• Contributions to JPEG Pleno and AIC Standardisation for Light and Radiance Fields

Digitisation of European Industry

The work carried out in our working group, has several direct societal impact,including: Sustainable Growth - Digitisation of European Industry: As these techniques are very important for the future evolution of multimedia technology. Even if this models do not reach the general public, they are already used in specialized markets, like maintenance and health applications. Sustainable Growth - Robotics and autonomous systems: Plenoptic models have been considered for instance for autonomous driving. Radiance Fields are technologies developed for robotic applications. Key Enablers - Artificial Intelligence: Learning based solutions are currently being researched for data representation. JPEG AI and JPEG Pleno Learning based Point Cloud Coding are already two projects that use Learning based technology to enable data representation with very low bit rates . and also for Internet of Things (IoT): These models will provide reliable formats for the 3D description of the environment, which by its nature is of special importance fro IoT technology.

• Support of JPEG Calls for Proposals responses on Objectives Quality Assessment Evaluation

Digitisation of European Industry

The JPEG standardisation on quality evaluation will have strong impact in the definition of future JPEG standardized solutions, also these standards are iinstrumental for Europeans SMEs in the field, like intoPIX. Also, JPEG is developing Standardised solutions with Prophese and Omnnivision. In consequence, the development of this new standard is creating new business possibilities in the multimedia and its applications technological market based on the advances that result from the development. Notably, it is important to emphasise that the most active teams in the development of the JPEG standards are European groups that have been collaborating for its development.
