Scientific Validation
VMAF improvement
Video Multimethod Assessment Fusion (VMAF) is an objective video quality metric, jointly developed by the visionary minds at Netflix and the prestigious University of Southern California (USC). This technology utilizes a reference and distorted video sequence to accurately predict the subjective video quality.
With Small Pixels AI, the VMAF performance scales unprecedented heights, rendering up to a remarkable 44% improvement over the original video, while maintaining the same bit-rate.
Bit-rate optimization
Not only does this cutting-edge technology enhance the visual quality of videos, but it also can astoundingly act in reducing the bitrate requirements while maintaining a consistent viewing experience. The application of this advanced technique has resulted in up to 50% reduction in bit-rate and 33% average reduction, without any compromise in terms of the video's perceptible quality.
