Abstract
This paper presents the result of the performance evaluation for a wireless video surveillance using the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard. The video test sequences are converted into HEVC bit streams by the HM6.0 encoder. The HEVC bit streams were transmitted using a wireless network simulator setup for video surveillance. The wireless network setup introduced error to the HEVC bit stream. Common wireless transmission losses include cross traffic and multipath fading. The intra-refresh error resilient technique is utilized in the HEVC encoder to mitigate the effects of wireless channel. Finally, the effects of adjusting different parameters of the HEVC encoder, namely, the intra-refresh period and quantization parameter were also evaluated in this paper.
