A comparative study of JPEG2000, AVC/H.264, and HD photo

In this paper, we report a study evaluating rate-distortion performance between JPEG 2000, AVC/H.264 High 4:4:4 Intra and HD Photo. A set of ten high definition color images with different spatial resolutions has been used. Both the PSNR and the perceptual MSSIM index were considered as distortion metrics. Results show that, for the material used to carry out the experiments, the overall performance, in terms of compression efficiency, are quite comparable for the three coding approaches, within an average range of ±10% in bitrate variations, and outperforming the conventional JPEG.
