The Bjøntegaard Delta (BD) rate is a metric to compare lossy compression method efficiency, specifically for image and video. The metric expresses (in percentage) the average bitrate savings of one method over another, at fixed distortion values.[1]. It obtains the average difference between two rate-distortion (RD) curves by integrating fitted polynomials to the curves and computing their difference.
Definition
[edit]The original BD rate document[2] proposes fitting a third-degree polynomial to a RD curve and computing the difference between the integrals divided by the length of the integration interval.
The steps to compute the BD rate are[1]:
- Fit two cubic polynomials to the RD curves corresponding to the two methods, each to 4 data points (but could be more, as long as the domains are the same).
- Integrate the curve.
- The BD rate is the difference between the integral results divided by the integration interval.
Implementation
[edit]There exist several publicly available implementations of the BD rate. They are widely used, as they provide a common benchmark for new methods. There are different versions for the most commonly used tools, such as Excel[3], MATLAB[4] or Python[5]
