  • PVQ Applied Outside of Daala (IETF 97 Draft)
    PVQ Applied outside of Daala (IETF 97 Draft) Yushin Cho Mozilla Corporation November, 2016 Introduction ● Perceptual Vector Quantization (PVQ) – Proposed as a quantization and coefficient coding tool for NETVC – Originally developed for the Daala video codec – Does a gain-shape coding of transform coefficients ● The most distinguishing idea of PVQ is the way it references a predictor. – PVQ does not subtract the predictor from the input to produce a residual Mozilla Corporation 2 Integrating PVQ into AV1 ● Introduction of a transformed predictors both in encoder and decoder – Because PVQ references the predictor in the transform domain, instead of using a pixel-domain residual as in traditional scalar quantization ● Activity masking, the major benefit of PVQ, is not enabled yet – Encoding RDO is solely based on PSNR Mozilla Corporation 3 Traditional Architecture Input X residue Subtraction Transform T signal R predictor P + decoded X Inverse Inverse Scalar decoded R Transform Quantizer Quantizer Coefficient bitstream of Coder coded T(X) Mozilla Corporation 4 AV1 with PVQ Input X Transform T T(X) PVQ Quantizer PVQ Coefficient predictor P Transform T T(X) Coder PVQ Inverse Quantizer Inverse dequantized bitstream of decoded X Transform T(X) coded T(X) Mozilla Corporation 5 Coding Gain Change Metric AV1 --> AV1 with PVQ PSNR Y -0.17 PSNR-HVS 0.27 SSIM 0.93 MS-SSIM 0.14 CIEDE2000 -0.28 ● For the IETF test sequence set, "objective-1-fast". ● IETF and AOM for high latency encoding options are used.
