Study of MPEG - 2 Coding Performance based on a PerceptualQuality Metric
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper some well known quality metrics such as PSNR and the metric developed at Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) are reviewed. Their shortcomings in measuring quality of coded video compared to subjective tests are pointed out. Then, a new video quality metric called Moving Picture Quality Metric (MPQM) is presented. This metric models the human visual system and matches correctly subjective evaluations. Comparative results in the case of constant bit rate (CBR) MPEG-2 coded sequences are presented, showing the superiority of MPQM over ITS and PSNR.

A New Unequal Error Protection Technique Based on the Mutual Information of the MPEG-4 Video Frames over Wireless Networks
The performance of video transmission over wireless channels is limited by the channel noise. Thus many error resilience tools have been incorporated into the MPEG-4 video compression method. In addition to these tools, the unequal error protection (UEP) technique has been proposed to protect the different parts in an MPEG-4 video packet with different channel coding rates based on the rate...

متن کاملJoint resolution enhancement and artifact reduction for MPEG-2 encoded digital video
A joint approach of resolution enhancement and artifact reduction for MPEG-2 encoded video is proposed in this paper. This new method uses a Unified Metric for Digital Video Processing (UMDVP). The UMDVP is defined based on coding information of MPEG-2 encoded video. It also takes the local scene content into account. Experimental results have demonstrated that the joint approach using the UMDV...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of H.265/mpeg-hevc, Vp9 and H.264/mpeg- Avc Video Coding
This study evaluates the performance of the three latest video codecs H.265/MPEG-HEVC, H.264/MPEGAVC and VP9. The evaluation is based on both subjective and objective quality metrics. The assessment metric Double Stimulus Impairment Scale (DSIS) is used to evaluate the subjective quality of the compressed video sequences. The Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) metricis used for the objective eva...
