JVET-AL0338 AHG17: target bitrates for non-CTC sequences [M. Wien, E. François, E. Alshina, P. Nikitin, A. Wieckowski, K. Anderson, Y. Ye]

This contribution reports the results of the side activity in charge of adjusting the rates for the non-CTC sequences. The approach consisted in starting from the bitrates proposed in JVET-AL0054, and consolidating them based on the results of expert viewing reported in JVET-AK0335 (ACR MOS scores), in JVET-AL0053 (DCR, ACR MOS scores and succession tests scores), VTM/ECM comparisons made in Rennes meeting in JVET-AH2029 (DCR scores), and in VVC verification tests (JVET-T2020, JVET-V2020, JVET-W2020).

A table summarizing the considered sequences per category and a table summarizing the recommended bitrates are provided and were presented during 1330-1345 on Friday 4 April 2025. It was agreed that the rate points and selection of sequences (marked green) shall be used in the draft CfE and in the dry-run activity to be conducted in Daejeon.

If necessary, sequences that are not considered at this time might be re-invoked at a later stage.
