Comparison of HDR quality metrics in Per-Clip Lagrangian multiplier optimisation with AV1

1 code implementation28 Mar 2023 Vibhoothi, François Pitié, Angeliki Katsenou, Yeping Su, Balu Adsumilli, Anil Kokaram

The complexity of modern codecs along with the increased need of delivering high-quality videos at low bitrates has reinforced the idea of a per-clip tailoring of parameters for optimised rate-distortion performance.

Rate-Distortion Optimization With Alternative References For UGC Video Compression

no code implementations11 Mar 2023 Xin Xiong, Eduardo Pavez, Antonio Ortega, Balu Adsumilli

We proposed a geometric criterion for saturation detection that works with rate-distortion optimization, and only requires a few frames from the UGC video.
