In his presentation, Professor Narroschke will give an overview of the video coding standard VersatileVideo Coding (VVC), which was adopted in July 2020. This standard was developed by the Joint Video Experts Team (JVET), which is composed of experts from the two standardization groups ITU-T Study Group 16 Question 6 (VCEG) and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11 (MPEG).
VVC was developed with the aim of reducing the data rate of digital video signals, while maintaining the same subjective picture quality compared to the HEVC standard adopted in 2013, by around 50%, while enabling a wide range of applications. This includes, in particular, efficient transmission of particularly high-resolution video signals. This includes local resolutions of 4K, 8K and greater, High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut. Furthermore, an efficient transmission of computer-generated screen content and omnidirectional 360° video signals as well as adaptive streaming are essential target applications. VVC thus continues the series of internationally important standards, which include in particular MPEG-2 / H.262, MPEG-4 AVC / H.264 and HEVC.
The presentation gives an overview of the essential coding techniques of VVC. A focus will be placed on the techniques that are not included in previous video coding standards and make a significant contribution to increasing coding efficiency. Overviews of data rate reduction achieved with VVC compared to HEVC, defined profiles and current developments in international standardization with respect to future standards round off the presentation.
