  1. Multimedia Processing (EE 5359) Project Proposal IMPLEMENTATION OF H.264/AVC, AVS China Part 7 and Dirac VIDEO CODING STANDARDS Under the guidance of Dr. K R. Rao Electrical Engineering Department The University of Texas at Arlington By Sharan K Chandrashekar (1000676767) sharan.chandrashekar@mavs.uta.edu

  2. Introduction • A software or a device that enables video compression and decompression is known as a video codec • The need for video coding standards arose with the increased commercial interest in video communications • Video coding standards H.264/AVC, Dirac and AVS China are the latest standards adopted by ITU-T/ISO-IEC, BBC and China standards organization respectively

  3. H.264/AVC • H.264/AVC, an open licensed standard, developed as a result of the collaboration between the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group and the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group • It is one of the most efficient video compression technique available today. • The generalized block diagrams of the hybrid encoder and decoder for the H.264/AVC codec areshown in Figures 1 and 2.

  6. Dirac • Dirac is a video compression system developed by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) utilizing motion compensation and wavelet transforms. • Dirac video codec applications span from mobile and internet to Ultra HDTV and film and video production. • The Dirac encoder architecture is as shown in Figure 4. The decoder shown in Figure 5 performs the inverse operations.

  10. AVS China Part 7 • AVS video codec is developed by the Audio Video Coding Standard Working Group of China. • AVS China comprises of four different profiles namely Jizhun, Jiben, Shenzan and Jiaqiang of which the Jiben profile (basic profile) is defined in AVS Part 7 for mobile applications. Table 1: Applications of the various profiles of AVS China[5]

  11. Figures 6 and 7 depict the encoding and decoding architectures of the AVS China codec. Figure 6: AVS China encoder block diagram [5]

  13. Project Objective • This project will give an overview of the working, performance and hardware requirements of the three codecs. • The objective of this project is to analyze the performance of the baseline profiles of the H.264/AVC, Dirac and AVS China Video codecs based on based on various factors like complexity, video quality, bit rates, compression ratio etc. • Also using sample videos, factors such as PSNR, MSE and SSIM[20] will be derived for two standard formats.
