One of the ongoing JPEG activities is JPEG AIC which targets the assessment of image coding quality. This activity aims to develop methods for subjective and objective image quality assessment with the goal to support developing image coding standards and implementations. For subjective assessment, the AIC-3 methodology is in the final stages of standardization and will be published as ISO/IEC 29170-3. For objective assessment, the JPEG Committee is con-sidering initiating a new Part, AIC-4, of the JPEG AIC project.

The Final Call for Proposals (CfP) on Objective Image Quality Assessment and was issued as an outcome of the 107th JPEG meeting, 14-18 April 2025. The deadline for ex-pression of interest and registration is planned to be June 15, 2025. Submissions to the Call for Proposals are planned to be due September 29, 2025.

Along with the Call for Proposals the following documents are available:
