In April 2020, MPEG announced the completion of the new ISO/IEC 23094-1 standard, i.e., MPEG-5 Essential Video Coding (EVC). There is a constant demand for more efficient video coding technologies, but coding efficiency is not the only factor determining the industry’s choice of video coding technology for products and services. The standard offers improved compression

In October 2020, MPEG announced the completion of the new ISO/IEC 23094-2 standard, i.e., Low Complexity Enhancement Video Coding (MPEG-5 Part 2 LCEVC). LCEVC adds an enhancement data stream that can appreciably improve the resolution and visual quality of reconstructed video with effective compression efficiency of limited complexity by building on top of existing and

MPEG has recently completed the work on Compact Descriptors for Visual Search (CDVS), which enables efficient search in large-scale image collections. While this standard is an important step forward, there are still open challenges from the large and quickly growing amount of video, for example, in the media and entertainment industry, in the automotive industry

Artificial neural networks have been adopted for a broad range of tasks in multimedia analysis and processing, such as visual and acoustic classification, extraction of multimedia descriptors or image and video coding. The trained neural networks for these applications contain a large number of parameters (i.e., weights), resulting in a considerable size. Thus, transferring them

In July 2021,  MPEG has completed development of the MPEG Immersive Video (MIV) standard. MIV was developed to support compression of immersive video content in which multiple real or virtual cameras capture a real or virtual 3D scene. The standard enables storage and distribution of immersive video content over existing and future networks for playback

MPEG-5 will be a video coding standard to address business and technology needs in use cases that are not well served by existing ISO standards, such as HEVC. The goal is to develop a new video coding standard that meets a combination of business and technology requirements: In particular Part 2 of ISO/IEC 23094 which

MPEG announced the completion of the new Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard at its 131st meeting in July 2020. VVC is the latest in a series of very successful standards for video coding that have been jointly developed with ITU-T, and it is the direct successor to the well-known and widely used HEVC (Rec. ITU-T H.265
