1.3.5 IEEE P1857
IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) is a membership association in IEEE work-
ing on standards by individuals and organizations from a wide range of technical
and geographic points of origin to facilitate standards development and standards-
related collaboration. With collaborative thought leaders in more than 160 countries,
IEEE-SA promotes innovation, enables the creation and expansion of international
markets, and helps protect health and public safety. Its work drives the functional-
ity, capabilities, and interoperability of a wide range of products and services that
transform the way people live, work, and communicate.
IEEE P1857 is a working group in IEEE-SA on multimedia coding standards,
known as IEEE std. 1857 series, is particular for broadcast media, Internet video, and
surveillance video. The IEEE P1857 working group was founded in 2012, working
on IEEE standards for Advanced Audio and Video Coding, based on individual
members of IEEE-SA. The IEEE P1857 working group meets 3-4 times annually,
discussing the standard documentation and technologies. Up to now, the IEEE 1857
working group has finished three parts of the IEEE 1857 standards, including IEEE
std. 1857-2013, IEEE std. 1857.2-2013, and IEEE std. 1857.3-2013.
The IEEE std. 1857 family is amultipart standard formultimedia data compression
and communication in a highly efficient way under constraints that include limited
complexity and bandwidth, in particular for the emerging applications like video
surveillance and Internet video. IEEE std. 1857-2013, the first video coding part,
is organized in an application-oriented way that suitable tools are chosen to get a
high compression ratio. The key future of IEEE std. 1857-2013 is the background
model-based coding, which can achieve a double coding performance than the non-
model-based coding, for scene video, such as surveillance video (Gao et al.
2013
).
Actually, IEEE std. 1857-2013 can be viewed as an internationalized AVS1-P2 plus
AVS1-P13 video coding standard, which is the standard adopted by Chinese TV
industry, including manufactory and CCTV (China Central Television Station). The
history of IEEE 1857 Standard is given in Table

1.3.6 SEMPT and VC-1
SMPTE (The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) is a professional
membership association in movie and TV, from art to science, and engineering. Since
its founding in 1916, SMPTE has published the SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal
and developed more than 800 standards, recommended practices, and engineering
guidelines. The Society is sustained by more than 6,000 members with motion-
imaging executives, engineers, creative and technology professionals, researchers,
scientists, educators, and students.
SMPTE 421M, informally known as VC-1, and marketed as Windows Media
Video (Srinivasan et al.
2004
), was initially developed as a proprietary video format
