Object and Scene Description (MPAI-OSD) is a project for a standard specifying technologies for object description and their localisation in space. Such technologies are used across several use cases of several MPAI standards. Figure 1 gives two examples that assume the types of output to Audio and Visual Scene Descriptors. Figure 1 - Audio and Visual Scene Description The nextFigure 2 provides one solution to the problem of assigning identifiers to the Objects – extracted from an audio-visual scene, especially…

“Digital humans” are computer-created digital objects that can be rendered with a human appearance and called Avatars. As Avatars have mostly been created, animated, and rendered in closed environments, there is no surprise that there has been very little need for standards. In a communication context, say, in an interoperable metaverse, digital humans may not be constrained to be in a closed environment. Therefore, if a sender requires that a remote receiving client reproduce a digital human as intended by…

Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) promise to replace human errors with a lower machine errors rate, give more time to human brains for rewarding activities, optimise use of vehicles, infrastructure, traffic management, reduce congestion and pollution, and help elderly and disabled people have a better life. MPAI thinks that standards can accelerate the coming of CAVs as an established reality. The first MPAI standard is “Connected Autonomous Vehicles – Architecture”. It specifies a CAV Reference Model broken down into Subsystems for…
