Video Codec Scoring System – ViCoS

System Editions

Flexible customization is available for ViCoS system. There are five different editions which are optimal for different use cases.

Basic - Minimal set of tools for massive video codecs and filters comparison

Standard - Minimal set of tools for massive video codecs and filters comparison and analysis

Quality Assurance - Off-the-shelf solution for video codec and video filter quality assurance

Options Analysis - Research and tuning of video codecs and video filters

Enterprise - Comprehensive set of tools for video codecs and filters tuning, comparison and quality assurance

Features	Basic	Standard	Quality Assuarance	Options Analysis	Enterprise
Basic Quality Metrics (PSNR, SSIM)
Complex results storage (internal binary format and text formats for further fast analysis using Excel, MATLAB, etc.)
Robust against codecs crashes and equipment errors
Additional Metrics (Blocking, Blurring, BI-PSNR)
Basic set of encdoing quality analyzers for codec analysis Synthetic motion (ME analysis) Noisy frames (RC analysis) Noisy macroblocks (Mode Decision analysis) Decimation (ME analysis)
Massive parallelization possibility using multiple clients (client-server architecture)
Results storage in relational database (MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, etc.) - useful for relative analysis and integration with existing QA systems
Additional analyzers for advanced codec analysis: BI-PSNR (luminance shift check) Chroma ME (ME efficiency in color planes) Objects tail area (Mode Decision analysis)
Presets normalization: finding best preset with fixed complexity/encoding speed
Best presets selection for all speed/quality trade-offs
Overall options analysis (efficiency of features analysis)
MATLAB toolbox for advanced results analysis using enhanced visualization methods
One year free system updates
Standalone tool for metrics calculation
Standalone tool for sequences generation
Prices upon request
Additional features can be implemented for customers by a special request.
