| Abstract: | This article explores the potential of the emerging image compression standard AV1 Image File Format (AVIF) as a format for storing 2D texture data in 3D computer graphics, aiming to assess its suitability for graphics applications. It presents a comparative performance evaluation, focusing on image quality, compression efficiency, and processing times, by comparing AVIF with the traditional format JPEG and the texture compression schemes BPTC and S3TC. To conduct the evaluation, a selected set of test images is compressed into the specified formats, loaded as textures, and assessed in a mockup 3D application to evaluate their visual performance in a realistic rendering context. The results show that AVIF delivers better fidelity to the original image compared to JPEG, BPTC, and S3TC, while also yielding a smaller file size. It outperforms JPEG by 9.2 dB in visual quality and by 174.4% in compression ratio, on average. However, this comes at the cost of longer processing times, with AVIF taking 126 times longer than JPEG and 185 times longer than S3TC to encode an image. AVIF also showed a 536% increase in decoding time compared to JPEG. BPTC produced high-fidelity images, second only to AVIF, but it required longer encoding times, depending on the quality settings. However, unlike AVIF, it offers GPU optimization benefits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
