4K Comparison Methodology

The main goal of this report it the presentation of a comparative evaluation of the quality of new HEVC codecs and codecs of other standards using objective measures of assessment. The comparison is done using presets provided by the developers of each codec. Nevertheless, we requir all codecs to satisfy minimum speed requirement on the particular use case.

For this platform we considered four key use cases with different speed requirements:

  • Fast: UHD, 30fps
  • Universal: UHD, 1fps
  • Fast 10bit: UHD-10bit, 30fps
  • Universal 10bit: UHD-10bit, 1fps

12 video sequences at 4K resolution were used for tests: 8 video sequences had 8-bit color depth and 4 video sequences had 10-bit color depth. Note: we used technically 10-bit videos for evaluation, but the colours in the videos themselves do not utilize wide luminance range (they are not HDR).

Brief methodology review is given in the presentation:

Public MSU video filters
Here are available VirtualDub and AviSynth filters. For a given type of digital video filtration we typically develop a family of different algorithms and implementations. Generally there are also versions optimized for PC and hardware implementations (ASIC/FPGA/DSP). These optimized versions can be licensed to companies. Please contact us for details via video(at)graphics.cs.msu_ru. 		Filters for companies
We are working with Intel, Samsung, RealNetworks and other companies on adapting our filters other video processing algorithms for specific video streams, applications and hardware like TV-sets, graphics cards, etc. Some of such projects are non-exclusive. Also we have internal researches. Please let us know via video(at)graphics.cs.msu_ru if you are interested in acquiring a license for such filters or making a custom R&D project on video processing, compression, computer vision.
