Video is everywhere in modern society, from short clips to teleconferences and traditional broadcasting. Advanced video codecs make this possible by compressing massive amounts of data, but as coding efficiency improves, the computational complexity of encoding skyrockets. M.Sc. Joose Sainio’s doctoral research tackles this challenge by developing practical methods for implementing the latest video coding standard, Versatile Video Coding (VVC). Sainio’s work demonstrates that transforming an HEVC encoder into a VVC encoder provides a solid and efficient foundation for building practical VVC implementations.
The doctoral dissertation of MSc Joose Sainio in the field of computer engineering titled Design of a Practical Intra Encoder for Versatile Video Coding will be publicly examined at the Faculty of Information Technology and Communication at Tampere University.
The Opponents will be Prof. Dr.-Ing. Heiko Schwarz, Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications Heinrich Hertz Institute, Germany and apl. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Mathias Wien, RWTH Aachen University, Germany. The Custos will be Prof. Jarno Vanne from Tampere University.
