The H.264 standard defines for improvement of compression rate and image several profiles for compression with specific encoding resolutions increasing [3]. At same bit rate, the H.265 parameters. The higher profile is selected for codec offers a better image quality, at the price of increasing of calculus complexity.

  • Digital Video Quality Handbook (May 2013
    Digital Video Quality Handbook May 2013 This page intentionally left blank. Executive Summary Under the direction of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), First Responders Group (FRG), Office for Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC), the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL), worked with the Security Industry Association (including Steve Surfaro) and members of the Video Quality in Public Safety (VQiPS) Working Group to develop the May 2013 Video Quality Handbook. This document provides voluntary guidance for providing levels of video quality in public safety applications for network video surveillance. Several video surveillance use cases are presented to help illustrate how to relate video component and system performance to the intended application of video surveillance, while meeting the basic requirements of federal, state, tribal and local government authorities. Characteristics of video surveillance equipment are described in terms of how they may influence the design of video surveillance systems. In order for the video surveillance system to meet the needs of the user, the technology provider must consider the following factors that impact video quality: 1) Device categories; 2) Component and system performance level; 3) Verification of intended use; 4) Component and system performance specification; and 5) Best fit and link to use case(s). An appendix is also provided that presents content related to topics not covered in the original document (especially information related to video standards) and to update the material as needed to reflect innovation and changes in the video environment. The emphasis is on the implications of digital video data being exchanged across networks with large numbers of components or participants.

  • (A/V Codecs) REDCODE RAW (.R3D) ARRIRAW
    What is a Codec? Codec is a portmanteau of either "Compressor-Decompressor" or "Coder-Decoder," which describes a device or program capable of performing transformations on a data stream or signal. Codecs encode a stream or signal for transmission, storage or encryption and decode it for viewing or editing. Codecs are often used in videoconferencing and streaming media solutions. A video codec converts analog video signals from a video camera into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for display. An audio codec converts analog audio signals from a microphone into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for playing. The raw encoded form of audio and video data is often called essence, to distinguish it from the metadata information that together make up the information content of the stream and any "wrapper" data that is then added to aid access to or improve the robustness of the stream. Most codecs are lossy, in order to get a reasonably small file size. There are lossless codecs as well, but for most purposes the almost imperceptible increase in quality is not worth the considerable increase in data size. The main exception is if the data will undergo more processing in the future, in which case the repeated lossy encoding would damage the eventual quality too much. Many multimedia data streams need to contain both audio and video data, and often some form of metadata that permits synchronization of the audio and video. Each of these three streams may be handled by different programs, processes, or hardware; but for the multimedia data stream to be useful in stored or transmitted form, they must be encapsulated together in a container format.

  • The H.264 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) Standard
    Whitepaper: The H.264 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) Standard What It Means to Web Camera Performance Introduction A new generation of webcams is hitting the market that makes video conferencing a more lifelike experience for users, thanks to adoption of the breakthrough H.264 standard. This white paper explains some of the key benefits of H.264 encoding and why cameras with this technology should be on the shopping list of every business. The Need for Compression Today, Internet connection rates average in the range of a few megabits per second. While VGA video requires 147 megabits per second (Mbps) of data, full high definition (HD) 1080p video requires almost one gigabit per second of data, as illustrated in Table 1. Table 1. Display Resolution Format Comparison Format Horizontal Pixels Vertical Lines Pixels Megabits per second (Mbps) QVGA 320 240 76,800 37 VGA 640 480 307,200 147 720p 1280 720 921,600 442 1080p 1920 1080 2,073,600 995 Video Compression Techniques Digital video streams, especially at high definition (HD) resolution, represent huge amounts of data. In order to achieve real-time HD resolution over typical Internet connection bandwidths, video compression is required. The amount of compression required to transmit 1080p video over a three megabits per second link is 332:1! Video compression techniques use mathematical algorithms to reduce the amount of data needed to transmit or store video. Lossless Compression Lossless compression changes how data is stored without resulting in any loss of information. Zip files are losslessly compressed so that when they are unzipped, the original files are recovered.

  • AVC, HEVC, VP9, AVS2 Or AV1? — a Comparative Study of State-Of-The-Art Video Encoders on 4K Videos
    AVC, HEVC, VP9, AVS2 or AV1? | A Comparative Study of State-of-the-art Video Encoders on 4K Videos Zhuoran Li, Zhengfang Duanmu, Wentao Liu, and Zhou Wang University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON N2L 3G1, Canada fz777li,zduanmu,w238liu,[email protected] Abstract. 4K, ultra high-definition (UHD), and higher resolution video contents have become increasingly popular recently. The largely increased data rate casts great challenges to video compression and communication technologies. Emerging video coding methods are claimed to achieve su- perior performance for high-resolution video content, but thorough and independent validations are lacking. In this study, we carry out an in- dependent and so far the most comprehensive subjective testing and performance evaluation on videos of diverse resolutions, bit rates and content variations, and compressed by popular and emerging video cod- ing methods including H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, VP9, AVS2 and AV1. Our statistical analysis derived from a total of more than 36,000 raw sub- jective ratings on 1,200 test videos suggests that significant improvement in terms of rate-quality performance against the AVC encoder has been achieved by state-of-the-art encoders, and such improvement is increas- ingly manifest with the increase of resolution. Furthermore, we evaluate state-of-the-art objective video quality assessment models, and our re- sults show that the SSIMplus measure performs the best in predicting 4K subjective video quality. The database will be made available online to the public to facilitate future video encoding and video quality research.

  • Video Quality Assessment: Subjective Testing of Entertainment Scenes Margaret H
    1 Video Quality Assessment: Subjective testing of entertainment scenes Margaret H. Pinson, Lucjan Janowski, and Zdzisław Papir This article describes how to perform a video quality subjective test. For companies, these tests can greatly facilitate video product development; for universities, removing perceived barriers to conducting such tests allows expanded research opportunities. This tutorial assumes no prior knowledge and focuses on proven techniques. (Certain commercial equipment, materials, and/or programs are identified in this article to adequately specify the experimental procedure. In no case does such identification imply recommendation or endorsement by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, nor does it imply that the program or equipment identified is necessarily the best available for this application.) Video is a booming industry: content is embedded on many Web sites, delivered over the Internet, and streamed to mobile devices. Cisco statistics indicate that video exceeded 50% of total mobile traffic for the first time in 2012, and predicts that two-thirds of the world’s mobile data traffic will be video by 2017 [1]. Each company must make a strategic decision on the correct balance between delivery cost and user experience. This decision can be made by the engineers designing the service or, for increased accuracy, by consulting users [2]. Video quality assessment requires a combined approach that includes objective metrics, subjective testing, and live video monitoring. Subjective testing is a critical step to ensuring success in operational management and new product development. Carefully conducted video quality subjective tests are extremely reliable and repeatable, as is shown in Section 8 of [3]. This article provides an approachable tutorial on how to conduct a subjective video quality experiment.

  • Video Resolution Enhancement Using Deep Neural Networks and Intensity Based Registrations
    International Journal of Innovative Computing, Information and Control ICIC International ⃝c 2018 ISSN 1349-4198 Volume 14, Number 5, October 2018 pp. 1969{1976 VIDEO RESOLUTION ENHANCEMENT USING DEEP NEURAL NETWORKS AND INTENSITY BASED REGISTRATIONS Gholamreza Anbarjafari1;2 1iCV Research Group Institute of Technology University of Tartu Nooruse Street, Tartu 50411, Estonia [email protected] 2Faculty of Engineering Hasan Kalyoncu University Gaziantep, Turkey Received January 2018; revised May 2018 Abstract. Thanks to the recent rapid improvements made to the maximum possible resolution of display devices, higher qualities of experience have been made possible, which necessitates either producing and transmitting considerably higher volumes of data or super-resolving lower-resolution contents at the display side, where the former might not be practically feasible. Therefore, aiming at the latter, this paper proposes a novel super-resolution technique, which takes advantage of convolutional neural networks. Each image is registered into a window consisting of two frames, the second one standing for the reference image, using various intensity-based techniques, which have been tested and compared throughout the paper. According to the experimental results, the proposed method leads to substantial enhancements in the quality of the super-resolved images, compared with the state-of-the-art techniques introduced within the existing literature. On the Akiyo video sequence, on average, the result possesses 5.38dB higher PSNR values than those of the Vandewalle registration technique, with structure adaptive normalised convolution being utilized as the reconstruction approach. Keywords: Super resolution, Deep learning, Convolutional neural network, Intensity based registration, Video resolution enhancement 1. Introduction. The issue of high quality image reconstruction from the low quality version of the same image or the sequence of similar video frames has been extensively studied for several decades, and it is still an ongoing research [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].

  • Video Quality Assessment Using a Statistical Model of Human Visual Speed Perception
    Video Quality Assessment Using a Statistical Model of Human Visual Speed Perception Zhou Wang and Qiang Li Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo, ON N2L3G1, Canada Dept. of Electrical Engineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, TX 76019, USA [email protected]; [email protected] Motion is one of the most important types of information contained in natu- ral video, but direct use of motion information in the design of video quality assessment algorithms has not been deeply investigated. Here we propose to in- corporate a recent model of human visual speed perception [Stocker & Simon- celli, Nature Neuroscience 9, 578-585 (2006)] and model visual perception in an information communication framework. This allows us to estimate both the motion information content and the perceptual uncertainty in video signals. Improved video quality assessment algorithms are obtained by incorporating the model as spatiotemporal weighting factors, where the weight increases with the information content and decreases with the perceptual uncertainty. Consistent improvement over existing video quality assessment algorithms is observed in our validation with the video quality experts group Phase I test data set. °c 2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 110.3000, 330.5510, 330.4060, 100.2960. 1. Introduction The capability of representing motion is probably the most critical characteristic that dis- tinguishes a natural video sequence from a stack of independent still image frames. If we believe that the central goal of vision is to extract useful information from the visual scene, then the perception of motion information would play an important role in the perception of natural video.

[email protected] Abstract— Video compression is a process of eliminating redundancy and irrelevant information for efficient storage and transmission. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) are the popular transforms used for efficient compression. DCT has high energy compaction and requires less computational resources. In this paper, a novel method is proposed combining DCT, DWT and Arithmetic coding for compressing the video. Arithmetic coding is used to optimize data, generating minimum redundancy code. Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method than similar terms of achieving high PSNR value and compression ratio. Keywords- DCT, DWT, Motion Estimation, Motion Compensation, Quantization, Arithmetic coding. I. INTRODUCTION Videos play a crucial role in multimedia applications. Normally, video file occupies huge amount of memory to store. A video file of 40 minutes of 30 frames per second frame rate and resolution of 750*570 will require 1.39 GB. The storage and bandwidth requirement of this uncompressed video is very high. Videos and images contain a large amount of redundant information.
