The Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (jct-vc) of itu-t wp3/16 and iso/iec jtc 1/sc 29/wg 11 held its second meeting during 21-28 July, 2010 at the itu-t premises in Geneva, ch

8.5TE3 Inter Prediction

This is a continuation of a related prior TE, to be coordinated by Andreas Krutz (TUB).

Sub-experiments will include:

• 
  Warped MC and second order prediction
  
• 
  Flexible motion partitioning (relation with TE12)
  
• 
  Multi-hypothesis inter prediction (investigate potentially more efficient methods than with current B picture mechanisms)
  
• 
  Improved inter prediction with enhanced MC filter (relation with TE12)
  

8.6TE4 Variable length coding

This TE will be coordinated by X. Wang (Qualcomm). It is focused on JCTVC-B098 (Qualcomm, Nokia, Tandberg) CBF coding, new interleaving method in large transform blocks

This work needs to wait for new implementation of the VLC coding in the TMuC software.

This is a very focused experiment on potentially improving the VLC entropy coding in the TMuC.

8.7TE5 TMuC Intra prediction simplification

This TE will be coordinated by T.K. Tan (NTT Docomo). It is focused on investigation of JCTVC-B093 and JCTVC-B118 in a TE (proposing simplifications to be verified for potential adoption by the next meeting).

A question that was raised (not investigated by this TE) was whether the benefit of the "harmonized design" which has 17 prediction directions in case of 4x4 will be tested. It was confirmed that this will be done in TE12 (17 versus 9 directions).
