Aula Riunioni DII, Via Caruso 16 Piano Terra

ABSTRACT:
The state of video codecs is strong and dynamic. This talk will start by explaining why that is, followed by a review of the two most recent video compression standards: AV1 and VVC. Before deep diving into AV1 and VVC tools and performance, a high-level overview of block-based video coding concepts and terminologies will be presented. Deployment and market adoption of these two video codec standards will be presented as well. The talk will end with the presentations with conclusions and take aways.
