ITU-T VCEG (Q6/16) and ISO/IEC MPEG (JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11) are studying the potential need for standardization of future video coding technology with a compression capability that significantly exceeds that of the current HEVC standard (including its current extensions). The groups are working together on this exploration activity in a joint collaboration effort known as the Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET) to evaluate compression technology designs proposed by their experts in this area.
This document is the Joint Exploration Model 7 (JEM 7) algorithm description. It describes the coding features that are under coordinated test model study by JVET as potential enhanced video coding technology. The description of encoding strategies used in experiments for the study of the new technology in the JEM is also provided.
