Abstract

High Efficiency Video Coding (H.265/HEVC) is the latest technology standard proposed by Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC). There are quite a few parameters for this encoder required to accomplish this goal. If a single standard configuration file is used for all genres of videos that may not maintain the optimal quality in all encoded videos. This is because every video has objects with unlike speeds of movement. Therefore, encoding factors must be customized in the most favorable way for each video separately. The work propose here is to use NSGA II for multi-objective optimization in order to find out the respective personalized encoding parameters to obtain higher Compression Ratio and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR). Experiments on six QCIF videos with resolution \(176\times 144\) and different configuration files have been performed. Results demonstrate that the proposed technique gives enhanced video compression quality. Test videos and code used in the research is available as supplement at http://​bit.​ly/​HEVC-NSGA-II.
