JVET-AK0012 JVET AHG report: Enhanced compression beyond VVC capability (AHG12) [M. Karczewicz, Y. Ye, L. Zhang (co-chairs), B. Bross, R. Chernyak, X. Li, K. Naser, Y. Yu (vice-chairs)]
  1. Activities

The primary activity of the AHG was the “Exploration experiment on enhanced compression beyond VVC capability” (JVET-AJ2024). The combined improvements of the ECM-15.0 over VTM-11.0ecm15.0 anchor for AI, RA and LB configurations are:

The rate reduction for natural sequences over VTM in RA configuration for {Y, U, V} increased from ECM-14.0’s {-25.94%, -26.96%, -29.84%} to ECM-15.0’s {-26.55%, -27.57%, -30.37%}. For SCC sequences (class TGM) the rate reduction for RA configuration increased from ECM-14.0’s { -41.56%, -47.16%, -46.90%} to ECM-15.0’s { -42.33%, -47.83%, -47.63%}.
