Next generation video compression- HEVC

Technologies for Next - Generation Video Coding Standard

1. Trends of HEVC Standardization The target of HEVC standardization is to substantially surpass the compression efficiency of the existing MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 international standard,(1) which currently provides the highest compression performance. The expected complexity of HEVC must be an acceptable level for the hardware technology when supported products are put on the market. In the standardi...

Concepts and Performance of Next-generation Video Compression Standardization

The emerging video coding standard ITU-T H.264 | ISO/IEC MPEG-4 AVC is introduced and described. The concept shows a significantly improved performance as compared to former video coding standards like H.263 or MPEG-4 Visual. Enhanced inter and intra prediction techniques are the key to high compression efficiency. In this paper, the main features of the standard are described, and a performanc...

Special Section on the Joint Call for Proposals on High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) Standardization

Special Section on the Joint Call for Proposals on High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) Standardization THE FIRST commercially successful digital video compression standard emerged 20 years ago in the form of Recommendation ITU-T H.261. MPEG-1 and H.262/MPEG2 video (the latter was jointly standardized by ITU-T and ISO/IEC) were then developed very soon thereafter, and they resulted in an explosi...

HDR Video Compression Using High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)

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 t...
