Performance evaluation of two state of the art DVC codecs

Abstract

The performance of existing DVC codecs is still lacking relative to that of H.264 and work is being carried out in order to close this gap. The authors of this paper have been and still are involved in the development of two DVC codecs respectively, the performance of which is compared herein. The aim is to identify strengths and weaknesses of the two codecs that can be exploited / addressed in order to improve the achieved performance relative to H.264.
