The tutorial provides an overview on the latest emerging video coding standard VVC (Versatile Video Coding) to be jointly published by ITU-T and ISO/IEC. It has been developed by the Joint Video Experts Team (JVET), consisting of ITU-T Study Group 16 Question 6 (known as VCEG) and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11 (known as MPEG). VVC has been designed to achieve significantly improved compression capability compared to previous standards such as HEVC, and at the same time to be highly versatile for effective use in a broadened range of applications.

The emergence of advanced imaging display technologies, either existing or highly anticipated, has motivated new ways to contemplate the production and service delivery of media in order to enable new and immersive user experiences. Whether it be VR gaming, telepresence, spatial computing, lean-back viewing, or experiencing the reality of a futuristic holodeck scene, the applications facilitated by emerging advanced-imaging displays have begun to test the limits of existing 2D video workflows and formats.

The goal of the ICASSP-2017 tutorial is to provide a concise overview of the computational aspects of human attention as applied to multimodal signal processing and multimodal (i.e., audio-visual-text) salient event detection in multimodal information streams, such as videos with audio and text.
