The Impact

AbstractTransmission of high-resolution compressed video on unreliable transmission channels with time-varying characteristics such as wireless channels can adversely affect the decoded visual quality at the decoder side. This task becomes more challenging when the video codec computational complexity is an essential factor for low delay video transmission. High-efficiency video coding (H.265|HEVC) standard is the most recent video coding standard produced by ITU-T and ISO/IEC organisations. In this paper, a robust error resilience algorithm is proposed to reduce the impact of erroneous H.265|HEVC bitstream on the perceptual video quality at the decoder side. The proposed work takes into consideration the compatibility of the algorithm implementations with and without feedback channel update. The proposed work identifies and locates the frame’s most sensitive areas to errors and encodes them in intra mode. The intra-refresh map is generated at the encoder by utilising a grey projection method. The conducted experimental work includes testing the codec performance with the proposed work in error-free and error-prone conditions. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm works effectively at high packet loss rates. These results come at the cost of a slight increase in the encoding bit rate overhead and computational processing time compared with the default HEVC HM16 reference software.

Sine Transform

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) uses an 8-point filter and a 7-point filter, which are based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT), for the 1/2-pixel and 1/4-pixel interpolations, respectively. In this paper, discrete sine transform (DST)-based interpolation filters (IF) are proposed. The first proposed DST-based IFs (DST-IFs) use 8-point and 7-point filters for the 1/2-pixel and 1/4-pixel interpolations, respectively. The final proposed DST-IFs use 12-point and 11-point filters for the 1/2-pixel and 1/4-pixel interpolations, respectively. These DST-IF methods are proposed to improve the motion-compensated prediction in HEVC. The 8-point and 7-point DST-IF methods showed average BD-rate reductions of 0.7% and 0.3% in the random access (RA) and low delay B (LDB) configurations, respectively. The 12-point and 11-point DST-IF methods showed average BD-rate reductions of 1.4% and 1.2% in the RA and LDB configurations for the Luma component, respectively.

Filter Process

This study describes the need to improve the weak filtering method for the in-loop filter process used identically in versatile video coding (VVC) and high efficiency video coding (HEVC). The weak filtering process used by VVC has been adopted and maintained since Draft Four during H.265/advanced video coding (AVC) standardization. Because the encoding process in the video codec utilizes block structural units, deblocking filters are essential. However, as many of the deblocking filters require a complex calculation process, it is necessary to ensure that they have a reasonable effect. This study evaluated the performance of the weak filtering portion of the VVC and confirmed that it is not functioning effectively, unlike its performance in the HEVC. The method of excluding the whole of weak filtering from VVC, which is a non-weak filtering method, should be considered in VVC standardization. In experimental result in this study, the non-weak filtering method brings 0.40 Y-Bjontegaard-Delta Bit-Rate (BDBR) gain over VVC Test Model (VTM) 6.0.

Click Through Rate

In order to defraud click-through rate, some merchants recompress the low-bitrate video to a high-bitrate one without improving the video quality. This behavior deceives viewers and wastes network resources. Therefore, a stable algorithm that detects fake bitrate videos is urgently needed. High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is a worldwide popular video coding standard. Hence, in this paper, a robust algorithm is proposed to detect HEVC fake bitrate videos. Firstly, five effective feature sets are extracted from the prediction process of HEVC, including Coding Unit of I-picture/P-picture partitioning modes, Prediction Unit of I-picture/P-picture partitioning modes, Intra Prediction Modes of I-picture. Secondly, feature concatenation is adopted to enhance the expressiveness and improve the effectiveness of the features. Finally, five single feature sets and three concatenate feature sets are separately sent to the support vector machine for modeling and testing. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with state-of-the-art algorithms on HEVC videos of various resolutions and fake bitrates. The results show that the proposed algorithm can not only can better detect HEVC fake bitrate videos, but also has strong robustness against frame deletion, copy-paste, and shifted Group of Picture structure attacks.

Term Evolution

The Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular technology provides higher data rates than its predecessor technologies. This advancement paves the way for more data services, including improved multimedia services. Three-dimensional (3D) video transmission is one such service that can benefit from LTE deployment. For a positive uptake of 3D video transmission, the network must provide a good Quality of Service (QoS). In this paper the authors evaluate the LTE network's performance when transmitting Multi-view Video Coding (MVC) using simulcast and inter-view prediction coding. Furthermore, the authors evaluate the system using both the H.264/AVC (Advanced Video Coding) and the more recent High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) and their MVC extensions. Results show that, in an urban environment, LTE can accommodate a maximum of 93 users per cell, with adequate QoS, when transmitting 3D HEVC video at Common Intermediate Format (CIF) resolution. Moreover, cross-layer techniques can be used to reduce the QoS degradation as the user moves away from the eNodeB by transmitting lower resolution video.

Typical Configuration

This paper summarizes the research on the influence of HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) configuration on immersive video coding. The research was focused on the newest MPEG standard for immersive video compression – MIV (MPEG Immersive Video). The MIV standard is used as a preprocessing step before the typical video compression thus is agnostic to the video codec. Uncommon characteristics of videos produced by MIV causes, that the typical configuration of the video encoder (optimized for compression of natural sequences) is not optimal for such content. The experimental results prove, that the performance of video compression for immersive video can be significantly increased when selected coding tools are being used.
