Very fast VMAF accelerator

It measures VMAF, a video quality metric, faster than open source.

Overview

It measures VMAF, a video quality metric, faster than open source.

Very fast VMAF accelerator

There is an increasing need to measure video quality on a human subjective (perceptual) level. Although Netflix's VMAF is extensively used, its large computational load places a strain on computer expenses and processing time.

The vendor lowers the cost burden since it develops a VMAF-specific accelerator using semiconductor design techniques.

VMAF becoming widely used metric

Service Providers try to find the optimal combination(bit rate, resolution) for each video or shot so as to save storage and network costs while improving the user's viewing experience. Encoding and VMAF quality measuring must be done dozens of times to find the optimal combination, which necessitates a significant amount of computation resources. By leveraging BLUEDOT's semiconductor design technology, you can speed up VMAF quality measurements and reduce computing costs.

BLUEDOT focuses on developing video-specific AI model and advanced video codec hardware IPs for such semiconductor devices as FPGA, ASIC, and SOC. The technologies of IPs meet recent requirements of visual media data center services that include video streaming, transcoding, and cloud gaming. BLUEDOT has a capability of constructing and training in-house AI models for video processing such as de-noise, quality enhancing, upscaling, and encoder-aware quality optimizing. With long experienced and expert team, BLUEDOT develops advanced video/image encoder algorithm such as AV1 and AVIF to offer a better compression efficiency and visual quality compared to widely used such as H.264 and JPEG. Hardware IP implementation requires a level of expertise and is known for long development cycle. But, as BLUEDOT is an expert in HLS design methodology, implementation cycle is shorter than conventional method, enabling us to response to market demand quickly and update product flexibly per customer’s request. BLUEDOT offers a diverse portfolio of AI-powered video processor and codec IP. AI-powered video processor IP improves the user’s viewing experience by enhancing low-quality content or regenerating it for high-resolution displays. In addition, advanced video encoder and AI-based quality optimization IPs help reduce video storage and delivery costs for online streaming services, which are increasingly driven by rapidly growing demand for high-definition content and essential support for a wide range of playback devices.
