The increasing popularity of video (ie, audio-visual) applications or services over both wired
and wireless links has prompted recent growing interests in the investigations of quality of …

A compressed video quality assessment dataset based on the just noticeable difference
(JND) model, called MCL-JCV, is recently constructed and released. In this work, we explain …

Recently, many compression algorithms are applied to decrease the cost of video storage
and transmission. This will introduce undesirable artifacts, which severely degrade visual …

Learning-based image coding has attracted increasing attentions for its higher compression
efficiency than reigning image codecs. However, most existing learning-based codecs do …

This paper presents a novel rate control scheme designed for the newest high efficiency
video coding (HEVC) standard, and aimed at enhancing the quality of regions of interest …

The most widely used video encoders share a common hybrid coding framework that
includes block-based motion estimation/compensation and block-based transform coding …

We propose an improved coarse-grain scalable video coding (SVC) approach based on the
structural similarity (SSIM) index as the visual quality criterion, aiming at maximizing the …

Image quality assessment (IQA) has been intensively studied, especially for the full-
reference (FR) scenario. However, only the mean-squared error (MSE) is widely employed …

The introduction of the new coding tools in HEVC has brought significant bitrate savings
compared to the previous standard, H. 264/AVC. In both standards, the mean square error …

Improved compression efficiency is highly desirable in the transmission of 3D video and its
storage. 3D–HEVC achieves higher compression efficiency compared to the simulcast …
