Question 6/16 summary
Question 6/16 met for three sessions during the SG16 meeting, with the primary goals to review the progress of Q6/16, JVET, and JPEG work, prepare texts for Consent, and plan for additional work items. On topics related to the coding of video, a substantial portion of the video coding work of Question 6/16 is being conducted jointly with ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29 in JVET. A meeting of JVET was held in coordination with this meeting of SG16, although that current meeting of JVET was held in Mainz, Germany, on an exceptional basis under the auspices of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29 rather than the auspices of SG16 due to difficulties with facilities arrangements. Remote access to the JVET and SG16 meetings was made available, such that it was possible for attendees to participate in both meetings. JVET is tasked with maintenance and enhancement of H.26x video coding Recommendations including VVC, HEVC, and AVC, and the associated Rec. H.274 VSEI and Rec. H.273 CICP standards, and some other related matters. JVET has also been conducting exploration studies of future video coding technologies. A joint meeting of Q6/16 with SC 29/AG 2, SC 29/WG 2, SC 29/WG 4 and SC 29/WG 5 was held during the current meeting of SG16 regarding MPEG's exploration on video coding for machines (VCM), which aims to improve the ability to effectively apply machine analysis technology to decoded video. Summaries of the responses to a VCM Call for Proposals and a VCM Call for Evidence were provided to Question 6/16, and areas of joint interest were discussed at length. A significant outcome of the joint meeting was the agreement to jointly develop a Supplement in ITU-T and a corresponding Technical Report in ISO/IEC on methods for using an existing video coding standard with specialized non-normative optimization of encoders and receiving systems to improve the results of machine-analysis tasks, and it was agreed to develop that Supplement in the JVET joint collaborative team. A corresponding new work item (provisionally named ITU-T H.Sup.MACVC "Optimization of encoders and receiving systems for machine analysis of coded video content") was added to the work programme. A planned revision of the Rec. H.273 coding-independent code points specification was also added to the work programme. On topics related to the coding of images, a substantial portion of the image coding work of Question 6/16 is conducted jointly with ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG 1 (JPEG). On topics related to the coding of images, Q6/16 forwarded one new Recommendation (T.816 V1) and two revised Recommendations (T.807 V2 and T.808 V2) for AAP Consent. All three of these are common text with ISO/IEC. Also added to the work programme were three planned revisions of other image coding related Recommendations, thus bringing the total number of new work items started by Q6/16 at this meeting to five. Work was not stopped on any work items by Q6/16.
On matters relating to other types of signals than video and imagery, Q6/16 also produced a corrigendum for G.168 "Digital network echo cancellers" for Consent. Thus, a total of four texts for Consent were produced by Q6/16 at this meeting. Q6/16 is planning to hold two Rapporteur meetings and two JVET meetings before the next SG16 meeting around July 2023 and to also hold a JVET meeting in a collocated fashion with that next SG16 meeting under its auspices. The Question prepared five outgoing Liaison Statements.
Question 8/16 summary
Question 8/16 met for seven sessions during this SG16 meeting, chaired by the Rapporteur, Mr Hideo Imanaka (NICT, Japan), and acting associate rapporteur, Mr Jiro Nagao (NTT, Japan).

As the result, draft Recommendations H.IIS-Reqts, H.430.3 and H.ILE-Haptic, were updated according to the discussion results of contributions and liaisons. One new work item, H.IIS-FA: Functional architecture of IIS system, was established, and no existing items were discontinued. Eight outgoing LSs were agreed. Q8/16 will have one interim rapporteur group rapporteur meeting in May or April 2023. In this meeting, Mr Jiro Nagao (NTT, Japan) was proposed and agreed as a new associate rapporteur.
Question 11/16 summary
Question 11/16 had a successful meeting and looked at proposed corrections of errors found in H.245 (v17). Q11/16 reviewed final text for a new corrigendum and amendment to the common text ITU-T Rec. H.222.0 | ISO/IEC 13818-1. Q11/16 proposed two corrigenda and one amendment for Consent. The Question does not plan to hold any interim Rapporteurs meeting and did not produce any outgoing LSs.
