Primary goals

The primary goals of the meeting were to review the work that had been performed in the interim period since the sixth JCT-3V meeting in producing

• 
  Draft Text 8 of 3D-AVC (ISO/IEC 14496-10:2012/FDAM3 – to be integrated and balloted in new edition)
  
• 
  Test Model 8 of 3D-AVC
  
• 
  Draft 1 of 3D-AVC reference software (ISO/IEC 14496-5:2001/PDAM 35 –for ballot)
  
• 
  Draft Text 6 of MV-HEVC (Study of ISO/IEC 23008-2:200X/DAM 2)
  
• 
  Test Model 6 of 3D-HEVC and MV-HEVC, and associated software
  
• 
  Draft 2 of 3D-HEVC text specification
  
• 
  Draft 5 of MVC plus Depth Conformance (Study of ISO/IEC 14496-4:2004/DAM 41 – not for ballot)
  
• 
  Draft 3 of MVC plus Depth Reference Software (ISO/IEC 14496-5:2001/DAM 33 –for ballot)
  
• 
  Draft 3 of 3D-AVC Conformance (ISO/IEC 14496-4:2004/PDAM 43 – for ballot)
  
• 
  Draft 4 of Multi-resolution Frame Compatible Stereo (ISO/IEC 14496-10:2012/FDAM5 – to be integrated and balloted in new edition)
  
• 
  Draft 2 of MFC Conformance (ISO/IEC 14496-4:2004/DAM 42 – for ballot)
  
• 
  Draft 2 of MFC Reference Software (ISO/IEC 14496-5:2001/DAM 34 –for ballot)
  
• 
  3D Video Subjective Quality Assessment Test plan v2
  
• 
  Common Test Conditions of 3DV Core Experiments and CE Descriptions.
  

Furthermore, the JCT-3V reviewed the results from the interim Core Experiments (CE); reviewed technical input documents; produced updated versions of the aforementioned draft texts, framework descriptions, conformance and software implementations of the items above; and planned a new set of Core Experiments (CEs) for further investigation of proposed technology.

Two areas of high priority work for JCT-3V at this meeting were as follows:

• 
  High-level syntax design for MV-HEVC (much of the work on which was considered jointly with JCT-VC).
  
• 
  Assessment of the maturity and benefit for standardization of dedicated combined texture and depth coding tools (known as "3D-HEVC").
