Video Quality Evaluation Methodology and Result of AV2 Compression Performance
The paper discusses the evaluation methodology and performance results of the AV2 video coding standard developed by AOMedia. It highlights significant improvements in compression efficiency compared to its predecessor, AV1, particularly for streaming applications. The findings indicate substantial reductions in Bjøntegaard-Delta Rate for various quality metrics, validating AV2's effectiveness.
- ▪AV2 is designed to replace AV1, offering better compression efficiency for media applications.
- ▪The methodology includes new evaluation methods and content types, such as adaptive streaming and user-generated content.
- ▪Experimental results show AV2 achieves BD-rate reductions of 29.81% for PSNR-YUV and 33.79% for VMAF.
