Title: MPEG-7 Overview (version 9)
MPEG-7 is an ISO/IEC standard developed by MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group),
the committee that also developed the Emmy Award winning standards known as MPEG-1
and MPEG-2, and the MPEG-4 standard. MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 standards made interactive
video on CD-ROM and Digital Television possible. MPEG-4 is the multimedia standard for
the fixed and mobile web enabling integration of multiple paradigms.
MPEG-7, formally named “Multimedia Content Description Interface”, is a standard for
describing the multimedia content data that supports some degree of interpretation of the
information’s meaning, which can be passed onto, or accessed by, a device or a computer
code. MPEG-7 is not aimed at any one application in particular; rather, the elements that
MPEG-7 standardizes support as broad a range of applications as possible.
More information about MPEG-7 can be found at the MPEG home page
(http://mpeg.tilab.com), the MPEG-7 Consortium website (http://www.mp7c.org), and the
MPEG-7 Alliance website (http://www.mpeg-industry.com). These web pages contain links to
a wealth of information about MPEG, including much about MPEG-7, many publicly
available documents, several lists of ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ and links to other MPEG-7
web pages.
This document gives an overview of the MPEG-7 standard, explaining which pieces of
technology it includes and what sort of applications are supported by this technology. Also the
current work towards MPEG-7 version 2 is presented.
