JVET-AL0061 AHG 9: Encoder optimization information for AVC and HEVC [C. Kim, H. Tan, J. Nam, J. Lee, J. Lim, S. Kim (LGE)]

The encoder optimization information (EOI) SEI message is used to indicate optimizations that may have been applied during pre-processing or encoding. This SEI message has been developed and incorporated into VSEI V4 draft and also the interface for its use in VVC is available. It is asserted that EOI SEI message can also be used and beneficial for contents coded with codecs earlier than VVC such as AVC and HEVC.

This contribution proposes to include EOI SEI message in the new edition of AVC and HEVC specification.

Agreed in principle to include this. The proposal does not include the restriction concerning QP range of JVET-AL0057 which is asserted to be necessary for both AVC and HEVC.

A merge request for software was already submitted for JM and HM.

ID 215 is proposed to be used for all standards.

Proponents of JVET-AL0057 and JVET-AL0061 are requested to make a joint proposal for texts in AVC and HEVC, and also check if the QP range constraint needs to be implemented in software. A follow-up review based on JVET-AL0061 v2 was done on Friday 4 April (it was reported by proponents that it appeared not necessary to submit a formal joint contribution). This includes text for similar QP range constraints for AVC and HEVC. Checking of the constraint also needs software implementation, and new merge requests will be submitted by proponents of JVET-AL0057.

Decision: Adopt JVET-AL0061v2 for JVET-AL1006 and JVET-AL-1017.
