Hello, Nice to post here again! I wanted to give you a quick update of the NHW Project as I met great people on this forum. It is one year that I did not work on the NHW Project.I however made from time to time some visual comparison with other codecs on my spare time. Based on my visual comparison tests and subjective opinion, I can confirm that I still find the NHW Project visually more pleasant than other codecs like AOM AV1, HEVC, x265, JPEG XL,... because it has more neatness, for high quality to very high compression, up to -l13 quality setting for now.-As I also told you (many times!...), the NHW Project is extremely fast to encode/decode, a lot faster than these codecs, and is royalty-free. Unfortunately what I can also confirm, is that the industry is definitely not interested in the NHW Project (some major big companies still don't want to evaluate/take a look at the NHW Project...)-: ).So now I am trying to find niche use cases for my codec, and small companies/ecosystem that could be interested in my work and that could support me to develop it into something professional and deployable (like adapting the NHW Project to any image size, quality/compression improvements,...). If you would know such niche use cases and companies that could be interested in the NHW Project, do not hesitate to let me know. Any answer/feedback from the Theora community (if you have time) would be great! Cheers, Raphael -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi Raphael,> the NHW Project is extremely fast to encode/decode, a lot faster than > these codecsJust a thought - maybe live video streaming from micro-controller based devices could be a good application domain for your codec? At the beginning, just sending sequence of single frames (similar to MJPEG). Typical videocodecs are usually too calculation-intensive for micro-controllers. Maybe you can ride this IoT hype wave ;-) Best regards, Andrey.
Hi Andrey, Thank you very much for your answer and your help!> maybe live video streaming from micro-controller based > devices could be a good application domain for your codec?Very good suggestion! as I think the NHW Project could be a good solution for this very interesting domain, because compared to MJPEG, it has a better quality/compression and it can be faster to encode/decode! The problem that will arise is that's right MJPEG is used because of its very low complexity but also because of the widespread support of JPEG like in web browsers... But I think it can be worth to approach the live video streaming micro-controller based devices ecosystem.I will search the Internet for these companies.Really if you have time, would you know a person, an authority in this area that I could contact? Many thanks again!
