Abstract:
It is only a matter of time before High Dynamic Range (HDR) video content becomes commercially available. It is necessary, therefore, to develop proper video compression standards that address the peculiarities of this content and enable the introduction of this technology to the consumer market. So far there is no dedicated standard for HDR content. This paper investigates the performance of the emerging High Efficient Video Coding (HEVC) standard on HDR content and compares it with that of the H.264/AVC standard. Performance evaluations show that HEVC outperforms the H.264/AVC standard by 22.47% to 58.61% in terms of bitrate or 1.02 dB to 4.88 dB in terms of PSNR in the case of HDR content.
