Perceptual video coding (PVC) can provide a lower bitrate with the same visual quality\ncompared with traditional H.265/high efficiency video coding (HEVC). In this work, a novel\nH.265/HEVC-compliant PVC framework is proposed based on the video saliency model. Firstly,\nboth an effective and efficient spatiotemporal saliency model is used to generate a video saliency map.\nSecondly, a perceptual coding scheme is developed based on the saliency map. A saliency-based\nquantization control algorithm is proposed to reduce the bitrate. Finally, the simulation results\ndemonstrate that the proposed perceptual coding scheme shows its superiority in objective and\nsubjective tests, achieving up to a 9.46% bitrate reduction with negligible subjective and objective\nquality loss. The advantage of the proposed method is the high quality adapted for a high-definition\nvideo application.
