Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity.
ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/
IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives or www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs).
ISO and IEC draw attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the
use of (a) patent(s). ISO and IEC take no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any
claimed patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO and IEC had not
received notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers
are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent
database available at www.iso.org/patents and https://patents.iec.ch. ISO and IEC shall not be held
responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

Subclause 6.4.5
rd
Replace the 3 sentence with:
The auxiliary image and master image(s) are linked using an item reference of 'auxl' from the auxiliary
image to the master image.
Subclause 6.4.9
Add the following new subclauses after subclause 6.4.9:
6.4.10 Overview images
An overview image is described by a grid derived image item or a tiled pre-derived coded image item
or a tiled image item whose reconstructed image is formed from generating a lower resolution, ‘binned’
version of the reconstructed image of a base image item. The base image item is also tiled. The tiling may
be implemented using a feature of a specific codec, or by using a grid derived image item, or by using a tiled
image item. When a grid derived image item is used, the input items to the grid define the tiles. Derived
image items shall not be used as inputs to the image grid, due to the need for in place byte range accessing of
content. Individual tiles shall be written contiguously in memory, thereby allowing access with a single read
or write action.
A pre-derived coded image item representing an overview image or an image item representing the base
image that are tiled using a feature of a specific codec shall be stored in such a way that each extent identifies
that data range corresponding to a tile and shall be associated with a ConstrainedExtentsGridProperty
indicating the constraint on the extents and describing the tiling grid.
In cases where the binned resolution results in a fractional, or incomplete tile at the end of a row (column),
the last tile in a row (column) of tiles shall be padded with the value zero at the end of the row (column)
to complete the last tile in the row (column). If necessary, the clean aperture transformative property
('clap') may be applied to crop padded rows and/or columns. The number of tiles in a row (column) of tiles
is determined by dividing the width (height) of the overview image by the tile size in X (tile size in Y) and
rounding up.
The image format of the overview images is the same as the base image. i.e. number of bands, bit depth,
colour format, etc.
© ISO/IEC 2025 – All rights reserved
ISO/IEC 23008-12:2025/FDAM 1:2025(en)
Overview images can be stacked together with the base image as a series of progressively binned images in
an image pyramid entity group as defined in 6.8.11.
NOTE 1 In this version of the document, the exact derivation process (approaches such as the sum, average, median,
minimum, or maximum value of a binned region) used to produce an overview from the base image is left to the
implementer.
NOTE 2 When removing (or modifying) an item that is marked as the base image of an overview image, the content
of associated image overview items might need to be removed (or rewritten).
Clause 6.5
Clauses 6.5.18.1, 6.5.19.1, 6.5.20.1, 6.5.27.1, 6.5.35.1
Replace the word "item_ID" with the phrase "identifier value"
Clauses 6.5.18.1, 6.5.19.1, 6.5.20.1, 6.5.27.1, 6.5.35.1
Append the following text as a new paragraph:
If this property is associated with an entity group, the FileTypeBox or the ExtendedTypeBox associated with
the FileTypeBox shall indicate that the requirements of the 'unif' brand apply in the file.
Subclause 6.5.39.1
Append the following sentence and NOTE to the first paragraph and renumber existing NOTEs accordingly.
The CameraExtrinsicMatrixProperty describes the camera extrinsics of the item output image.
NOTE 1 As specified in clause 6.5.1, all descriptive properties that come after transform properties are ignored.
This means that CameraExtrinsicMatrixProperty needs to precede all transform properties even though it
describes the output image.
Subclause 6.5.40.1
Append the following sentence and NOTE to the first paragraph. Renumber existing NOTEs accordingly.
The CameraIntrinsicMatrixProperty describes the camera intrinsics of the item output image.
NOTE 1 As specified in clause 6.5.1, all descriptive properties that come after transform properties are ignored.
This means that CameraIntrinsicMatrixProperty needs to precede all transform properties even though it
describes the output image.
Replace the following:
The values of the above intrinsic matrix can be calculated as follows:
f = focal_length_x × image_width /denominator
x
f = focal_length_y × image_height /denominator
y
c = principal_point_x × image_width /denominator

image item.

where imageWidth and imageHeight are the output dimensions of the image item after applying all
transformative properties, if any. If no transformative properties are associated with the item this translates
respectively to the dimensions image_width and image_height in the ImageSpatialExtentsProperty.
Subclause 6.5.40
Add the following new subclauses after subclause 6.5.40. Renumber tables as needed:
6.5.41 Constrained extents grid
6.5.41.1 Definition

Box type:
Property type: Descriptive item property

The ConstrainedExtentsGridProperty descriptive item property indicates that each extent of the associated
image item in the itemLocationBox is constrained to enclose data units of the item that are extractable as a
contiguous byte range and are independently decodable and renderable as image tiles.
The configuration data needed to decode each extent independently may be present in the ExtentDecoderC
onfigurationRecord within the ConstrainedExtentsGridProperty. If the configuration data is not present
in the ConstrainedExtentsGridProperty, all data units or properties required to configure the decoder and

decode an image tile shall be declared in the decoder configuration and initialization properties associated
with the image item.
The reconstructed image of the associated image item is formed from one or more image tiles in a given grid
order within a larger canvas.
The image tiles corresponding to the extents are inserted in row-major order, top-row first, left to right, in
the order of the extents for the associated image item within the ItemLocationBox. The value of extent_count
within the ItemLocationBox shall be equal to (1+rows_minus_one)*(1+columns_minus_one). All image tiles
shall have exactly the same width and height, image_tile_width and image_tile_height. The reconstructed
image is formed by tiling the image tiles into a grid with a column width equal to image_tile_width and
a row height equal to image_tile_height, without gap or overlap. The grid of image tiles shall completely
“cover” the reconstructed image of the associated image item, where image_tile_width*columns is greater
than or equal to image_width and image_tile_height*rows is greater than or equal to im
