Information technology — Coding of audio-visual objects — Part 2: Visual
ISO/IEC 14496-2:2004 provides the following elements related to the encoded representation of visual information:
- Specification of video coding tools, object types and profiles, including capability to encode rectangular-based and arbitrary-shaped video objects, capability to define scalable bitstreams and error-resilient encoding tools;
- Specification of coding tools, object types and profiles for mapping of still textures into visual scenes;
- Specification of coding tools, object types and profiles for human face and body animation based on face/body models and additional semantic parameters; and
- Specification of coding tools, object types and profiles for animation of 2D warping grids with uniform and irregular topology.
The Visual specification contains definitions of the bitstream syntax, bitstream semantics and the related decoding process. It does not specify the encoders, which can be optimized in different implementations.

Frequently Asked Questions about ISO/IEC 14496-2:2004
When you purchase a standard from the Austrian Standards webshop (e.g. ÖNORM, ISO), a single-user licence is included as standard. This entitles a single person to use the standard. A multi-user licence is required if several employees need access. It enables company-wide, legally compliant use and sharing of standards.
Standardization thrives on expertise and participation. Anyone interested can play an active role in its further development – for example, by joining the relevant committee or a working group. In this way, you can help shape the content and contribute to advancing the state of the art.
If you have an extensive portfolio of standards, we recommend using a professional standards management tool. With effects 2.0, you can manage your standards centrally and efficiently. You can optimise your procurement processes and benefit from an integrated information and subscription service. This ensures you are always up to date and never miss any relevant developments.
