The latest High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard has been increasingly applied to generate video streams over the Internet. However, HEVC compressed videos may incur severe quality degradation, particularly at low bit-rates. Thus, it is necessary to enhance the visual quality of HEVC videos at the decoder side. To this end, this paper proposes a Quality Enhancement Convolutional Neural N...

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H265) is the most contemporary video compression standard, jointly developed by ITU-T VCEG and ISO/IEC MPEG standard bodies. HEVC, successor of H.264/AVC, is targeted to achieve half the bit-rate compared to its predecessor for the same video quality. Along with primary goal of achieving higher compression and accommodating support for higher resolutions like ...

HEVC being developed in the video coding standard(The video coding standard of HEVC being developped ) is a new generation of video coding standards for HD resolution video encoding. It is difficult to implement HEVC real time coding in current hardware for the algorithm’s complextivity, so the algorithm optimization and hardware acceleration of HEVC become research hot spots. The motion estima...

Nowadays many devices can handle with digital videos, especially with high definition, even for portable devices, as smartphones and tablets. However, high definition videos demand a high amount of information to be represented. The current video coding standards use a set of new techniques to increase its coding efficiency. One of these techniques, used by H.264 and HEVC (High Efficiency Video...

The main goal of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standardization effort was to enable significantly improved compression performance relative to existing standards-in the range of 50% bit-rate reduction for equal perceptual video quality. In order to compare the performance and complexity without significant rate-distortion performance degradation, the HEVC coder vs. H.264/AVC coder are...

High efficiency video coding is the current trend setting standard for coding and transmission of video content. This standard has brought in many improvements over its predecessor H264 standard. In this paper, performance evaluation of transmitting HEVC content over the simulated network environment for disaster and calamity stricken area has been under taken. In the simulation the transmitted...

After the development of the next generation video coding standard, referred to as high efficiency video coding (HEVC), the joint collaborative team of the ITU-T video coding experts group and the ISO/IEC moving picture experts group has now also standardized a lossless extension of such a standard. HEVC was originally designed for lossy video compression, thus, not ideal for lossless video com...

In this paper, we present an adaptive deblocking filter to improve the video quality for high efficiency video coding (HEVC) scheme. The HEVC standard is a hybrid coding scheme using block-based prediction and transform encoding/decoding. At the decoding step, the boundary of any two adjacent blocks causes visual discontinuities called blocking artifacts that can be removed using deblocking fil...

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) demonstrates a significant improvement in compression efficiency compared to H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, especially for video with resolution beyond HD, such as 4K UHDTV. One advantage of HEVC is the improved intra coding of video frames. Hence, it is natural to question how such intra coding compares to state of the art compression codecs for still images. This paper ...
