Virtual reality applications make use of 360-degree panoramic or omnidirectional video with high resolution and high frame rate in order to create the immersive experience to the user. The user views only a portion of the captured 360-degree scene at each time instant, hence streaming the whole omnidirectional video in highest quality is not efficient. In order to alleviate the problem of bandwidth...
R-λ rate control scheme is recommended in the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard, which shows high accuracy of bit rate control but lower rate distortion performance. In order to minimize the distortion subject to a target bit rate, a λ domain frame-level rate control scheme for low delay coding of HEVC was proposed. Firstly, an improved parameter updating method is presented for the frame...
The ×265 video encoder aims at improving the speed and the computational efficiency of HEVC encoders implementation. In this paper we present a detailed energy consumption analysis, considering the consumption components of CPU, cache memories and main memory, for all ×265 presets executing in a multicore system. Ten HD 1080p test video sequences with different motion and brightness characteristics...
To meet the requirement of HEVC conversational video transmission over packet-loss network, a novel error resilient scheme based on region-of-interest (ROI) is proposed. First, the weight value for each coding block tree(CTU) in the face detection region is generated. Then, by using the ROI weight value, motion vector and mode decision method based on weighted distortion methods are developed. At...
Panoramic streaming enables users to interactively navigate through high-spatial resolution videos and create an immersive and personalized user experience. Since transmission of high-resolution videos in desirable quality is not feasible given the limited throughput of access and home network links, our work is based on tile-based streaming, where only a spatial subset of the video is transmitted...
Multi-Intensity Illuminated Infrared (MIIR) video is a new type of infrared video which solves the problem of improper illumination conditions for ordinary infrared cameras for nighttime surveillance. However, its time-varying intensity makes it hard to be compressed with traditional video coding methods. In this paper we use MV-HEVC and 3D-HEVC video coding standards, which are originally designed...
In recent years, surveillance videos are playing an important role in modern security systems. As a state-of-the-art video coding standard, High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) has been deployed in many surveillance cameras. Nevertheless, the request of real-time and high subjective quality coding still poses the great challenging problem of efficient representation and compression for high complexity...
The new coding tools, developed under the Joint Exploration Model (JEM) software, have been proposed with the main goal to explore their potential coding gain in the perspective to develop a new video coding standard. In this paper we present a performance-based comparison between the JEM and HEVC reference software (HM) through a set of subjective quality assessments. Different video sequences, encoded...
The paper presents application of the emerging HEVC Screen Content Coding for frame-compatible compression of stereoscopic video. Such a solution may be an alternative to the Multiview HEVC, which is the state-of-the-art dedicated technique for multiview video compression. The paper provides an extensive description of main differences between both compression techniques. Authors also present adaptation...
We propose a novel Coding Unit (CU) level luma-chroma perceptually adaptive quantization technique for HEVC, we name this technique C-BAQ. C-BAQ is designed to improve upon the luma-only adaptive perceptual quantization method adopted by JCT-VC. This luma-only perceptual quantization technique, named AdaptiveQP, has demonstrated coding improvements compared with Uniform Reconstruction Quantization,...
In this paper, we propose an effective complexity control approach for video conferencing scenarios on HEVC platform. A complexity control formulation is established to determine the number of depth-constrained largest coding units (LCUs) according to the target complexity. By limiting the maximum depths of different LCUs to different levels, the encoding complexity can be controlled with high accuracy...
Encoder and decoder implementations of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard have been subject to many optimization approaches since the release in 2013. However, the real-time decoding of high quality and ultra high resolution videos is still a very challenging task. Especially entropy decoding (CABAC) is most often the throughput bottleneck for very high bitrates. Syntax Element Partitioning...
High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is one of the latest released video standards and offers up to 40% bitrate savings when compared to the widespread H.264/AVC standard, at the cost of a substantial complexity growth. Constraining the complexity of HEVC encoding is a challenging task for embedded applications based on a software encoder. The most frequent approach to solve this problem is to optimise...
High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) provides high efficiency at the cost of increased computational complexity followed by increased power consumption and temperature of current Multi- Processor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoCs). In this paper, we propose a machine learning-based power and thermal management approach that dynamically learns the best encoder configuration and core frequency for each of the...
360° video streaming to clients using Virtual Reality head mounted displays is a challenge for traditional video delivery. As transmission of the complete content in a desirable quality sacrifices a large fraction of available client and network resources, adaptivity to the user viewport promises substantial benefits. An efficient way to achieve viewport adaptive streaming without per-user or per-orientation...
Since the improvement of high efficient video coding (HEVC) compression ratio is yet not studied completely, a new segmentation-based image compression coding frame is realized in this paper. The compression performance of this coding frame is further improved by taking the coding standard HEVC as a basic part of image compression, using the characteristics of HEVC intra coding and inter coding as...
Ultra high definition (UHD) is the latest trend in broadcasting area, which enables new services with $3840\times 2160$ resolution and comes with enhanced color-gamut, frame-rate, dynamic range, and better audio system compared to the currently deployed HD services. The UHD format for broadcasting is already under standardization in the digital video broadcasting consortium which plans to introduce...
Encoders based on the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard consider an input sequence as a succession of slices grouped in Structures of Pictures (SOP). The SOP used while encoding specifies many parameters, such as the coding order of frames, or the reference frames used during inter-prediction. Reference encoders typically make use of a fixed SOP structure of a given size, which is periodically...
Low-bitrate video compression is a challenging task, particularly with the increasing complexity of video sequences. Re-shaping video data before its compression with modern hybrid encoders has provided interesting results in the low and ultra-low bit rate domains. In this work, we propose a novel saliency guided preprocessing approach, which combines adaptive re-sampling and background texture removal,...
Fisheye cameras have become extremely popular in applications where the goal is to capture large fields of view with only one camera. However, the wide-angle fisheye imagery has special characteristics that may not be very well suited for modern video codecs that employ block-based translational motion model. This model fails to describe complex deformable motion which is often present in fisheye...
