SAB Special Projects Status Report Paul Eastman Special Projects 6/3/14

Special Projects Activity–WGs  P Standard for Environmental Assessment of Personal Computer Products (Rev.) P Standard for Environmental Assessment of Servers  P1857 Advanced Audio Coding  P3333 3D Model Creation Using Unprocessed 3D Medical Data 2CPS Presentation to IEEE President 12 May 09

P Overview The P Working Group has been having bi- monthly WG meetings and has formed Materials, Packaging, EoL and Energy sub-groups. The Materials Subgroup and EoL subgroup have started meeting regularly The other groups have had kick-off meetings but have not started meeting regularly. 3CPS Presentation to IEEE President 12 May 09

P Change Initiative The WG has decided to explicitly add small scale servers (not otherwise included in ), signage displays and tablets/slates to the scope of the PAR. The definitions of these devices will follow the related Energy Star definitions to align both with Energy Star and These changes to the scope might also expand the stakeholder group which will also be changed in the modified PAR. PAR modification is in the process of being created for approval by the WG and submission to the SAB Special Projects Executive Committee for approval. 4CPS Presentation to IEEE President 12 May 09

P Process Overview Working Group convened in October 2013 (face-to-face meeting at IEEE-CS in California) Monthly Working Group meetings –Members –Observers Work Streams underway –3 streams in parallel, as determined by members –Members, Observers, Invited SMEs Membership –Strong representation by manufacturers, suppliers, other industry –Strong representation by academics –Active but limited participation by NGOs and End Users. IEEE/WG continue to solicit participation/membership. –Open membership process 5

Progress to Date Review and agreement on product scope per PAR and latest Energy Star definition. Three Task Groups underway and meeting every 2 weeks: –Energy Efficiency –Materials Selection –Packaging 1 st set of criteria (Energy Efficiency) approved by Working Group –Starting now: End of Life Management Task Group Monthly WG meetings continue; Most Recent Face-to-Face in April (IEEE-SA HQ in NJ) –Agenda included: Definition of “environmental leadership”; balancing required vs. optional criteria, alignment with external standards; defining criteria to allow verification; etc. Extension Request PAR Submitted. 6

P Outlook Based on detailed work plans taking into account IEEE process requirements Best case –1 st working group ballot Dec 2014 –Approval to move to Sponsor Mar 2015 –Sponsor ballot approval Oct 2015 –Published standard Jan 2016 Worst case –1 st working group ballot Jan 2016 –Approval to move to Sponsor Apr 2016 –Sponsor ballot approval May 2017 –Published standard Aug 2017 We are currently tracking about 2 months behind the best case 7

P1857 Purpose and Usage  P1857 family can be used for video and audio compression in any possible application systems where bandwidth and/or storage cost are sensitive, like internet video, broadcasting TV, surveillance video, etc..  Currently the first case of P1857 video is adopted by China Central Television for their satellite TV transmission, from the beginning of  Other applications like internet video and surveillance video are also scheduled. 8CPS Presentation to IEEE President 12 May 09

P3333 Family P3333 consists of a family of 6 approved PARs  P Quality of Experience (QoE) and Visual Comfort Assessments of 3D Contents  P Perceptual Quality Assessment of 3D Contents  P Standard for 3D Medical Modelling  P D Medical Visualization  P D Medical Data Management  P D Medical Simulation 13CPS Presentation to IEEE President 12 May 09

P Draft P Quality of Experience (QoE) and Visual Comfort Assessments of 3D Contents  17 voting participants (Individual) from three continents  Draft nearly complete  MEC review  Request to form Balloting Group  SAB permission being soughtfor progression 14CPS Presentation to IEEE President 12 May 09

P Current Scope This standard establishes the minimum requirements for enabling portability and consistent display of 3D medical images across dedicated 3D display equipment, computers, mobile smart pads and smart phones. This includes standardization of volume image rendering (texture), collaboration of fragmented images and 3D models, data storage, data compression, data transport, motion simulation, 3D platforms, and 3D model management systems. 15CPS Presentation to IEEE President 12 May 09
