Introduction
0.1  General
This amendment to ISO/IEC 23001-17 includes the following additions and corrections:
— defines the capability to apply generic compression to still and motion imagery as well as other media
types (e.g. KLV metadata tracks);
— clarifies the original standard text related to padding of images using subsampled chroma components;
— corrects a typographical error in subclause 5.3.2, Table 5
— corrects a typographical error in subclause 6.1.11.2
— adds the capability to encode signed integer components;
— adds brands for generically compressed media.
While ISO/IEC 23001-17 nominally defines the mechanism to carry uncompressed imagery and raster data
within ISOBMFF, it also more generically defines a mechanism to define the in-memory layout for an item or
sample, and then store the image using that layout. Key aspects of that in-memory layout are:
— component value types and sizes;
— tiling to enable efficient spatial-based access for large imagery;
— padding to ensure that individual component values or groups of component values can be accessed by
the processing unit without having to perform bit shifts for every single access, and without having to
cross key storage/memory page boundaries.
This capability brings ISOBMFF on par with other generic storage formats for numeric data (such as HDF5)
with one exception – data-agnostic numerically-lossless and bitwise-lossless compression, transparent to
the end user. In HDF5, for example, a large N-dimensional array of numerical data can be chunked (i.e. tiled)
and then each chunk is compressed using off-the-shelf ubiquitous data-agnostic compression tools (e.g.
deflate). This provides storage and transmission savings similar to numerically lossless image coders, with
minimal computational performance impact. These capabilities can be applied not only to typical integer-
based pixel formats, but also to IEEE 754 floating-point pixel formats that are unsupported in most imagery
compression algorithms.
Adding this capability to ISO/IEC 23001-17 is expected to provide cost savings (for both storage and network
transmission), particularly for applications and datasets involving large amounts of uncompressed content,
such as geospatial and scientific imagery, without significantly changing how those applications access the
pixel data.
In this amendment, this mechanism is applied to KLV formatted metadata tracks in addition to image
samples and items. Application to other media types can be defined in future standards.
0.2  Use cases
— Data producer generates a large image (or image sequence) using 32-bit IEEE 754 binary floating
point component values after calibration. The image is tiled using 1024 × 1024 tiles and each tile is
independently compressed using deflate.
— Data consumer desires to load only a specific spatial region from an image or sample based on some
form of chunking of the image (chunk by rectangular tiles or chunk by rows). Consumer uses offset/size
information provided within the ISOBMFF file to locate only the desired chunks. Each of those chunks
can be independently decompressed.
— Data consumer desires to load only a spatial region from a large tiled image, where the desired region
is smaller than a region contained within a single compressed tile. After decompressing the tile, the
order, alignment and padding of the component data is maintained, enabling the consumer to calculate

iv
ISO/IEC 23001-17:2024/FDAM 2:2025(en)
individual component value offsets – parsing through the decompressed tile to locate specific pixels/
component is not necessary.
— A data producer collects an image of the Earth scanning diagonally from northwest to southeast. For
simpler human viewing of the image, the collected image is rotated 45 degrees to align north to up, and
additional padding is added to form a tiled, rectangular image buffer. Since the four corner tiles are
entirely fill data, they are omitted from the data stored within the ISOBMFF file.
— Legal requirements for records management require bitwise-lossless compression of the image data – it
is not sufficient that the decompressed pixel value is numerically equal to the original pixel value; the
specific bit patterns must also be the same.
0.3  Capabilities
— Numerically and bitwise lossless compression of items and track samples, especially when consisting of
floating-point formatted media.
— Pixel organization prior to compression (as well as post-decompression) is defined by the uncompressed
spec in ISO/IEC 23001-17. The point is for the encoder to determine how to best organize the pixel/
component data when in a directly-accessible form, and then to implement simple off-the-shelf,
numerically/bitwise-lossless compression on that data.
— Utilization of existing compression technology with open licensing, broad/mature support, and
availability of open-source software and tools.
— Ability to access portions of the image without fully decompressing the entire sample or item.
— Ability to compress, access, and decompress tiles independently. This includes gridded items as well
as tiles defined within ISO/IEC 23001-17.
— Ability to minimize coding/inclusion of fill data.
— e.g. a large geospatial image is rotated within the rectangular pixel boundaries so north is up.
This causes the corners of the expanded rectangular image to be just fill pixels, with a resulting
preference to not have to store those fill pixels
— Specifying a transformative property for arbitrary rotation is ultimately not sufficient as there
are many means to precisely georeference an image (e.g. orthorectification) involving pushing
pixels around based on imaging geometry and terrain.
— Determine if sub images of a gridded item can be omitted.
— Orthogonal capability to the ISO/IEC 23001-17 component value alignment, padding and component
value organization is highly desired. Upon decompression, each chunk is used exactly as if the respective
uncompressed values had been loaded directly from storage or the network.
— Constructive interaction between transformational properties is desired. For example, if the sample is
compressed as individual chunks, but the compressed sample is then encrypted as a single chunk, the
independence of those chunks might be lost.
— Ability to compress KLV metadata tracks and items.

information provided within the ISOBMFF file to locate only the desired chunks. Each of those chunks can
be independently decompressed.
— — Data consumer desires to load only a spatial region from a large tiled image, where the desired region
is smaller than a region contained within a single compressed tile. After decompressing the tile, the order,
alignment and padding of the component data is maintained, enabling the consumer to calculate individual
component value offsets – parsing through the decompressed tile to locate specific pixels/component is
not necessary.
— — A data producer collects an image of the Earth scanning diagonally from northwest to southeast. For
simpler human viewing of the image, the collected image is rotated 45 degrees to align north to up, and
additional padding is added to form a tiled, rectangular image buffer. Since the four corner tiles are entirely
fill data, they are omitted from the data stored within the ISOBMFF file.
— — Legal requirements for records management require bitwise-lossless compression of the image data
– it is not sufficient that the decompressed pixel value is numerically equal to the original pixel value; the
specific bit patterns must also be the same.
