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

8.8TE6 Intra prediction improvements

This TE will be coordinated by Ali Tabatabai (Sony). It will include investigation of the following:

• 
  JCTVC-B040 and JCTVC-B042 (bidirectional part) – investigated in a common TMuC environment
  
• 
  JCTVC-B109 in relation to the method of prediction direction prediction that is already in the TMuC
  
• 
  JCTVC-B112
  
• 
  JCTVC-A109 (Mediatek) and JCTVC-A118 (Microsoft)
  

Tests will be conducted in both the low and high complexity TMuC configurations.

8.9TE7 Alternative transforms

This TE will be coordinated by Robert Cohen (Mitsubishi). It will include investigation of methods for MDDT simplification: JCTVC-B024, JCTVC-B042 (1DDUT part) JCTVC-B039/JCTVC-B102, and JCTVC-B073, investigated in a common TMuC environment.

Testing will be conducted using high-complexity hierarchical B and all-intra conditions.

8.10TE8 Parallel entropy coding

This TE will be coordinated by Madhugar Budagavi (TI). It will include investigation of parallel entropy coding technology, including proposals JCTVC-B034, JCTVC-B036, and JCTVC-B088. Two sub-experiments were planned:

• 
  Parallelization of context adaptation (JCTVC-B036, JCTVC-B088).
  
• 
  Comparing the static part of JCTVC-B034 V2V (without forward adaptation) against the HHI "PIPE" scheme. The JCTVC-B034 mehtod is claimed to have better throughput than PIPE due to the design of its VLC tables.
  

Specific methods of measuring hardware complexity are planned to be developed in this context.

The validity of such a measure would need to be supported by JCT-VC for taking decisions based on the results.
