JVET-L0002 JVET AHG report: Draft text and test model algorithm description editing (AHG2) [B. Bross, J. Chen, J. Boyce, S. Kim, S. Liu, Y. Ye]
This document reports the work of the JVET ad hoc group on draft text and test model algorithm description editing (AHG2) between the 11th meeting in Ljubljana, SI (10–18 July 2018) and the 12th meeting in Macao, CN (3–12 October 2018).
The first draft of Versatile Video Coding (VVC D1) includes a quadtree with nested multi-type tree using binary and ternary splits coding block structure as the initial new coding feature of VVC. At the 11th JVET meeting, it was decided to include more coding features for intra picture-prediction, inter-picture prediction, transform coefficient coding, transform, adaptive loop filtering and a starting basis for high-level syntax in the second draft of Versatile Video Coding (VVC D2) and the VVC Test Model 2 (VTM2) encoding. Draft reference software to implement the VVC decoding process and VTM2 encoding method has also been developed.
The normative decoding process for Versatile Video Coding is specified in the VVC draft 2 text specification document. The VVC Test Model 2 (VTM 2) Algorithm and Encoder Description document provides an algorithm description as well as an encoder-side description of the VVC Test Model 2, which serves as a tutorial for the algorithm and encoding model implemented in the VTM2.0 software.
An issue tracker (https://jvet.hhi.fraunhofer.de/trac/vvc) was used to facilitate the reporting of errata with the VVC documents.
Seven versions of JVET-K1001 were published by the Editing AHG between the 11th meeting in Ljubljana, SI (10–18 July 2018) and the 12th meeting in Macao, CN (3–12 October 2018).
