Terms of reference: Development of coding and compression of digital representations and descriptions of moving pictures generated or captured by any technology; efficiency evaluation of coding systems and content description methods related to visual information; implementation feasibility analysis of coding systems and content description methods, with the following programme of work
- Serve as responsible body within ISO/IEC for recommending a set of standards consistent with the scope;
- Cooperate with other standardisation bodies dealing with similar applications;
- Define and collect test material and information target presentation devices;
- Establish performance and complexity analysis criteria;
- Develop methods for subjective assessment;
- Carry out performance analysis by core experiments;
- Perform complexity analysis for representative sets of tools and algorithms;
- Develop and test efficient coding-decoding algorithms based on responses to Calls for Proposals;
- Evaluate coding techniques and descriptions based on their performance by subjective testing, efficiency with respect to software and hardware implementation, and feasibility of systems architectures;
- Develop international standards for coding and compression of digital representations and descriptions of moving pictures and immersive video content captured or generated with any technology;
- Provide source code implementation of proposed standards;
- Solicit inputs from and liaise with external bodies;
- Perform explorations on new technology trend areas within the scope of work.
