[M4IF Technotes] Where can I download then MPEG-4 Test Sequen ces with Mask?

[Rob Koenen]

Klaus, all
if you put the content in the public domain (i.e., we make it available
against 
reproduction cost) then perhaps some other parties can contribute masks,
sort 
of as an "open resource" activity. You don't necessarily have to do all the
work
yourself.

Masks have not been considered so far. However, the process of collecting
requirements and putting together a kind of wish list is not yet finalized.
We have submitted the proposal for producing test sequences to the upcoming
MPEG meeting in Klagenfurt. The purpose of the submission is to solicit
technical input from the coding experts. This input shall also help to shape
the test sequences in a way that makes it highly usable and acceptable for
all sorts of acitivities in the MPEG arena. 
So, if there is a request to supply masks, which I interpret as segmentation
masks for arbitrarily shaped video objects, then I would invite parties to
specify as detailed as possible what the requests and requirements are. We
will subsequently analyze how much of the wish list can be achieved given
the time and budget constraints under which we all live. 
Interested parties can either speak up in Klagenfurt and address directly my
colleage Tobias Oelbaum ( Oelbaum   ei.tuim.de <mailto:Oelbaum   ei.tuim.de> )
or send email to me directly ( kldi   ei.tum.de <mailto:kldi   ei.tum.de> ).
(This is not to understood as any sort of committment that the final result
will provide masks, but we do what we can.)
Cheers
Klaus

This is a FAQ ... 
The availability of video test sequences is murky. The rights
are unclear. Some M4IF members are in the process of making new ones,
to be generally available for non-commercial use. I do not know whether
these include masks; it is an interesting question.
Klaus?
