MPEG Spectral Band Replication (SBR) is the newest compression technology available as part of the MPEG standards. It is combined with MPEG Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) and improves coding efficiency by more than 30%. The resulting scheme is called High-Efficiency AAC (HE AAC). This presentation explains MPEG SBR and its integration into the existing MPEG-4 bitstream format. The SBR technology i...

T he advent of object-based multime-dia standards, in particular MPEG-4, has brought new challenges to the subject of media streaming over the Internet. To tackle these challenges, the Moving Picture Expert Group (MPEG) defined a generic multimedia delivery platform—the Delivery Multimedia Integration Framework—under the MPEG-4 umbrella. In this article we describe the DMIF framework and examin...

methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mpeg) with molecular mass of 5 kda activated with succinimidyl carbonate and cyanuric chloride, separately was covalently attached to human red blood cells (rbcs). inhibition of agglutination by blood-type specific antisera (anti-d) was employed to evaluate the effect of the polymer coating. the remaining single cells after incubation with anti-d sera were counted...

This article introduces the ISO/IEC MPEG Immersive Video (MIV) standard, MPEG-I Part 12, which is undergoing standardization. The draft MIV standard provides support for viewing immersive volumetric content captured by multiple cameras with six degrees of freedom (6DoF) within a space that determined camera arrangement in capture rig. bitstream format and decoding processes specification along ...

The MPEG Encoded Retrieval and Indexation Toolkit (MERIT) performs video segmen-tation of MPEG les in the compressed domain, using an algorithm based on macroblock type statistics. It was written in C by V. Kobla in 1995 for his doctoral work at the University of Maryland. Kobla's code dealt with MPEG-1 les only. In this report we update MERIT to analyze MPEG-2 les as well. We modify the le par...
