[codec] Audio tests: Further steps

["Christian Hoene" <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

 

currently, the codec comparison tests are running. Because of the request of
many codec developers, we plan to extend those tests: We might add audio
tests in which the content is varied to a large extend. For that, we need
sample that cannot be compressed well by Opus or AAC-eLD. For me, it is easy
to get those difficult samples for Opus. It is much challenging to get those
for AAC-eLD. Thus, if somebody had to time to study the weaknesses of
AAC-eLD, please forward me the samples.  I cannot start fair tests if I do
not have challenging samples for both codecs.

 

The Opus vs. Opus will also start soon. Please send comments to Alfons so
that he can considered them.

 

In addition, I am happy to announce that the listening tests will be
scientifically followed by the Qualinet group of European researchs (
<http://www.qualinet.eu/> http://www.qualinet.eu/). In addition to the lab
tests, we will conduct crowd sourcing listening tests. Also Qualinet
researchers will to the statistical analysis of both tests.

 

Thanks a lot to the WG2 of Qualinet team!

 

With best regards,

 

Christian Hoene
