JVET-N0002 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 13th meeting in Marrakech, MA (9–18 January 2019) and the 14th meeting in Geneva, CH, (19–27 March 2019).

At the 13th JVET meeting, it was decided to include additional coding features for intra picture-prediction, inter-picture prediction, transform, CABAC engine and de-blocking filter in the fourth draft of Versatile Video Coding (VVC D4) and the VVC Test Model 4 (VTM4) encoding. Draft reference software to implement the VVC decoding process and VTM3 encoding method has also been developed.

The normative decoding process for Versatile Video Coding is specified in the VVC draft 4 text specification document. The VVC Test Model 4 (VTM 4) Algorithm and Encoder Description document provides an algorithm description as well as an encoder-side description of the VVC Test Model 4, which serves as a tutorial for the algorithm and encoding model implemented in the VTM4.0 software.

An issue tracker (https://jvet.hhi.fraunhofer.de/trac/vvc) was used to facilitate the reporting of errata with the VVC documents.

Decisions
The AHG recommended to: Approve the edited JVET-M1001 and JVET-M1002 documents as JVET outputs, Continue to edit the VVC draft and Test Model documents to ensure that all agreed elements of VVC are fully described, Compare the VVC documents with the VVC software and resolve any discrepancies that may exist, in collaboration with the software AHG, Encourage the use of the issue tracker to report issues with the text of both the VVC specification draft and the algorithm and encoder description, Continue to improve the editorial consistency of VVC WD and Test Model documents, Ensure that, when considering the addition of new feature to VVC, properly drafted text for addition to the VVC Test Model and/or the VVC Working Draft is made available in a timely manner.
