There was an interesting comparison of image formats in 2016.

HEVC and Daala are on first place. Daala(or AV1 at this moment) already does better in these days

AV1 does better than it did, or better than HEVC and Daala do?

I can see a royalty-free AV1 as being an excellent still image codec, and potentially, finally, something that could replace JPEG on the web for continuous tone images.

Both statements are fine (in the context of that JPEG comparison)

Don't get your hopes up. Jpeg is rather resilient. Even google couldn't popularize webp. An there were a bunch of other formats that didn't gain any traction.
To me FLIF looks interesting for images, and it's a finished format. But I don't have high hopes that I'll be seeing anything new in the browser.

It's different. WebP was only Google's project. Even Mozilla haven't support it, heh. Nor Microsoft...
While AV1 is supported/promoted by many big players http://aomedia.org/about-us/
WebP is barely better than JPEG (~15-20%) while AV1, HEVC or Daala are considerably better than that.

Also JPEG is damn good image format. There is still no other image format with 2x better compression than JPEG.
While H.264 and HEVC already outperform MPEG-2 by more than 2x on wide range of bitrates.

The webp format didn't win with the whole jpeg family. The codec is also not a 16 bit. The codec AV1/Daala wasn't implemented to webp.
Apparently there is no need to do so.

Waiting for JPEG XS

You mean Google's project like Webm, and VP9? Those didn't get any input from others either, yet all relevant browsers support them now.
The only difference is that there's no JPEG in video formats, which is supported by everything anywhere.

Good my *ss, people just got used to it's many artifacts.

@ IgorC:

Obviously you don't understand the main difference between still image compression and video compression.

Motion prediction and inter-frame encoding.

One single image has no motion. No surprise there is less redundancy to spare. If you compared I-frame only MPEG-2 with I-frame only HEVC, the ratio would be similarly disappointing.

Sorry to dissapoint you but I do have concept of intra-/inter- prediction. I'm not new to Doom9 and image/video/audio compression.

So keep your speech for newbies.

Okay ... sorry for my bold expressions.

But expecting a 1:2 breakthrough in lossy still image compression sounds like a miracle to me, if I do not even expect that to happen in video compression.

Even more than the "revolutions" (e.g. something else than DCT windows) which happened from MP3 over VQF and Vorbis towards Opus in the audio world.

Something that might come at least close was V-Nova, the "noise modelling" in video compression, similar to mp3Pro and HE-AAC.

P.S.:

Wavelets instead of DCT was most probably not the expected miracle. At least not on its own...

Well, VP9 is considerably better than H.264 and VP8 at least on Youtube's bitrates (1080p ~1.7-2 Mbps)

While WebP is just somewhat better than JPEG.

If it was that bad there would multiple articles about how bad JPEG was.
And it's not the case.

Yes, 2x ratio is hard to achieve.

Considering that JPEG comparison (subjective MOS), Daala/HEVC were already approx ~1.6-1.7x of JPEG efficiency at MOS 4(perceptible but not annoying). And the efficiency is 1.2-1.4x at MOS 4.5

If AV1 will have ~10%(?) of better intra prediction then it will be ~1.8x of JPEG efficiency at MOS 4. Rough numbers.


As of audio, Opus, xHE-AAC(USAC) 80 kbps are on par with MP3 128 kbps in my experience. That's 1.6x
And a recent audio standard 3DA apparently will need ~64-72 kbps. That's 1.75-2x.

Daala in dark areas can more effectively save small details AV1 smears.

Do you know that this is due to bitstream differences versus encoder differences? The libvpx series was always tuned for PSNR which can result in this kind of issue.

New release (sporadically from now on): AOM v0.1.0-7288-gbddba0a08 (MABS: MSYS2/MinGW, GCC 7.2.0)

I will ask this controversial question.
What about the Daala project? Is it closed, will it be resumed?

Daala code that proved to be useful was merged into AV1, also the developers moved to AV1.
For some background see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOMedia_Video_1

Daala is likely to be continued after AV1 as an experimental codec. It achieved near HEVC quality levels without even nearly being finished (it doesn't even have B-Frames yet) and compared to AV1 it is much less complex. So let's see...

Even if Daala does not develop into a competitive next-gen Internet codec. I think it has real potential to at least fill some niches:

* Still images!
* Broadcasting internal usage (replace Dirac, VC-2).
* Intermediate codec (replace ProRes).

Unfortunately, I don't see Mozilla diverting resources away from AV1 (and Opus) anytime soon.
