Geneva, Switzerland – 26th November 2025. MPAI – Moving Picture, Audio and Data Coding by Artificial Intelligence – the international, non-profit, unaffiliated organisation developing AI-based data coding standards – has concluded its 62nd General Assembly (MPAI-62) publishing the EVC-UFV Up-sampling Filter for Video applications standard.
Technical Specification: AI-Enhanced Video Coding (MPAI-EVC) – Up-sampling Filter for Video applications (EVC-UFV) V1.0 (https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-evc/ufv/v1-0/) provides two standard methodologies 1) to design AI-based Super-resolution up-sampling filters for video applications and 2) to reduce the complexity of the designed filters without substantially affecting their performance. The parameters provided in EVC-UFV standard may be used to test the filter performance. Alternatively, an application at https://experts.mpai.community/software/evc/ufv1_0/ can be used to submit an image and receive an up-sampled version of the image.
After publishing the Autonomous User Architecture Call for Technologies (https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-pgm/aua/v1-0/) , MPAI has extended its Tentative Technical Specification: Pursuing Goal in metaverse (MPAI-PGM) – Autonomous User Architecture (PGM-AUA https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-pgm/aua/v1-0/#Tentative) originally attached to the Call. This addendum is a concrete example of the standard that MPAI seeks to develop with the PGM-AUA Call. Respondents to the Call are encouraged to read, comment on, change, or extend this document in their responses. Alternatively, they can submit their responses with a content unrelated to this document but relevant to the Call. The video recording of the online presentation of the Call is available at https://mpai.community/community/presentations/. Deadline for submissions is 19 January 2026.
Legal entities and representatives of academic departments supporting the MPAI mission and able to contribute to the development of standards for the efficient use of data can become MPAI members (https://mpai.community/2022/11/02/seven-good-reasons-to-join-mpai/).
