in Deep Neural Network Communication” provides an overview of recent developments and challenges
in a new distributed paradigm where the neural networks themselves need to be communicated.
Finally, we round out our selection by including a paper on video quality measurement, a topic of great
importance and a major opportunity for affecting the direction of future technology developments. “A
Study of the Extended Perceptually Weighted Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (XPSNR) for Video
Compression with Different Resolutions and Bit Depths” proposes an extension of the perceptually
weighted PSNR objective signal quality measure to achieve fast and accurate estimation of the visual
quality of compressed video in broadcasting and streaming applications.
As we close our commentary, we would like to express our appreciation to everyone who has
contributed to this special issue. It is the tireless work of the reviewers, ITU staff members and authors
that made this special issue possible. We hope the readers will enjoy reading this special issue, and gain
insights into how our society will evolve in the future with these exciting technological advancements
in video and immersive media.
