International standardization: how it works and why it is needed. New video coding standards: H.266/VVC, MPEG-5/EVC, and emerging JPEG AI

Sergey and his colleagues were actively involved in the development of the latest H.266/VVC and MPEG-5/EVC video coding standards. In the report you will learn who and how international standards are developed, how the procedure is organized, and what phases the project goes through from the initial concept to the final specification.

The talk includes an overview of the latest H.266/VVC and MPEG-5/EVC standards. In addition, you will learn about new approaches to image compression based on neural networks, as well as how the new JPEG AI standard is being developed.
