RDPlot – An Evaluation Tool for Video Coding Simulations

IEEE International Conference on Visual Communications and Image Processing (VCIP), pp. 1

Abstract

RDPlot is an open source GUI application for plotting Rate-Distortion (RD)-curves and calculating Bjøntegaard Delta (BD) statistics [1]. It supports parsing the output of commonly used reference software packages, parsing *.csv-formatted files, and *.xml-formatted files. Once parsed, RDPlot offers the ability to evaluate video coding results interactively. Conceptually, several measures can be plotted over the bitrate and BD measurements can be conducted accordingly. Moreover, plots and corresponding BD statistics can be exported, and directly integrated into LaTeX documents.
