Video compression: Discussing the next steps

Video compression has been intensively evolving for more than 20 years. Until recently, around 50% compression gains every 5 years were obtained, resulting in the current set of video coding standards. More recently, after the development of the very successful H.264/AVC standard, compression gains have been short and more difficult to reach than usual. In this context, this talk will discuss the future of video compression considering the emerging industry needs, notably in terms of promising technological novelties, and recent standardization initiatives targeting 3D video and further video compression efficiency.
