چکیده

Video communication is rapidly becoming one of the most important parts of the information infrastructure. Unlike text or image, video communication requires huge volumes of data being transmitted in a timely manner, so highly efficient compression must be used. In order to allow the interrelation among different kinds of terminals and networks to be implemented, a big effort was done in the last decade to standardize the video coding process, resulting in a large number of standards such as: H.261, H.263 and H.263+ from ITU; MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 from ISO and the H.264/AVC. In the BETSY project several video scenarios are presented. According to the scenario characteristics and needs, suitable video codecs need to be selected. This document provides an inventory of MPEG-4 codecs and evaluates the suitability of the different codecs and profiles for our scenarios. The MPEG-4 Part 2 Simple Profile codec appears as a suitable candidate as it provides the needed adaptability to varying bandwidth and processing constraints, while at the same time presenting a good tradeoff in terms of performance and complexity. If the need for higher coding efficiency and resilience capacities justifies a complexity increase, a simple configuration of the Advanced Video Codec (MPEG-4 Part 10) may be taken under consideration.

Objective Evaluation of Edge Blur and Ringing Artefacts: Application to JPEG and JPEG 2000 Image Codecs

This paper presents a method of objective evaluation of the edge blur and ringing artefacts produced by image codecs. It is difficult to detect and measure individual artefacts in coded images. A synthetic test image is developed to separate and measure edge blur and ringing artefacts due to image compression. The influence of pixel intensity gradient on the quality metrics is investigated, the...

Evaluations of High Quality, Multichannel Audio Codecs Carried out on Behalf of Iso/iec Mpeg

BBC R&D has been conducting audio tests for and on behalf of ISO/IEC MPEG since 1973. This report summarises the more important of those tests and the methods used for the assessments. Systems tested include MPEG-2 Layers II and III, as well as the more recent Non-Backwards Compatible codecs. It is reported that the optimisation is still in progress. No part of this publication may be reproduce...

MPEG-4 facial animation in video analysis and synthesis

MPEG-4 supports the definition, encoding, transmission, and animation of 3-D head and body models. These features can be used for a variety of different applications ranging from low bit-rate video coding to character and avatar animation. In this paper, an entire system for the analysis of facial expressions from image sequences and their synthesis is presented. New methods for the estimation ...

An Audio Codec for Multiple Generations Compression without Loss of Perceptual Quality

We describe a generic audio codec allowing for multiple, i.e., cascaded, lossy compression without loss of perceptual quality as compared to the first generation of compressed audio. For this sake we transfer encoding information to all subsequent codecs in a cascade. The supplemental information is embedded in the decoded audio signal without causing degradations. The new method is applicable ...

Subjective quality of internet video codecs - Phase 2 evaluations using SAMVIQ

In order to evaluate the performance of video codecs for the internet, EBU Project Group B/VIM has developed a new subjective evaluation methodology called SAMVIQ (Subjective Assessment Methodology for Video Quality). This new methodology was used recently during B/VIM’s Phase 2 subjective evaluations of four codecs designed for internet use: Envivio MPEG-4, QuickTime 6, RealNetworks 9 and Wind...
