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.
