A Perceptual Coding Method Based on the Compression of Luma Coefficients
the distortion is always measured by Mean-square-error (MSE). However
the MSE-based distortion fails to measure the subjective difference of videos. As a result
the property and interest of human visual system (HVS) should be considered by video coder. This paper proposes a new perceptual coding method aiming at compressing the luma coefficients in terms of the eyes sensitivity. By using the pre-quantization strategy
it discards the imperceptible information and improves the compression performance of video codec without contaminating the video subjective quality. The experiment result proves that this perceptual coding method can efficiently reduce the output bit rate of AVS reference software by 8%~40% while guaranteeing the quality of decoded video.
