HDR Video Compression Using High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is only a matter of time before High Dynamic Range (HDR) video content becomes commercially available. It is necessary, therefore, to develop proper video compression standards that address the peculiarities of this content and enable the introduction of this technology to the consumer market. So far there is no dedicated standard for HDR content. This paper investigates the performance of the emerging High Efficient Video Coding (HEVC) standard on HDR content and compares it with that of the H.264/AVC standard. Performance evaluations show that HEVC outperforms the H.264/AVC standard by 22.47% to 58.61% in terms of bitrate or 1.02 dB to 4.88 dB in terms of PSNR in the case of HDR content. Keywords-HEVC; H.264/AVC; HDR compression

Fast Intra Mode Decision for Depth Map coding in 3D-HEVC Standard
three dimensional- high efficiency video coding (3D-HEVC) is the expanded version of the latest video compression standard, namely high efficiency video coding (HEVC), which is used to compress 3D videos. 3D videos include texture video and depth map. Since the statistical characteristics of depth maps are different from those of texture videos, new tools have been added to the HEVC standard fo...
متن کاملA Fast Block Size Decision For Intra Coding in HEVC Standard
Intra coding in High efficiency video coding (HEVC) can significantly improve the compression efficiency using 35 intra-prediction modes for 2N×2N (N is an integer number ranging from six to two) luma blocks. To find the luma block with the minimum rate-distortion, it must perform 11932 different rate-distortion cost calculations. Although this approach improves coding efficiency compared to th...

Scene change detection plays an important role in a number of video applications, including video indexing, searching, browsing, semantic features extraction, and, in general, pre-processing and post-processing operations. Several scene change detection methods have been proposed in different coding standards. Most of them use fixed thresholds for the similarity metrics to determine if there wa...
متن کاملSubjective and Objective Evaluation of Hdr Video Compression
Recent efforts by MPEG and research community to standardize high dynamic range (HDR) video compression require efficient objective metrics. This paper investigates how well the currently available metrics measure perceptual quality of HDR video. For this purpose, subjective tests were conducted using SIM2 HDR monitor and several video sequences provided by MPEG. The sequences were compressed w...
