[video-codec] Thor drafts

["Arild Fuldseth (arilfuld)" <[e-mail]>]

Dear all,

The latest update to the Thor draft (-01) includes two main changes, along with some editorial changes.

1. Biprediction: A new biprediction technique synthesizes new reference frames using interpolation from other reference frames. A separate draft (draft-davies-netvc-irfvc-00) was submitted on this technique which may be usable by other codecs beyond Thor.

2. Low Pass Filter: The original Constrained Low Pass Filter, which is an in-loop filter separate from the deblocking filter, was updated with a new design. A separate draft (draft-midtskogen-netvc-clpf-00) was submitted on this filter which may be usable by other codecs beyond Thor. It covers the generalized filter as well as the specific simplifications used in the Thor implementation.

Regards,
Thor team

Abstract:
   This document provides a high-level description of the Thor video
   codec.  Thor is designed to achieve high compression efficiency with
   moderate complexity, using the well-known hybrid video coding
   approach of motion-compensated prediction and transform coding.
