High Efficiency Video Coding

About the book

The video coding standard High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) targets at improved compression performance for video resolutions of HD and beyond, providing Ultra HD video at similar compressed bit rates as for HD video encoded with the well-established video coding standard H.264 | AVC. Based on known concepts, new coding structures and improved coding tools have been developed and specified in HEVC. The standard is expected to be taken up easily by established industry as well as new endeavors, answering the needs of todays connected and ever-evolving online world.

Draft Call for Evidence on video compression with capability beyond HEVC

The potential kick-off for the development of a new generation video compression standard is emerging. The informal Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET) of ITU-T SG16 and MPEG has issued a draft Call for Evidence (CfE) [link] at its meeting in January which has been approved by its partent bodies. The final… Read more »

Foundation of JVET – Joint Video Exploration Team

At the October 2015 meeting of ITU-T SG16/Q6 VCEG and ISO/IEC JTC1 SC29WG11 MPEG, both organizations have founded a joint team for exploration of future video coding technology, see [link]. An email list has been established at RWTH Aachen University: https://mailman.rwth-aachen.de/mailman/listinfo/jvet
