Abstract
As H.264/AVC standard has proven to be a key technology of multimedia application, many researches to improve H.264/AVC standard are actively conducted. Those researches are conducted in various ways such as algorithm analysis and improvement or structure enhancement for reducing bottlenecks of performance. Even though targets and directions of those studies are not the same, performance of H.264/AVC standard is commonly analyzed in the early phase. In analysis phase, potential problems with H.264/AVC standard are identified and the most critical problem which has serious effects on performance is determined. Therefore, analysis phase is one of the important steps to decide overall directions and targets of the research. This research proposes a mathematical model which can be used in the early performance analysis phase to estimate performance in conducting research of improving the performance of H.264/AVC Baseline Profile decoder. The proposed model is designed by considering many variables of H.264/AVC decoder operation so that it is easy to predict its performance according to changes in each element.
