Future Work Items

Audio, 3DGC, and Video subgroups continued to brainstorm on directions subject to further MPEG standards. Gaming was identified as an application area that could make use of MPEG technology beyond the currently used image, video and texture coding technology. Especially the use of geometry coding appears to be beneficial to the industry.
A meeting on the future of video coding with several company contributions outlining the roadmap for display, storage device and the requirements on network bandwidth was attended by more than 200 participants.

M15577 Requirements for next-generation video coding standard

M15704 Consideration on an approach for developing a new video codec

M15579 Analysis for Ad Hoc Group on New Challenges in Video Coding Standardization

M15580 Technical considerations for Ad Hoc Group on New Challenges in Video Coding Standardization

There appears to be a trend towards consumer displays with a resolution of 4k or 8k pixels/line at 60 Hz progressive scan. Storage capacity will be available. The request for transmitting video to the consumer at a rate below 50Mb/s was made. 2012 is envisioned for the start of using 4k displays in consumer applications. One demonstration showed HD video coding rate reductions of 25%. However, it is unclear whether current MPEG test sequences were shot with cameras of appropriate optical and electrical resolution.

Internal documents capturing the state of discussion were improved and appropriate adhoc groups established. At the 85^th meeting, a one-day workshop on New Challenges in Video Coding Standardization will be held.
