IEEE Draft Standard for Advanced Audio and Video Coding

Multimedia data has become the majority of data flooding the Internet. The standard specifies the video compression, decompression and packaging tools and mechanism to support the transmission and store of the multimedia data over Internet in a highly efficient way under constraints that include limited complexity and bandwidth. This part of the standard defines a set of tools for high efficient video coding, including multiple directional intra prediction, variable block size inter prediction and context adaptive binary arithmetic coding etc. Moreover, it specifies the decoding procedure. The target applications and services include but not limited TV over Internet, User Generated Multimedia Content, IP-based video conference, IP-based surveillance and other video enabled services and applications such as digital television broadcasting, digital storage media, and communication.
