PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF H 264 MPEG4 PART 10 BASED ON PROFILES EE 5359 Bhumika Makwana Guided By Dr K Rao CONTENT Background Introduction Features of H 264 MPEG4 Profile Conclusion BACKGROUND EXAMPLE OF DEVICE USING MULTIMEDIA WHY NEED BETTER CODEC Number of devices using multimedia application is growing day by day The codec used in these devices should meet the exponentially increasing demand of multimedia application and increase the user experience THE BEST CODED FOR THE APPLICATION SHOULD POSSES FOLLOWING FEATURES Less network bandwidth Less storage space especially for video files Higher video quality for a given bitrates High resolution Less complexes Easy to implement EVOLUTION OF H 264 STANDARD INTRODUCTION OF H 264 MPEG4 H 264 is an open licensed standard developed by the JVT Joint Video Team Provides MPEG 2 compression quality at almost half the bit rate Significant coding efficiency simple syntax specifications and seamless integration of video coding into all current protocols and multiplex architectures Supports various applications such as video broadcasting video streaming and video conferencing over fixed and wireless networks and over different transport protocols H 264 VIDEO CODING STRUCTURE KEY ASPECTS OF H 264 Better motion compensation Smaller blocks in the coding transform A new coding transform inversible Improved deblocking filter More efficient entropy coding TRANSFORM Each image is sub divided in 16x16 pixels macro blocks which are themselves divided in 4x4 pixels blocks as illustrated by the side figure Separation in macro block block in H 264 standard MOTION COMPENSATION H 264 allows to use up to 32 different frames as reference for each P slice and up to 64 different frames for each BSlice unlike simple reference mode PROFILES H 264 DEFINES 3 MAIN PROFILES 1 Baseline Profile Primarily for lower cost applications with limited computing resources this profile is used widely in videoconferencing mobile applications video over IP and mobility applications Implements only I and P frames and a few error protection tools 2 Main Profile Adapted to TV and video broadcasting and applications Implements interleaving mode B frames arithmetic entropy coding large latency 3 Extended Profile Intended as the streaming video profile on various different channels in particular wireless channels Relatively high compression capability Robustness to data losses and server stream switching Implements adaptive rate solutions and error protection tools H 264 PROFILE PROPOSAL All of H 264 profiles has its own benefit and disadvantages and based on the Rate Distortion curve a user can identify optimization point and accordingly can select the desired profile In this project we will study these profiles in details including its implementation tradeoffs and application References 1 H 264 video compression standard New possibilities within video surveillance Axis communication 2 Soon kak Kwon A Tamhankar and K R Rao Overview of H 264 MPEG 4 Part 10 pp 186 216 Special issue on Emerging H 264 AVC video coding standard J Visual Communication and Image Representation vol 17 pp 183552 Apr 2006 3 P N Tudor Tutorial on MPEG 2 Video Compression IEE J Langham Thomson Prize Electronics and Communication Engineering Journal Dec 1995 4 T Wiegand et al Overview of the H 264 AVC Video Coding Standard IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology Vol 13 Issue 7 pp 560 576 July 2003 5 S Sharma Transcoding of H 264 bitstream to MPEG 2 bitstream Master s Thesis May 2006 EE Department University of Texas at Arlington 6 S Wagston and A Susin IP core for an H 264 Decoder SoC 2007 Available at www us design reuse com news id 15746 print yes 7 A Puri H Chen and A Luthra Video Coding using the H 264 MPEG 4 AVC compression standard Signal Processing Image Communication vol 19 pp 793 849 Oct 2004 8 K Sayood Introduction to Data compression III edition Morgan Kauffmann publishers 2006 9 I E G Richardson H 264 and MPEG 4 video compression video coding for next generation multimedia Wiley 2003 10 K R Rao and P C Yip The transform and data compression handbook Boca Raton FL CRC press 2001 11 K R Rao and J J Hwang Techniques and standards for image video and audio coding Prentice Hall 1996 12 G Sullivan P Topiwalla and A Luthra The H 264 AVC video coding standard overview and introduction to the fidelity range extensions SPIE Conference on Applications of Digital Image Processing XXVII vol 5558 pp 53 74 Aug 2004
