Automated test vector generation for complicated video system verification

摘要

According to one embodiment, the present invention generates a test vector for verification of a video encoder or decoder by encoding video data using a permissible combination of parameters. One embodiment of the present invention provides for verification of a video decoder by performing at least one video decoding operation and comparing a resulting partially or fully decoded test vector to an expected value. Another embodiment of the present invention provides for verification of a video encoder by performing at least one video encoding operation using a selected combination of parameters, and comparing a resulting partially or fully encoded test vector to an expected value.
