_____________________________ Summary The Joint Video Experts Team (JVET) of ITU-T WP3/16 and ISO/IEC JTC 1/‌SC 29 held its twenty-sixth meeting during 20–29 April 2022 as an online-only meeting. It had previously been planned to be in Alpbach, AT, but this plan was changed due to the difficulties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. For ISO/IEC purposes, JVET is alternatively designated ISO/IEC JTC 1/‌SC 29/‌WG 5, and this was the seventh meeting as WG 5. The JVET meeting was held under the chairmanship of Dr Jens-Rainer Ohm (RWTH Aachen/Germany). For rapid access to particular topics in this report, a subject categorization is found (with hyperlinks) in section REF _Ref502857719 \r \h 2.14 of this document. It is further noted that work items which had originally been conducted by the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC) were continued in JVET as a single joint team, and explorations towards possible future need of standardization in the area of video coding are also conducted by JVET, as negotiated by the parent bodies. The JVET meeting began at approximately 0500 hours UTC on Wednesday 20 April 2022. Meeting sessions were held on all days except the weekend days of Saturday and Sunday 23 and 24 April 2022, until the meeting was closed at approximately 0XXX hours UTC on Saturday 30 April 2022. Approximately XXX people attended the JVET meeting, and approximately XXX input documents (not counting crosschecks), 13 AHG reports, 2 EE summary reports, X BoG reports, and 1 report on expert viewing conducted prior to the meeting were discussed. The meeting took place in coordination with a meeting of various SC29 Working Groups and Advisory Groups – where WG 5 is representing the Joint Video Coding Team(s) and their activities from the perspective of the SC 29 parent body, under whose auspices this JVET meeting was held. The subject matter of the JVET meeting activities consisted of work on further development and maintenance of the twin-text video coding technology standards Advanced Video Coding (AVC), High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), Versatile Video Coding (VVC), Coding-independent Code Points (Video) (CICP), and Versatile Supplemental Enhancement Information Messages for Coded Video Bitstreams (VSEI), as well as related technical reports, reference software and conformance testing packages. Further important goals were reviewing the results of the Exploration Experiment (EE) on Neural Network-based Video Coding, of the EE on Enhanced Compression beyond VVC capability, of other technical input on novel aspects of video coding technology, and to plan next steps for investigation of candidate technology towards further standard development. As a primary goal, the JVET meeting reviewed the work that was performed in the interim period since the twenty-fifth JVET meeting in producing the following documents: JVET-Y1002 High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) Test Model 16 (HM 16) Encoder Description Update 16 JVET-Y1004 Errata report items for VVC, VSEI, HEVC, AVC, Video CICP, and CP usage TR JVET-Y1005 New levels for HEVC (Draft 2), also issued as WG 5 CDAM JVET-Y1100 Common Test Conditions for HM Video Coding Experiments JVET-Y2002 Algorithm description for Versatile Video Coding and Test Model 16 (VTM 16) JVET-Y2005 VVC operation range extensions (Draft 6), also integrated into VVC version 2 which was submitted as WG 5 FDIS and for ITU consent JVET-Y2006 Additional SEI messages for VSEI (Draft 6), also integrated into VSEI version 2 which was submitted as WG 5 FDIS and for ITU consent JVET-Y2009 Reference software for versatile video coding (Draft 3), also submitted as WG 5 FDIS and for ITU consent JVET-Y2010 VTM common test conditions and software reference configurations for SDR video JVET-Y2011 VTM common test conditions and evaluation procedures for HDR/WCG video JVET-X2017 Common test conditions and evaluation procedures for enhanced compression tool testing JVET-Y2019 New level and systems-related supplem

FAQs

When and how was the JVET 26th meeting conducted?
