High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)

23008-2) next-generation video coding standard by the JCT-VC committee of ITU-T and ISO/IEC. Within the JCT-VC committee he has helped co-ordinate sub-group activities on spatial transforms, quantization, entropy coding, in-loop filtering, intra prediction, screen content coding and scalable HEVC (SHVC). Dr. Budagavi received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Texas A & M University. He has published six book chapters and over 35 journal and conference papers. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE.

Gary J. Sullivan is a Video and Image Technology Architect at Microsoft Corporation in its Corporate Standardization Group. He has been a longstanding chairman or co-chairman of various video and image coding standardization activities in ITU-T VCEG, ISO/IEC MPEG, ISO/IEC JPEG, and in their joint collaborative teams since 1996. He is best known for leading the development of the AVC (ITU-T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496-10) and HEVC (ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2) standards, and the extensions of those standards for format application range enhancement, scalable video coding, and 3D / stereoscopic / multiview video coding. At Microsoft, he has been the originator and lead designer of the DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) video decoding feature of the Microsoft Windows operating system. Dr. Sullivan received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles. He has published approximately 10 book chapters and prefaces and 50 conference and journal papers and is a listed inventor of approximately 50 granted U.S. patents and various pending and non-U.S. patents. He has received the IEEE Masaru Ibuka Consumer Electronics Technical Field Award, the IEEE Consumer Electronics Engineering Excellence Award, the Best Paper award of the IEEE Trans. CSVT, the INCITS Technical Excellence Award, the IMTC Leadership Award and the University of Louisville J. B. Speed Professional Award in Engineering. The team efforts that he has led have been recognized by an ATAS Primetime Emmy Engineering Award and a pair of NATAS Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and SPIE.
