Engineering aalto university abstract of the school of electrical engineering master's thesis Author: Antti Pakarinen Title: Multi-core platforms for audio and multimedia coding algorithms in telecommunications Date: 14.9.2012 Language: English Number of pages: 9+63 Department of Signal processing and Acoustics Professorship: Acoustics and Audio Signal processing Code: S-89 Supervisor: Prof. Vesa V¨alim¨aki Instructor: M.Sc. (Tech.) Jussi Pekonen Multimedia coding algorithms used in telecommunications evolve constantly. Ben- efits and properties of two new hybrid audio codecs (USAC, Opus) were reviewed on a high level as a literature study. It was found that both have succeeded well in subjective sound quality measurements. Tilera TILEPro64-multicore platform and a related software library was evaluated in terms of performance in multimedia coding. The performance in video coding was found to increase with the number of processing cores up to a certain point. With the tested audio codecs, increasing the number of cores did not increase coding performance. Additionally, multicore products of Tilera, Texas Instruments and Freescale were compared. Develop- ment tools of all three vendors were found to have similiar features, despite the differences in hardware architectures.

  • 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. Mozilla Corporation 6 Speed ● Increase in total encoding time due to PVQ's search for best codepoint – PVQ's time complexity is close to O(n*n) for n coefficients, while scalar quantization has O(n) ● Compared to Daala, the search space for a RDO decision in AV1 is far larger – For the 1st frame of grandma_qcif (176x144) in intra frame mode, Daala calls PVQ 3843 times, while AV1 calls 632,520 times, that is ~165x.

First and foremost, I’d like to thank everyone for making the 2018 Video Developer Report possible! In its second year the report is wider both in scope and reach. With 456 survey submissions from over 67 countries, the report aims to provide a snapshot into the state of video technology in 2018, as well as a vision into what will be important in the next 12 months. This report would not be possible without the great support and participation of the video developer community. Thank you for your dedication to figuring it out. To making streaming video work despite the challenges of limited bandwidth and a fragmented consumer device landscape. We hope this report provides you with insights into what your peers are working on and the pain points that we are all experiencing. We have already learned a lot and are looking forward to the 2019 Video Developer Survey a year from now! Best Regards, StefanStefan Lederer Lederer CEO, Bitmovin Page 1 Key findings In 2018 H.264/AVC dominates video codec usage globally, used by 92% of developers in the survey.
