From nhwcodec at gmail.com Wed Oct 6 18:04:15 2021 From: nhwcodec at gmail.com (Raphael Canut) Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2021 20:04:15 +0200 Subject: [theora] NHW Project Message-ID: Hello, I have (slowly) worked these last couple weeks on the psychovisual model of NHW because some people reproach me that it washes details out... so I restored a little more details but this consumes some bits and actually it turned out that it also decreases neatness, and so when you compare at the same compression ratio, actually I find the current version visually better because it has a better neatness despite washing out details. So I would like to put forward that the main concept of NHW is neatness (and also ultra-fast encoding/decoding), it's a total different approach from AV1, VVC,... that relies on precision, but I start to find (and this is my personal opinion based on my visual appreciation) that the current version of NHW could prove the viability of neatness and of the NHW technology.We can still improve it, but on the other side I am more and more pessimistic that the industry would like to consider NHW, as for example I have totally lost contacts, with AOM, MPEG, some major companies,... since 2 years now. Again, I write this message because I believe in my technology (and I am certainly the only one currently) and so I would like to develop it, and notably change my very difficult current structure with absolutely no support that only allows me to work on NHW on my very few spare time.If you think you can help me, like for example renewing contact with the industry that is very cold with the NHW technology, please do not hesitate to answer, it would be great!
