What is the Video Coding Contribution Search?
The video coding contribution search functionality on the IPlytics Platform is an essential tool for exploring the collaborative efforts that drive the development of advanced video coding standards such as AVC (Advanced Video Coding), HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), and VVC (Versatile Video Coding).
These standards are critical for efficient video compression and transmission, making it vital for companies involved in multimedia technology to understand the landscape of contributions that shape these standards.
How to conduct the search
The IPlytics Platform provides a robust search interface that allows users to delve into detailed data on video coding contributions. Users can explore contributions made by various companies and organizations to standard-setting bodies like JVT, JCT-VC, and JVET. You can access the video contribution data in the standard database using the 'Data Provider' search field:

Analytics View
In the analytics view, users can visualize and analyze the distribution of contributions across different companies and technologies. This feature provides valuable insights into the collaborative landscape of video coding standardization efforts, helping users understand the key players and their roles in shaping these critical standards.
Search Data View
Furthermore, the search data view allows you to check the specific contributions and allows you to export the contribution information in a table view:
Contribution Weight
A key feature of the video coding contribution data is the "Contribution Weight," which accounts for contributions supported by multiple organizations. Each contribution is represented as a single row in the search data view, regardless of the number of supporting companies. The "Contribution Weight" is calculated as 1 divided by the number of supporting organizations (N), providing a fractional representation of each company's involvement. For example, if a contribution is supported by five companies, each company would have a contribution weight of 0.2.
Supporting Organizations
The platform also includes a "Supporting Organizations Count" to indicate the number of companies involved in a contribution. While the "First Supporting Organization" is listed, it is considered a random selection and does not hold additional significance in the analysis. To determine the number of contributions per company, users should aggregate the "Contribution Weight" assigned to each company.
Incorporated
For VVC contributions, the platform provides an additional status of "Incorporated," which was created with the help of external experts. This status indicates that certain contributions have been approved and integrated into the VVC standard, offering users a clearer understanding of the contributions' impact on the standardization process.
Summary
Overall, the video coding contribution search and contribution weight metrics on the IPlytics Platform offer a comprehensive view of the collaborative efforts in video coding standardization, empowering users to make informed decisions and strategic plans based on detailed contribution data.
