Hi All,
Is there any conformance test cases for VP9 provided by google?
And also please share any links for test case or third party streams links for VP9.


Regards,
Anand.

Argon Design will be launching a set of conformance test streams for VP9 at the Google VP9 Summit on 6th June. The product is called Argon Streams VP9 and uses the same complier based approach as used for their HEVC test bit-streams, see www.argondesign.com/streams .

Argon Streams VP9 is targeted at developers of VP9 decoder IP; as you can imagine, the chip developers really want to make sure they have tested and simulated their decoder before committing to Silicon fab.

Argon Design have taken the Google v1.3.0 reference code and written a complete mathematical model in pseudo-code. This pseudo code model is compiled in to a bit-stream generator and a coverage tool. The bit-stream generator uses directed random numbers to create a large set of test bit-streams, which explores the whole space of valid VP9 bit streams. The bit-streams and hence the pseudo code model from which they are generated, can then be verified against the VP9 reference code.

The Coverage Tool is then used to verify the full coverage of all syntax paths and value ranges. It is also used to tune the set of bit-streams in to a compact set of around 200 bit-streams, while still providing complete test coverage. This rather unique technique provides measurable and demonstrable coverage of the whole VP9 specification. 

You can see a demo of Argon Streams VP9 at the VP9 summit, or for more information email streams@argondesign .com.

kind regards, Alan Scott, CEO of Argon Design

Hi Anand,
 
Intel attended Google VP9 Summit on June 6th and handed out evaluation versions of 67 bitstreams at the event. We can send the evaluation package to anyone who
is interested. Please send the request via email to fred...@intel.com
 
Best regards,
Fred

Hi All,

 

Is there any test suite available for VP9 10 bit decoder conformance testing and regression?

 

Do ARGON (www.argondesign.com/streamsVP9) support 10bit specification?

 

Kindly provide the details.

 

Thanks,

Devendran Mani.

Jalonen, Tomi

Hi,

at least Intel provides VP9 10-bit test streams. Take a look here:

Hi Tomi,

Intel VP9 Test Bitstreams supports 10 bit.

Argon Design launched profile 0 support at the Google VP9 Summit in July 2014, and released full support for VP9 High Bit Depth profiles in Oct.

So Argon Streams VP9 fully supports all VP9 profiles -

Profile 0 covers 8 bit streams with 4:2:0 sub-sampling

Profile 1 covers 8 bit streams with 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4:4:0 sub-sampling

Profile 2 covers 10/12 bit streams with 4:2:0 sub-sampling

Profile 3 covers 10/12 bit streams with 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4:4:0 sub-sampling


kind regards
Alan
