Significant advances in video compression systems have been made in the past several
decades to satisfy the near-exponential growth of Internet-scale video traffic. From the …

Adaptive live video streaming applications utilize a predefined collection of bitrate-resolution
pairs, known as a bitrate ladder, for simplicity and efficiency, eliminating the need for …

Just-Noticeable Difference (JND) is the minimal amount of signal change that the human
being is able to perceive. The human has five major sensing organs, namely, eyes, ears …

In this paper, we show that a high-level of correlation exists between a simple image feature–
mean gradient magnitude and the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of the first just …

Climate change challenges require a notable decrease in worldwide greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions across technology sectors. Digital technologies, especially video …

Just Noticeable Distortion (JND) finds the minimum distortion level perceivable by humans.
This can be a natural solution for setting the compression for each video region in …

With the emergence of multiple modern video codecs, streaming service providers are
forced to encode, store, and transmit bitrate ladders of multiple codecs separately …

In live streaming applications, a fixed set of bitrate-resolution pairs (known as bitrate ladder)
is used for simplicity and efficiency to avoid the additional encoding run-time required to find …

Adaptive live video streaming applications use a fixed predefined configuration for the
bitrate ladder with constant framerate and encoding presets in a session. However, selecting …
