A brainstorm session on aspects of future needs in video coding standardization, with speeches given by invited industry representatives, was held on Tuesday afternoon (see Requirements SG report) In a subsequent joint meeting of MPEG Requirements, Video and VCEG it was decided to initiate first actions on seeking further evidence about applications, requiments and availability of suitable technology. On behalf of the Video SG, an AHG was set up with the goals of discussing and identifying challenges in video coding technology beyond HEVC; identifying suitable test cases and materials; and soliciting contributions on potential improvements in video compression.
