Question 6

​Visual, audio and signal coding

(Continuation of Question 6/16 and Question 7/16)

Motivation
The goal of this Question is to produce Recommendations for visual, speech, audio and signal coding methods appropriate for conversational (e.g. videoconferencing and video telephony) and non-conversational (e.g. multimedia streaming, broadcast TV, IPTV, file download, media storage/playback, remote screen display, digital cinema, or virtual & augmented reality) audiovisual services and other services. The Question is to focus primarily on the coding of visual signals, including the compression of:
This Question will primarily focus on the maintenance and extension of existing video and still-image coding Recommendations, and laying the ground for new Recommendations using advanced techniques to significantly improve the trade-offs between bit rate, quality, delay, and algorithm complexity. The Question will also be responsible for maintenance and further developments in speech, audio coding and other signal coding and network-based signal processing. Video, still-image, speech, audio and other signal coding standards will be developed with sufficient flexibility to accommodate a diverse number of transport types (Internet, LAN, 5G and other mobile networks, ITU-T H.222.0, etc.).
