Note
For example, in single-frame instance of an IOD that is required to or may contain the Cine Module, it may be appropriate for Frame Time (0018,1063) to be present with a value of 0, and be the only target of Frame Increment Pointer (0028,0009).
When the IOD permits the use of Multi-frame Functional Groups as a Standard or Standard Extended SOP Class, Frame Increment Pointer may contain the single value of Per-frame Functional Groups Sequence (5200,9230) to indicate that the Functional Groups contain the descriptors of the frames.
Note
For example, the Multi-frame Grayscale Word SC Image IOD requires the Multi-frame Module but also permits the Multi- frame Functional Groups, for example, to describe the plane position of each frame.
C.7.6.6.1.3 Stereoscopic Pairs Present
Stereo Pairs Present (0022,0028) shall have the value of YES when frames within a Multi-frame Image are encoded as left and right stereoscopic pairs.
When Stereoscopic Pairs are present, and the pixel data is uncompressed, or compressed with a Transfer Syntax that does not ex- plicitly convey the semantics of stereo pairs, the first and subsequent odd frames (frames numbered from 1) are the left frame of each pair, and the second and subsequent even frames are the right frame of each pair.
If the pixel data is compressed with a Transfer Syntax that does explicitly convey the semantics of stereo pairs, then the identification of the left and right frames in the compressed pixel data will be as defined in the compressed bit stream.
Note
1.Forexample,theMPEG-4AVC/H.264SupplementalEnhancementInformation(SEI)framepackingarrangement(FPA) field defines various methods of encoding stereo pairs. See PS3.5 Section 8.2.8 “MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile / Level 4.2 Video Compression”. Videos encoded with this Transfer Syntax are used for what is colloquially referred to as "3D Television" applications. PS3.5 Section 8.2.9 “MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Stereo High Profile / Level 4.2 Video Com- pression” defines a method of encoding stereo pairs without frame packing and with 2D backwards compatibility.
2.ThepresenceofStereoPairsPresent(0022,0028)isindependentoftheuseofinstancesoftheStereometricRelationship IOD. In particular, no further description of the method of acquisition of the stereoscopic pairs is required, such as might be present in Attributes of the Stereo Pairs Sequence (0022,0020) of the Stereometric Relationship IOD. The definition of the references to left and right pairs in that IOD prohibit the encoding of the left and right pairs in the same instance, as distinct for the usage here.
3.Not all multi-frame IODs are sufficiently generic in their description to permit the presence of stereoscopic pairs. E.g., the Video Endoscopic Image IOD, Video Microscopic IOD and Video Photographic IODs are, since they do not specify any conflicting constraints on the meaning of the frames.
