Video results¶

Video compression performance are presented on the entire JVET test sequences. PSNR in the YUV420 domain are obtained as follows:

\[\mathrm{PSNR_{YUV420}} = -10 \log_{10} \left(\frac{4\mathrm{MSE}_Y + \mathrm{MSE}_U + \mathrm{MSE}_V}{6}\right).\]

Random-access compression¶

The following table sums up the compression performance obtained by Cool-chic 4.0 against several conventional codecs in a random access configuration settings. An intra period of 32 frames is used. Results are measure through BD-rates which represents the relative rate required for Cool-chic to obtain the same quality than some other codec.

Sequence BD-rate of Cool-chic 4.1.0 against [%] Decoding complexity
HEVC (HM 16) HEVC (x265-medium) AVC (x264-medium) Cool-chic 4.0 MAC / pixel Frame rate [fps]
C-BasketballDrill +30.8 -5.2 -29.5 -17.5 639 13.3
C-BQMall +77.1 +16.6 -6.0 -21.1 639 13.2
C-PartyScene +28.3 -15.1 -39.2 -39.1 639 12.9
C-RaceHorses +79.6 +17.4 +8.6 -16.8 639 12.1
Average +54.0 +3.4 -14.0 -23.6 639 12.9

Decoding time are obtained on a single CPU core of an AMD EPYC 7282 2.8 GHz Processor.
