JVET AHG report: Enhanced compression beyond VVC capability (AHG12)
Abstract
This document reports the work of the JVET ad hoc group on enhanced compression beyond VVC capability (AHG12) between the 40th meeting, Geneva, CH, 3-12 October 2025, and the 41st meeting, by teleconference, 14-23 January 2026.
JVET-AO0012 JVET AHG report: Enhanced compression beyond VVC capability (AHG12) [M. Karczewicz, Y. Ye, L. Zhang (co-chairs), B. Bross, R. Chernyak, X. Li, K. Naser, Y. Yu (vice-chairs)]

Activities

The primary activity of the AHG was the “Exploration experiment on enhanced compression beyond VVC capability” (JVET-AN2024). The combined improvements of the ECM-19.0 over VTM-11.0ecm19.0 anchor for AI, RA and LB configurations are:

The rate reduction for natural sequences over VTM in RA configuration for {Y, U, V} increased from ECM-18.0’s {-27.37%, -29.94%, -32.58%} to ECM-19.0’s {-27.55%, -30.40%, -33.11%}. For SCC sequences (class TGM) the rate reduction for RA configuration changed from ECM-18.0’s -43.07%, -48.90%, -48.87} to ECM-19.0’s { -43.03%, -48.96%, -48.99%}.
