Welcome to the RDPlot wiki!

RD Plot is a plotting tool for visualizing rate-distortion data parsed from encoder log files of common video coding reference software packages. Currently, data from the following video coding reference software packages is supported:

• H.265 reference software HM for Encoder logs and Decoder analyzer logs
• H.265 reference software extension HM360 for Encoder logs
• H.265 reference software extension SHM for Encoder logs

If you require data from a different source you can extend the parsing capabilities of RD Plot by writing your own parser. For more information take a look at the wiki page How to implement a new parser .

RD Plot includes the following functionalities:

• Display rate-distortion plots
• Select component to be plotted (YUV, Y, U, V and even more)
• Plot rd plot over time (rate over time, psnr over time)
• Exporting plots (through matplotlib interface)
• Calculate and display table of bjontegaard delta measurement
• Export tables as latex style table code

You can find an instruction of the user interface and its functionalities at the wiki page Functionalities.
