17-4 Subjective Evaluation of Hi-Vision HEVC Encoder

Abstract

This report describes the subjective evaluation of the HEVC encoder for Hi-Vision. The encoder is developed for the purpose of communicating and reporting with limited bandwidth in case of a disaster. The subjective evaluation suggests that the image quality of developed HEVC encoder is approximately equal to the image quality coded by an AVC encoder for broadcasting, which is set to twice the level of the bitrates of HEVC.
