A Novel Picture Coding Using Colorization Technique

Colorization is a computerized process of adding color to a black and white print, movie and TV program. The authors have proposed automatic colorization algorithms by giving a partial color to a monochrome image. This paper focuses on the colorization process which can produce a color image from a monochrome image with a small number of color pixels, and proposes a novel color image coding alg...

Adaptive Picture Flipping Coding for Enhancing H.264/AVC

We developed a new video coding method called adaptive picture flipping coding (APFC) that improves coding efficiency by utilizing the dependency of the spatial direction of images in intra/inter coding. This method involves flipping input pictures horizontally and/or vertically, and then selecting the best case by using a rate−distortion optimization method. Decoders can identify the selected ...

Interframe wavelet coding - motion picture representation for universal scalability

Scalability at the bitstream level is an important feature for encoded video that is to be transmitted and stored with a variety of target rates or to be replayed on devices with different capabilities and resolutions. This is attractive for digital cinema applications, where the same encoded source representation could seamlessly be used for purposes of archival and various distribution channe...
