Video qualityVideo quality is a characteristic of a video passed through a video transmission or processing system that describes perceived video degradation (typically, compared to the original video). Video processing systems may introduce some amount of distortion or artifacts in the video signal that negatively impacts the user's perception of a system. For many stakeholders in video production and distribution, assurance of video quality is an important task. Video quality evaluation is performed to describe the quality of a set of video sequences under study.
Comparison of video codecsΑ video codec is software or a device that provides encoding and decoding for digital video, and which may or may not include the use of video compression and/or decompression. Most codecs are typically implementations of video coding formats. The compression may employ lossy data compression, so that quality-measurement issues become important. Shortly after the compact disc became widely available as a digital-format replacement for analog audio, it became feasible to also store and use video in digital form.
Subjective video qualitySubjective video quality is video quality as experienced by humans. It is concerned with how video is perceived by a viewer (also called "observer" or "subject") and designates their opinion on a particular video sequence. It is related to the field of Quality of Experience. Measuring subjective video quality is necessary because objective quality assessment algorithms such as PSNR have been shown to correlate poorly with subjective ratings. Subjective ratings may also be used as ground truth to develop new algorithms.
Video coding formatA video coding format (or sometimes video compression format) is a content representation format for storage or transmission of digital video content (such as in a data file or bitstream). It typically uses a standardized video compression algorithm, most commonly based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) coding and motion compensation. A specific software, firmware, or hardware implementation capable of compression or decompression to/from a specific video coding format is called a video codec.
H.265H.265, ou « MPEG-H HEVC » (High Efficiency Video Coding), est une norme de codage/compression vidéo ISO/CEI 23008-2 et UIT-T H.265, publiée le . Elle est développée conjointement par les groupes Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) et Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) et doit succéder au H.264 (ISO/CEI 14496-10 et UIT-T H.264). Ses applications concernent aussi bien la compression des vidéos en ultra-haute définition que la diminution du débit de transmission sur les réseaux pour les vidéos en définition standard avec des applications pour la vidéo sur mobile et pour l'extension de l'éligibilité aux services audiovisuels (TV, VoD.
JPEG 2000JPEG 2000 ou ISO/CEI 15444-1, abrégé JP2 (quelquefois J2K), est une norme de compression d’ commune à l’ISO, la CEI et l’UIT-T, développée entre 1997 et 2000, et créée par le groupe de travail Joint Photographic Experts Group. Depuis mai 2015, il est officiellement reconnu par l'ISO / CEI et l'UIT-T sous le code ISO/IEC CD 15444. JPEG 2000 peut travailler avec ou sans perte, en utilisant des transformées en ondelettes (méthode d’analyse mathématique du signal), dont la décomposition est similaire à la transformée de Fourier à court terme.
Video codecA video codec is software or hardware that compresses and decompresses digital video. In the context of video compression, codec is a portmanteau of encoder and decoder, while a device that only compresses is typically called an encoder, and one that only decompresses is a decoder. The compressed data format usually conforms to a standard video coding format. The compression is typically lossy, meaning that the compressed video lacks some information present in the original video.
Motion compensationMotion compensation in computing, is an algorithmic technique used to predict a frame in a video, given the previous and/or future frames by accounting for motion of the camera and/or objects in the video. It is employed in the encoding of video data for video compression, for example in the generation of MPEG-2 files. Motion compensation describes a picture in terms of the transformation of a reference picture to the current picture. The reference picture may be previous in time or even from the future.
Video Coding Experts GroupThe Video Coding Experts Group or Visual Coding Experts Group (VCEG, also known as Question 6) is a working group of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) concerned with standards for compression coding of video, images, audio, and other signals. It is responsible for standardization of the "H.26x" line of video coding standards, the "T.8xx" line of image coding standards, and related technologies.
Codecalt=Codec MPEG-4 utilisé par VLC|vignette|Symbole graphique du codec MPEG-4 utilisé par VLC Un codec est un dispositif matériel ou logiciel permettant de mettre en œuvre l'encodage ou le décodage d'un flux de données numérique, en vue d'une transmission ou d'un stockage. Certains codec intègrent également une fonction de compression ou encore de chiffrement des données. L'acronyme « codec » vient de « codeur décodeur » (coder-decoder en anglais). Il est important de bien distinguer les notions de codec, de norme et de format conteneur.
