new MPEG-4standard, highlights implementation aspects for some envisagedtypes of MPEG-4 terminals and describes possible futuremultimedia application scenarios using MPEG-4 functionalities.
