  • A RATE CONTROL ALGORITHM FOR x264 HIGH Definition Video CONFERENCING
    2020
    Co-Authors: Abbas Javdtalab, Mona Omidyeganeh, Shervin Shirmohammandi, Mojtaba Hosseini
    Abstract:

    Current rate control algorithms developed in the H.264 encoder are unable to address High Definition Video streaming requirements over best effort networks such as the Internet. We propose a rate controller (RC) for H.264 high Definition Video conferencing (HDVC), specifically developed in the x264 codec: an open source and high performance H.264/AVC encoder. Called the Dynamic Constant Rate Factor (DCRF), our RC tries to provide the best possible quality in terms of the current bandwidth available at a given instance of Video streaming. The proposed method is analyzed from different aspects including network bandwidth, frame size, PSNR and SSIM measurements. In addition to the objective tests, DCRF is evaluated by human observers for subjective performance evaluation. The results prove that DCRF provides better results than current RC methods for HDVC. Index Terms— Rate distortion, Average Bitrate, Video Conferencing, High Definition Video.

  • On the suitability of current x264 rate controller algorithms for high Definition Video conferencing
    2011 International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Signal Processing (AISP), 2011
    Co-Authors: Abbas Javadtalab, Mona Omidyeganeh, Shervin Shirmohammandi, Mojtaba Hosseini
    Abstract:

    In this paper we analyze current H.264 rate distortion algorithms (RD), specifically those developed in the x264 codec which is an open source and high performance H.264/AVC encoder, and evaluate their suitability for high Definition Video conferencing (HDVC). Moreover, we report the current shortcomings of these methods and highlight issues to be addressed for future research, as well as the requirements of an RD for HDVC. Each method is analyzed from aspects such as network bandwidth, frame size, PSNR and SSIM measurements. In addition to the objective tests, the results are evaluated by human observers in order to get the correct perceptive of the performance of each method.

  • statistical analysis and modeling of high Definition Video traces
    International Conference on Multimedia and Expo, 2010
    Co-Authors: Abdel Karim Al Tamimi, Raj Jain, Chakchai Soin
    Abstract:

    High Definition Video streams are gaining larger shares of the Internet usage for typical users on daily basis. This is an expected result of the current boom in the online standard and high Definition (HD) Video streaming services such as YouTube and Hulu. Because of these Video streams' unique statistical characteristics and their high bandwidth requirements, they are considered to be a continuous challenge in both network scheduling and resource allocation fields. In this paper we provide a statistical analysis of over 50 high Definition Video traces that resembles wide varieties of high Definition Video traffic workloads. We performed both factor and cluster analysis on our collection of Video traces to support a better understanding of Video stream workload characteristics and their impact on network traffic. Additionally, we compare and evaluate different modeling approaches for high Definition Videos traces.

  • High-Definition Video Streams Analysis, Modeling, and Prediction
    Advances in Multimedia, 2012
    Co-Authors: Abdel Karim Al Tamimi, Raj Jain
    Abstract:

    High-Definition Video streams' unique statistical characteristics and their high bandwidth requirements are considered to be a challenge in both network scheduling and resource allocation fields. In this paper, we introduce an innovative way to model and predict high-Definition (HD) Video traces encoded with H.264/AVC encoding standard. Our results are based on our compilation of over 50 HD Video traces. We show that our model, simplified seasonal ARIMA (SAM), provides an accurate representation for HD Videos, and it provides significant improvements in prediction accuracy. Such accuracy is vital to provide better dynamic resource allocation for Video traffic. In addition, we provide a statistical analysis of HD Videos, including both factor and cluster analysis to support a better understanding of Video stream workload characteristics and their impact on network traffic. We discuss our methodology to collect and encode our collection of HD Video traces. Our Video collection, results, and tools are available for the research community.

  • No-reference Video quality evaluation for high-Definition Video
    2009 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing, 2009
    Co-Authors: Christian Keimel, Tobias Oelbaum, Klaus Diepold
    Abstract:

    A no-reference Video quality metric for High-Definition Video is introduced. This metric evaluates a set of simple features such as blocking or blurring, and combines those features into one parameter representing visual quality. While only comparably few base feature measurements are used, additional parameters are gained by evaluating changes for these measurements over time and using additional temporal pooling methods. To take into account the different characteristics of different Video sequences, the gained quality value is corrected using a low quality version of the received Video. The metric is verified using data from accurate subjective tests, and special care was taken to separate data used for calibration and verification. The proposed no-reference quality metric delivers a prediction accuracy of 0.86 when compared to subjective tests, and significantly outperforms PSNR as a quality predictor.
