Following the publication of the VVC standard in 2020, JVET has been exploring candidate technologies for a beyond VVC codec.
ECM is one of the major candidates for beyond VVC, and includes many enhancements and new technologies to boost compression rate and efficiency.
Wilus has been participating in both the VVC and ECM standardization processes and has submitted numerous technical contributions to JVET to help bring new codec technologies to a market.
Dr. Kyungyong Kim and Dongcheol Kim, Wilus video codec experts, submitted a paper about recent ECM technologies to KIBME journal and it was published on Jan. 30, 2024. The ISSN and a link with more information can be found below.
