研究目的
To evaluate the performance of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard compared to its predecessor, the Advanced Video Coding (AVC) standard, in terms of video compression efficiency and quality.
研究成果
The HEVC standard achieves the same subjective quality as AVC while requiring on average approximately 59% fewer bits, confirming its superior compression efficiency. The study successfully demonstrated that HEVC meets its development goal of significantly improved video compression compared to its predecessors.
研究不足
The study's limitations include the reliance on specific reference software encoders (HM and JM) which may not represent all possible encoding technologies. Additionally, the subjective quality assessments, while rigorous, are inherently variable due to human perception.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study compared the performance of HEVC and AVC standards using subjective and objective quality assessments. The test used video sequences with resolutions ranging from 480p to ultra-high definition, encoded at various quality levels using the HEVC Main profile and the AVC High profile.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Video sequences with different spatiotemporal characteristics were selected from various sources to ensure a wide range of content was tested.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The tests were performed using reference software encoders developed in the standardization work, known as the HEVC model (HM) for HEVC and the joint model (JM) for AVC.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Subjective tests were conducted under controlled laboratory environments adhering to ITU recommendations. Objective quality metrics like PSNR were also used for comparison.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The results were analyzed using statistical methods including student's t-test and Bj?ntegaard model to estimate bit rate savings and quality improvements.
