JVET-K0004 JVET AHG report: Test material and visual assessment (AHG4) [V. Baroncini, R. Chernyak, P. Hanhart, A. Norkin, T. Suzuki, J. Ye]
The test sequences used for CfP (JVET-H1002) were available on ftp://jvet@ftp.ient.rwth-aachen.de in directory “/jvet-cfp” (accredited members of JCT-VC may contact the JCT-VC chairs for login information).
Due to copyright restrictions, the JVET database of test sequences is only available to accredited members of JVET (i.e. members of ISO/IEC MPEG and ITU-T VCEG).
The test sequences were provided for JVET standardization purposes. The AHG recommended reminding the participants of the copyright terms of each of the test sequences. JVET members must not use JVET test sequences for purposes that are not allowed under the associated copyright release.
A contribution JVET-K0409 had been submitted regarding the copyright status of some test sequences.
New test sequences were offered by Tencent in JVET-K0294.
The AHG recommended:
- To review all related contribution
- To remind JVET members on copyright and usage of JVET test sequences
- To continue to collect new test sequences available for JVET with licensing statement
JVET members were reminded of the copyright issue and usage restrictions for the JVET database of test sequences. Each test sequence stored in the database is accompanied by information about its copyright status and the usage restrictions which need to be obeyed by those using the test sequences.
It was remarked that the CTC document describes where to find the test sequences for the CTC. It was requested to provide information in a revision of the AHG report about where to find the CTC sequences – perhaps just referring to the CTC document for where to get the information.
