12. 12CPS Presentation to IEEE President 12 May 09 P1857.6, Standard for Digital Media Content Description The PAR approval date: 11-Dec-2013 PAR Expiration Date: 31-Dec-2017 Features: The standard consists of three parts: 1) label, classification and core metadata, 2) visual object description, and 3) audio object description. Currently, we are focusing on visual object description. We have built a description framework which contains five types of descriptors: 1)color features, 2) texture features, 3)local features, 4)shape features, 5)motion features as well as 6)the compact representation of the features. In addition, we have also defined the basic structure including the spatial 2-D coordinates and region locator as the supporting tools and containers of the descriptors. In each description type, it contains several descriptors: Color features ： color histogram, dominant color, color moment Texture features: grey level co-occurrence matrix, Gabor texture feature, Homogeneous texture, Histogram of oriented gradient Local features: SIFT, local binary pattern Shape features: moment, edge center distance, shape context Motion features: trajectory, histogram of optical flow Future works and main issues are: We will further define the binary representation syntax and the descriptor component semantics for each specific descriptor. We have finished around 25% of the total visual descriptors. The standard is estimated to be fully completed before the end of 2016. More works have to be done to attract more technological contribution concerning audio feature extraction, visual feature extraction, feature compact representation and multimedia system.

The schedule for P1857.7 is roughly given below: The draft is 50% completed. (Jan, 2015). Determine the architecture of the standard; (March 2015) Working Draft for other protocol based part of the standard; (June 2015) Complete CD version of the draft; (September 2015) Fully complete the draft. (December 2015) The main issues are about to settle architecture: To determine the protocols that should be supported besides HTTP; To determine the relationship between the HTTP part and other possible protocol based parts.
