For existing methods on YUV420 subsampling from YUV444 image format, the Y is constrained to change the UV values, or the UVs are constrained to change the Y value. We proposed a method of chroma subsampling with changing YUV values at the same time for YUV420 images. We proposed an assumption (observation) to reduce the algorithm complexity. The experimental results show that the proposed work is better than existing state-of-the-art methods by 1.64 dB and 0.61 dB on average in CPSNR (Composite Peak Signal-to-noise Ratio).
