You plot two RD curves with whatever quality metric you care about, then calculate the distance between them. Also known as the Bjontegaard metric.

- brigade 5y agoSure you can use VMAF as the quality metric for BD-rate, that’s what BD-VMAF is
- lmm 5y agoBut even after choosing a method, I want to be able to set target quality in a meaningful way. Having a parameter that I can set to specify quality on a method-agnostic scale seems like a basic usability feature.
