Performance of H.264 in Real Time Optimization

MPEG-2, H.263 and MPEG-4 are some example of video codec series used around the world. Different type video codec bring a different compression and quality values. h.264 /mpeg-4 part 10 or AVC (advance video coding) is the latest video codec/coding standard developed by ITU-T Video Coding Expert Group (VCEG) and ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). It produces more straightforward and simple video coding design, with enhanced compression performance, and a high quality video. Original raw video (uncompressed video) require large and huge storage and it is important to compress the video data so it can be useful storage and transmission purpose. Good codec design will bring a higher quality of the video and the higher compression ratio. The purpose of this study is to optimize the current H.264 encoder for a more satisfying video quality. The image´s peak signal noise ratio (PSNR) result obtained from both original H.264 and optimized H.264 video coding, together with its sizes is used as a comparison for the performance.
