Video coding is an essential component of video streaming, digital TV, video chat and many other technologies. This presentation, an invited lecture to the US Patent and Trade Mark Office, describes some of the key developments in the history of video coding.
Many of the components of present-day video codecs were originally developed before 1990. From 1990 onwards, developments in video coding were closely associated with industry standards such as MPEG-2, H.264 and H.265/HEVC.
The presentation covers:
- Basic concepts of video coding
- Fundamental inventions prior to 1990
- Industry standards from 1990 to 2014
- Video coding patents and patent pools.

ICME 2016 - High Efficiency Video Coding - Coding Tools and Specification: HE...Mathias Wien
The tutorial covers the complete HEVC standard, including all currently defined extensions (range extensions, scalability, multi-view, 3D video coding, and screen content coding). It further covers the state of the current activities on Free-Viewpoint Television and on High Dynamic Range + Wide Color Gamut Coding. The standard is assessed from various perspectives, including an algorithmic view on the video coding layer as well as a high-level / system-layer view on the network abstraction layer and the overall structure. The discussion includes a detailed treatment of the HEVC layer concept which allows for seamless incorporation of spatial and quality scalability as well as multi-view, 3D, or FTV extensions. The essential concepts and the coding tools comprised in each of the extensions are detailed and explained in the context of their respective application space. The tutorial further discusses the basic structure of specification text from a more abstract point of view as well as by concrete example in HEVC. For all mentioned perspectives, the tutorial develops the topic in a step-by-step fashion and gradually introduces concepts, algorithms, and terminology. Examples are provided at all levels of the presentation illustrating the concepts and deepening the understanding of the presented technology. Various demos are presented to visualize the algorithmic advancement. The tutorial is based on the book “High Efficiency Video Coding: Coding Tools and Specification” by the tutorial speaker which currently covers HEVC version 1. The tutorial shall enable the participants to understand the design principles and concepts behind the specification of HEVC. They shall recognize and understand the innovation of HEVC compared to the previous standards (esp. H.264/AVC) and regard the extensible nature of the specification design.

Encoding at Scale for Live Video StreamingRay Adensamer
Many of today’s live video encoding solutions require extensive compute resources, limiting the ability of live streaming business models to economically scale. This session, presented at Streaming Media West 2018, will introduce a new real-time video encoding solution, combining the performance of System-on-Chip (SoC) encoding, with innovations from NVMe-based cloud infrastructure, which together provides an economical and high quality solution to deliver encoding at scale for live video streaming.
The codec war is raging now more than ever before. The increased popularity of the proposed WebRTC protocol and the implied royalty costs make this a hot topic. Google, Cisco, Microsoft and now finally Apple are promoting their preferred technology and attempting to influence the choice to be made for WebRTC. The choice is far from clear especially in light of the latest technology advances, the transcoding infrastructure costs involved and the impact on mobile devices. In this session, Weemo will share its multi-year experience developing on top of the leading video and voice codecs. The speaker will provide some perspective on the advantages of each across devices taking into account hardware and software based video acceleration and the impact each have on the end user.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.
