OBJECTIVE • Scope of this project is to primarily focus on the study of in-loop deblocking filter in HEVC • Besides this study, modification is done on the deblocking filter which results in the performance improvement of the codec. • To compare the HEVC performance after implementing in HM codec with H.264/AVC codec performance using processor clock cycle, mean square error (MSE) and signal to noise ratio (SNR).
HEVC OVERVIEW • High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is currently being prepared as the newest video coding standard of the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group and the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group. • Joint collaborative team on video coding (JCT-VC) developed HEVC video coding standard. JCT-VC is a joint partnership team between video coding experts group (VCEG) and moving picture experts group (MPEG).
HEVC has many advantages over previous coding standards H.264 and H.261, like significant rate distortion efficiency achieving higher bit rate reduction, error resilience and is most network friendly compared to other standards. • The main goal of the HEVC standardization effort is to enable significantly improved compression performance relative to existing standards—in the range of 50% bit-rate reduction for equal perceptual video quality
GOP - Group Of Pictures ( Video Frames ). • I-Intra Frame : P – Predicted frame : B – Bidirectional predicted frame • Order in which different types of frames are placed makes a GOP structure • A classic GOP structure is shown below
DEBLOCKING FILTER AND ITS WORKING • In HEVC, two processing steps, namely a deblocking filter (DBF) followed by an SAO filter, are applied to the reconstructed samples before writing them into the decoded picture buffer in the decoder loop. • The deblocking filter is intended to reduce the blocking artifacts due to block-based coding. • A deblocking filter similar to the one used in H.264/MPEG-4 AVC is operated within the interpicture prediction loop.
The deblocking filter in HEVC has been designed to improve the subjective quality while reducing the complexity. • The latter consideration is important since the deblockingfilter of the H.264/AVC standard, constitutes a significant part of the decoder complexity • The deblocking filter is applied to all samples adjacent to a PU or TU boundary except the case when the boundary is also a picture boundary

Scope of this project • To study the unified crossbased approach of deblocking filtering in HEVC codec using HM software. • To understand and implement a low complexity offsets perceptual optimization for deblocking filtering unit in HM codec . • To compare the HEVC performance in HM codec with H.264/AVC codec performance using processor clock cycle, mean square error (MSE) and signal to noise ratio (SNR).
