A、VCEG 建议采用Bjontegaard metric described in [1] to provide relative gain between two methods,by measuring average difference between the two RD-curves.
参考[3]中的文档提供了这两种值的计算工具:the bitrate saving between two methods, for a given objective quality; and the PSNR-Y delta for a given bitrate .
由此可见 Bjøntegaard delta bit rate (BDBR) 表示了在同样的客观质量下,两种方法的码率节省情况(Rate/distortion curves 画一条水平线)
Bjøntegaard delta peak signal-to-noise rate (BD-PSNR)表示了在给定的同等码率下,两种方法的PSNR-Y的差异(Rate/distortion curves 画一条垂直线)。
B、在HEVC中,[4]提供另外一种使用五点来计算BD-PSNR/Rate的工具,
