av1-avif VS webp

The article is about avif not webp. Note the editors for the AOM avif specification don't even include Google https://aomediacodec.github.io/av1-avif/

This reminds me of something similar from the guy who implemented AVIF in Firefox. He gives a talk about the implementation [1] where he talks about the CLAP privacy problem. Basically the spec adds a field that allows for cropping of the image, but the binary file would still contain the original. This would lead users to believe some image data was deleted when it really wasn't. I always thought he spent a lot of time and effort on this for little gain, but now I'm starting to think it was worth his effort.

And the related GitHub issue: https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/av1-avif/issues/188

So actually the same images I linked above are in the AOMediaCodec repo as well, under Link-U: https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/av1-avif/tree/master/testFiles/Link-U And I see the same issue with the yuv422 images there as well. I'm guessing Apple's AVIF implementation must be incomplete?

Created by Alliance for Open Media and worked on by Netflix, Microsoft, and Google developers, AVIF is open source - you can even weigh in on image processing and spec issues.

I've been trying to find a way edit 14bit RAW files (.ARW) to an HDR capable format (HEIF/AVIF). In the process I found out there's an official AVIF encoder (1) by AOM that seems like it should be capable of creating HDR PQ stills.

Others samples are available here : https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/av1-avif/tree/master/testFiles/Netflix/avif

AVIF can do something that resembles hierarchical JPEG and that could be useful for progressive decoding: you can have multiple layers/scales, where e.g. first a 1:4 image is encoded, then residuals to get to 1:2, then residuals to get to 1:1. Examples of this were recently added to the AVIF spec: https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/av1-avif/pull/134

False. The patent license can be revoked only if you engage in patent trolling yourself. For those of us who are not crooks, it is effectively unencumbered.

WebP and AV1 are patent-encumbered as well.

Google provides a royalty-free patent license, which can be revoked.

Similarly, AOMedia has a "royalty-free patent licensing commitment from all AOMedia members", but that doesn't mean that AV1 users won't have to licence patents from non-members.
