COMPARATIVE STUDY OF HEVC and H.264 INTRA FRAME CODING AND JPEG2000 BY Under the Guidance of Harshdeep Brahmasury Jain Dr. K. R. RAO ID MS Electrical Engineering Multimedia Project proposal EE 5359

Objective In this project, the comparison of HEVC intra frame coding with H.264 and JPEG2000 is analyzed and implemented. 1.Detailed analysis of HEVC Intra Frame coding only with H.264 Intra Frame coding only and JPEG Comparison between HEVC, H.264 and JPEG 2000 by various comparison metrics. 3.MSE, PSNR and SSIM metrics are used as comparison metrics.

Introduction High efficiency video coding (HEVC) [1] standard is the most recent joint video project of the ITU-T video coding experts group (VCEG) and the ISO/IEC moving picture experts group (MPEG) standardization organizations,working together in a partnership known as the joint collaborative team on video coding (JCT- VC). It has many advantages over previous coding standards H.264 [4] and H.261 [4], like significant rate distortion efficiency achieving higher bit rate reduction, error resilience and is most network friendly compared to other standards.

JPEG2000 Extensions are.jp2,.j2k,.jpf,.jpx,.jpm,.mj2 Relies on wavelet transform Another difference, in comparison with JPEG, is in terms of visual artifacts JPEG 2000 produces ringing artifacts. The coded bit stream obtained after compression of an image with JPEG 2000 is scalable in nature, meaning that it can be decoded in a number of ways; for instance, by truncating the coded bit stream at any point.

H.264/MPEG-4 AVC H.264/MPEG-4 AVC is a block-oriented motion- compensation-based codec standard developed by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) together with the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Provides good video quality at substantially lower bit rates than previous standards. H.264 is used in such applications as players for blu-ray discs, videos from youtube [24] and the iTunes Store, web software such as Adobe Flash Player and Microsoft Silverlight [24].

High efficiency Video Coding Reduces bitrate requirements by half with comparable image quality, at the expense of increased computational complexity. Depending on the application requirements HEVC encoders can trade off computational complexity, compression rate, robustness to errors, and encoding delay time. Two of the key features where HEVC was improved compared to H.264/MPEG-4 AVC was support for higher resolution video and improved parallel processing methods.

Image Quality Measures Criteria to evaluate the compression quality Two types of quality measures Objective quality measure- PSNR, MSE Structural quality measure- SSIM MSE and PSNR for a NxM pixel image are defined as (1) (2) dB where x is the original image and y is the reconstructed image. M and N are the width and height of an image and ‘L’ is the maximum pixel value in the NxM pixel image.

Structural Similarity Method[SSIM] [1] SSIM emphasizes that the human visual system is highly adapted to extract structural information from visual scenes. Therefore, structural similarity measurement should provide a good approximation to perceptual image quality. The SSIM index is defined as a product of luminance (l), contrast (c) and structural (s) comparison functions. where, α>0, β>0 and γ >0 are parameters used to adjust the relative importance of the three components

where μ is the mean intensity, and σ is the standard deviation as a round estimate of the signal contrast. C1 and C2 are constants. M is the number of samples in the quality map. [2] [3]
