Daala Planning

This is an overview of the Daala project roadmap.

Plans for 2014

See this etherpad for details. Most information has moved there. See also the weekly meeting minutes on Daala for current efforts.

Plans for September, 2013 to March, 2014

Improve existing techniques

Examining and significantly modifying some of the basic coding tools within Daala to improve efficiency and quality:

1) Lapped Transforms

2) Frequency Domain Intraprediction

3) Time/Frequency resolution switching

4) Chroma from Luma

5) Motion Compensation tools

Research new techniques

Investigate the following to see if they should be adopted into Daala:

1) Edge-directed Interpolation

2) Multi-frame Motion Compensation

Testing tools

1) Experiment with command-line encode/decode/performance tools

  • Help people try the codec
  • Self-testing
  • Improvement metrics for casual contributors to verify changes

2) Prototype RTP in GIPS/webrtc.org/browser code

3) Prototype HTTP streaming.

Plans for March, 2014 to September, 2014

From March, 2014 to June, 2014: Tuning the various coding tools and components of Daala (assumes investigation and major modifications of the basic coding tools are completed)

By September, 2014: Be able to show significant quality improvements compared to Daala's performance today (September, 2013).

Progress and planning tools we'll use along the way:

  • Every 6-8 weeks the team will report on what he has accomplished.
  • Every month the team will create a detailed task list of what they plan to do for that month.
