PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF H.264/MPEG4 PART 10 BASED ON PROFILESEE 5359Bhumika MakwanaGuided By- Dr.K.RaoCONTENT•Background•Introduction•Features of H.264/MPEG4 •Profile•ConclusionBACKGROUND EXAMPLE OF DEVICE USING MULTIMEDIAWHY 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 experienceTHE 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 implementEVOLUTION OF H.264 STANDARDINTRODUCTION OF H.264/MPEG4H.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 architecturesSupports various applications such as video broadcasting, video streaming, and video conferencing over fixed and wireless networks and over different transport protocolsH.264 VIDEO CODING STRUCTUREKEY ASPECTS OF H.264Better motion compensation,Smaller blocks in the coding transform,A new coding transform (inversible),Improved deblocking filterMore efficient entropy codingTRANSFORMSeparation in macro-block/block in H.264 standard. Each image is sub-divided in 16x16 pixels macro-blocks, which are themselves divided in 4x4 pixels blocks, as illustrated by the side figureMOTION COMPENSATIONH.264 allows to use up to 32 different frames as reference for each P-slice and up to 64 different frames for each B-Slice unlike simple reference modePROFILESH.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 toolsH.264 PROFILEPROPOSAL 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.
