PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS FOR H.264 VIDEO CODING

The international video coding standard H.264 / MPEG-4 part 10 aims at having significant improvements in coding efficiency, and error robustness in comparison with the previous standards such as MPEG-2, H.263, MPEG-4 part 2. This paper presents the performance comparison among the video coding algorithms. The performance comparisons show that H.264 can achieve a coding efficiency improvement of about 1.5 times or greater for each test sequence related to multimedia, SDTV and HDTV.
