Motion Imagery Standards Board
Encyclopedia
The Motion Imagery Standards Board (MISB) is an official standards body that is responsible for reviewing, recommending, and overseeing standards for motion imagery, associated metadata
, audio, and related systems. These standards are used by the United States Department of Defense
(DoD), Intelligence Community
(IC), and the United States Imagery and Geospatial System (USIGS). The goal of the MISB is to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of motion imagery in its applications in the DoD, IC, and ISGIS. To this end, the MISB's mission is to ensure the development, application, and implementation of standards that maximize interoperability
, integrity, and quality of motion imagery.
Their slogan is:
The MISB meets three times a year in the Washington D.C. area.

Metadata
The term metadata is an ambiguous term which is used for two fundamentally different concepts . Although the expression "data about data" is often used, it does not apply to both in the same way. Structural metadata, the design and specification of data structures, cannot be about data, because at...

Interoperability
Interoperability is a property referring to the ability of diverse systems and organizations to work together . The term is often used in a technical systems engineering sense, or alternatively in a broad sense, taking into account social, political, and organizational factors that impact system to...

Mission
Officially, the MISB was established in accordance with DoD Directive 5105.60 "to formulate, review, and recommend standards for motion imagery, associated metadata, audio, and other related systems" for DoD, IC, and National System for Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG). The MISB is a part of the Geospatial Intelligence Standards Working Group (GWG) of the National Center for Geospatial Intelligence Standards and in turn comprises seven working groups, each of which are assigned different functional areas regarding motion imagery.Their slogan is:
“Shaping the future of motion imagery to maximize the utility of technology to benefit of the warfighter.”
The MISB meets three times a year in the Washington D.C. area.
MISP
The Motion Imagery Standard Profile (MISP) is a direct expression of the MISB mission and serves as the master baseline standards document prepared and managed by the MISB.Associated Standards
The MISB suite of technologies emphasizes interoperability over all else. With this in mind, MISB has adopted such codec standards as KLVKLV
KLV is a data encoding standard, often used to embed information in video feeds. Items are encoded into Key-Length-Value triplets, where key identifies the data, length specifies the data's length, and value is the data itself...

MPEG-2 is a standard for "the generic coding of moving pictures and associated audio information". It describes a combination of lossy video compression and lossy audio data compression methods which permit storage and transmission of movies using currently available storage media and transmission...

MPEG-4
MPEG-4 is a method of defining compression of audio and visual digital data. It was introduced in late 1998 and designated a standard for a group of audio and video coding formats and related technology agreed upon by the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group under the formal standard ISO/IEC...
