In the last MPEG meeting, MPEG issued a Call for Evidence (CfE) on High-performance Video Coding (HVC). Nine responses to the CfE are received in this meeting (89th MPEG London). Those reponse proposals adopt typical coding tools in KTA, such as adaptive loop filter (ALF), extended macroblock size (EMS), larger transform size (LTS), internal bit depth increasing (IBDI), adaptive quantization matrix selection (AQMS), as well as new tools, such as modified intra prediction, modified de-block filter, decoder-side motion vector derviation (DMVD).

The objective experimental results show that 20% average bit reduction is achieved compared with H.264/AVC High Profile for all classes of test video sequences (Class A: 19%, Class B:25%, Class C:22%, Class D: 15% bit reductions, respectively). Subjective evalution is also conducted during this meeting. The purpose of subjective evaluation is identifying examples that give the best evidence and assessing whether the evidence is large enough.

Permanent Link: Current Status of HVC (High-Performance Video Coding) in MPEG

The 89^th MPEG / 31^st JVT / 38^th VCEG meetings are hosted by the Centre for Digital Music, School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science of Queen Mary University of London, UK.

• AhGs will meet on 27 - 28 June 2009.
• The 89^th MPEG Meeting will be held on 29 June - 3 July, 2009.
• The 31^st JVT Meeting will be held on 29 June - 3 July, 2009.
• The 38^th ITU-VCEG Meeting will be held on 1 - 2 July, 2009. (Note: this VCEG meeting only discusses the future collaboration of VCEG and MPEG. Technical issues will be discussed in Geneva meeting on July 6 – 8.)

I will go to London to attend the meetings, and will report the progress in good time. Keep an eye on this website!
