JVET-P0002 JVET AHG report: Draft text and test model algorithm description editing (AHG2) [B. Bross, J. Chen, J. Boyce, S. Kim, S. Liu, Y.-K. Wang, Y. Ye]
This AHG report was discussed Thursday 3 October 0920 (GJS & JRO).
This document reports the work of the JVET ad hoc group on draft text and test model algorithm description editing (AHG2) between the 15th meeting in Gothenburg, SE, (3–12 July 2019) and the 16th meeting in Geneva, CH, (1–11 October 2019).
At the 15th JVET meeting, it was decided to include additional coding features for intra picture-prediction, inter-picture prediction, transform, CABAC engine and in-loop filter in the sixth draft of Versatile Video Coding (VVC D6) and the VVC Test Model 6 (VTM6) encoding.
The normative decoding process for Versatile Video Coding is specified in the VVC draft 6 text specification document. The VVC Test Model 6 (VTM 6) Algorithm and Encoder Description document provides an algorithm description as well as an encoder-side description of the VVC Test Model 6, which serves as a tutorial for the algorithm and encoding model implemented in the VTM6.x software.
An issue tracker (https://jvet.hhi.fraunhofer.de/trac/vvc) was used to facilitate the reporting of errata with the VVC documents.
Fourteen versions of JVET-O2001 were published by the Editing AHG between the 15th meeting in Gothenburg, SE (3–12 July 2019) and the 16th meeting in Geneva, CH (1–11 October 2019).
The input document JVET-P0113 has been prepared to provide integrations of a number of bug fixes reported in the bug tracking system as well as some other editorial changes made by the authors, based on the latest JVET output draft VVC text in JVET-O2001-vE.
Two versions of JVET-O2002 were published by the Editing AHG between the 15th meeting in Gothenburg, SE, (3–12 July 2019) and the 16th meeting in Geneva, CH, (1–11 October 2019).
The AHG recommends to:
- Approve the edited JVET-O2001 and JVET-O2002 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.
- Use the the editorial input and fixes for VVC draft 6 in JVET-P0113 as the basis for integration of adoptions of the 16th JVET meeting.
