Abstract
The objective of the Master’s thesis is to conduct a performance evaluation of the MPEG-5 Part 2 LCEVC (Low Complexity Enhancement Video Coding) encoder, the most recent MPEG and ISO standard for video coding. The LCEVC codec specifies an enhancement layer that, when combined with a base video encoded with a separate codec, produces an enhanced video stream. A study of the standard itself will be conducted, as well as practical tests to compare its efficiency (calculating parameters such as PSNR, VMAF, etc.) with encoders such as H264, H265, or AV1.
