Coding structure and performance of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) and H.264/AVC

In this paper, the Coding Structure and Performance of video compression standard H.264/AVC and the modern compression standard High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) are discussed as well as the testing of their quality performance. The study is made in terms of the technical design and the results of the tests that have been done on both standards individually. According to the experimental results using same encoding configuration and parameters, it clearly indicates that HEVC encoder can produce the same quality encoded video as that produced by H.264/AVC but with an approximately 50% decrease in bit rate.
