Summary:
The main goal of video coding algorithms is to achieve high compression efficiency while maintaining quality of the compressed signal at the highest level. Human visual system is the ultimate receiver of compressed signal and final judge of its quality. This dissertation presents work towards optimal video compression algorithm that is based on the characteristics of our visual system. Modeling phenomena such as backward temporal masking and motion masking we developed algorithms that are implemented in the state-of- the-art video encoders. Result of using our algorithms is visually lossless compression with improved efficiency, as verified by standard subjective quality and psychophysical tests. Savings in bitrate compared to the High Efficiency Video Coding / H.265 reference implementation are up to 45%.
