Abstract: This paper describes performance evaluation of MPEG-4 AVC and JPEG 2000 compression technologies for high-definition video signals at a wide range of high bit rates. Brief technical overviews of both standards are first presented, and then simulations are performed on an extensive set of HD video sequences are discussed. Two MPEG-4 AVC modes: an all-intra coding mode and a low-delay inter-predictive coding mode are used. Based on the simulation results, it is observed that at high bit rates, the performance of both modes of MPEG-4 AVC is quite similar to that of JPEG 2000. However, at medium and low ranges of bit rates, MPEG-4 AVC generally outperforms JPEG 2000 with a greater visual difference when the inter-predictive mode is employed.

Jaehan In is currently a senior research engineer at SPVTG, Cisco Systems, where he is leading a video quality research team responsible for design and development of algorithms for H.264-based broadcast encoders. His research interests include image and video compression and transmission, rate control, quantization, and subjective image and video analysis. He also worked as a research engineer at Image Power and UB Video, where he was involved in standardization efforts and development of algorithms for multimedia compression standards including JBIG2, JPEG, JPEG 2000 and H.264. In received B.S. and M.S.E degrees concurrently in 1996 from the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, and an M.A.Sc. degree in 1998 from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada, all in electrical and computer engineering.
