The standard for digital media content description specifies digital media visual content descriptors to satisfy the requirement of searching in large-scale multimedia data and support applications to visual surveillance. The standard provides compact descriptors to represent the visual features and describe the category, attribute, property, and context information of the multimedia data, which can facilitate content searching and indexing, save bandwidth for transmission, enable hardware support for descriptor extraction and matching, ensure interoperability of multimedia applications and ubiquitous platforms, simplify design of visual application, and enhance performance on visual surveillance applications, which demand high bandwidth. New IEEE Standard - Active. Tools for description of visual content, including still images and videos, are specified in this standard. Visual content description consists of visual features, text labels, and device information. This standard is divided into two profiles: basic profile and surveillance profile. The basic profile specifies basic visual descriptors that apply to general purpose. The surveillance profile is a superset of the basic profile and includes all the descriptions specified in the basic profile as well as special descriptors for surveillance purpose.
