Overview

ISO/IEC 23090-10:2022/Cor 1:2023 is a Technical Corrigendum to ISO/IEC 23090-10:2022 - the part of the ISO/IEC 23090 series that specifies the carriage of visual volumetric video-based coding data (V3C) for immersive media. Published May 2023 by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29, this corrigendum removes ambiguities and undefined type references in the original specification to ensure consistent parsing and interoperable implementations of V3C data in ISOBMFF-style containers.

Key topics and technical changes

• Clarifies and corrects syntax/semantics mismatches where types defined in ISO/IEC 23090-5 (for example v3c_unit, nal_unit, sample_stream_nal_unit, v3c_unit_header, v3c_parameter_set) were referenced but not defined in ISO/IEC 23090-10.
• Replaces undefined custom types with explicit byte arrays (e.g. bit(8) v3c_parameter_set[v3c_parameter_set_length], bit(8) setup_unit[setup_unit_length], bit(8) header[4]) so the carriage format is self-contained.
• Updates V3CDecoderConfigurationRecord syntax to accept a version parameter and to use generic length-prefixed arrays for parameter and setup units.
• Ensures length fields (v3c_parameter_set_length, setup_unit_length, nal_size) are explicitly documented and shall not be zero, improving robustness of parsers.
• Defines how V3CAtlasSample represents NAL unit sizes using the configured unit_size_precision_bytes_minus1 field, and clarifies that the contained arrays replicate the sample-stream NAL unit format from ISO/IEC 23090-5 Annex D.
• Replaces ambiguous inline comments and ties configuration box contents to the corrected V3CDecoderConfigurationRecord instance.

Practical applications and who should use it

• Implementers of volumetric video codecs and decoders who need reliable, unambiguous carriage formats for V3C data.
• MP4/ISOBMFF tool and player developers packaging or parsing immersive media tracks.
• Streaming platforms and content distributors delivering visual volumetric video or immersive media where consistent container semantics matter.
• Test labs and interoperability working groups validating conformance of V3C stream carriage.
• Standards authors and integrators referencing ISO/IEC 23090 parts for cross-part consistency.

Related standards

• ISO/IEC 23090-5 - defines V3C unit structure, NAL unit formats and sample-stream semantics referenced and clarified by this corrigendum.
• ISO/IEC 23090 series - other parts covering coded representation of immersive media.

This corrigendum improves parser determinism, reduces cross-references to undefined types, and strengthens interoperability for volumetric/immersive media carriage in ISOBMFF-based systems.

ISO/IEC 23090-10:2022/Cor.1:2023(E)
1 v3c_unit and nal_unit types
In the syntax of V3CDecoderConfigurationRecord the v3c_parameter_set is using the v3c_unit
type which is defined in ISO/IEC 23090-5 but not in ISO/IEC 23090-10.
v3c_unit v3c_parameter_set(v3c_parameter_set_length);
Even worse is the fact that while the syntax defines the parameter set to be a v3c_unit, the semantics
section only refers to a V3C Unit payload:
v3c_parameter_set is a V3C unit payload for V3C unit of type V3C_VPS, as defined in
ISO/IEC 23090-5.
This is clearly a mismatch between semantics and the syntax, because ISO/IEC 23090-5 defines the
v3c_unit, as a v3c_unit_header + v3c_unit_payload.
Similarly, nal_unit is also defined in ISO/IEC 23090-5 and should be replaced by generic bit(8) type.
It is also proposed to remove unnecessary inline comments.
1.1 Proposed corrigendum
In 7.2.1.2, replace:
aligned(8) class V3CDecoderConfigurationRecord {
// version 0
unsigned int(3) unit_size_precision_bytes_minus1;
unsigned int(5) num_of_v3c_parameter_sets;
for (int i=0; i < num_of_v3c_parameter_sets; i++) {
unsigned int(16) v3c_parameter_set_length;
// v3c_unit() as defined in ISO/IEC 23090-5
v3c_unit v3c_parameter_set(v3c_parameter_set_length);
}
unsigned int(8) num_of_setup_unit_arrays;
for (int j=0; j < num_of_setup_unit_arrays; j++) {
unsigned int(1) array_completeness;
bit(1) reserved = 0;
unsigned int(6) nal_unit_type;
unsigned int(8) num_nal_units;
for (int i=0; i < num_nal_units; i++) {
unsigned int(16) setup_unit_length;
// nal_unit(size) as defined in ISO/IEC 23090-5

nal_unit setup_unit(setup_unit_length);
}
}
// additional fields
}
with:
aligned(8) class V3CDecoderConfigurationRecord(int version) {
if(version == 0){
unsigned int(3) unit_size_precision_bytes_minus1;
unsigned int(5) num_of_v3c_parameter_sets;
for (int i=0; i < num_of_v3c_parameter_sets; i++) {
unsigned int(16) v3c_parameter_set_length;
bit(8) v3c_parameter_set[v3c_parameter_set_length];
}
unsigned int(8) num_of_setup_unit_arrays;
for (int j=0; j < num_of_setup_unit_arrays; j++) {
unsigned int(1) array_completeness;
bit(1) reserved = 0;
unsigned int(6) nal_unit_type;
unsigned int(8) num_nal_units;
for (int i=0; i < num_nal_units; i++) {
unsigned int(16) setup_unit_length;
bit(8) setup_unit[setup_unit_length];
}
}
}
}
In 7.2.1.3, replace:
v3c_parameter_set_length indicates the size, in bytes, of the v3c_parameter_set field.
v3c_parameter_set is a V3C unit payload for V3C unit of type V3C_VPS, as defined in ISO/IEC
23090-5.
...
setup_unit_length indicates the size, in bytes, of the setup_unit field. The length field includes the size
of both the NAL unit header and the NAL unit payload but does not include the length field itself.
contains a NAL unit according to related nal_unit_type. When present in
setup_unit
setup_unit, NAL_PREFIX_ESEI, NAL_PREFIX_NSEI, NAL_SUFFIX_ESEI, or NAL_SUFFIX_NSEI
contain SEI messages of a ‘declarative’ nature, that is, those that provide information about the
stream as a whole. An example of such an SEI could be a user-data SEI.
with:
v3c_parameter_set_length indicates the size, in bytes, of the v3c_parameter_set array. The
signalled value shall not be equal to 0.
v3c_parameter_set is an array of data containing the entire v3c_unit of the type V3C_VPS, as
defined in ISO/IEC 23090-
