Seishi Takamura · NTT technical review · 2019
The scope of Subcommittee (SC) 29 of ISO/IEC (International Organization for Standardization/ International Electrotechnical Commission) Joint Technical Committee 1 is coding of audio, picture, multimedia, and hypermedia information.Working Group (WG) 11, part of SC 29, is standardizing video coding, media transmission, streaming, audio coding, image/video retrieval, and genomic information coding.In April 2018, WG 11 initiated standardization of next-generation video coding called Versatile Video Coding (VVC), which is aimed at achieving higher compression, in conjunction with ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union -Telecommunication Standardization Sector) Study Group 19.This article introduces the background, target, and recent development status of VVC.
