چکیده

An efficient scheme for video coding is presented which utilizes progressive fractal coding, called waveletbased fractal approximation (WBFA), and motion compensation (MC). In the scheme, the MC error frames are encoded by the progressive fractal coding. Considering the severe localization of the MC errors, we use irregular sampling of domain blocks in a fine step instead of regular sampling of domain blocks in a coarse step that has been conventionally used. It is shown that the fractal video coder presented is competitive with or somewhat superior to H.263. It also has a relatively simple structure and reveals the characteristics of non-iterative decoding, and relatively fast encoding and decoding. It is found to be more suitable for low bit rate video coding.

Video Compression for Very Low Bit-Rate Communications Using Fractal and Wavelet Techniques

In this paper, we propose a very low bit-rate video compression algorithm that is based on fractal coding in the wavelet domain. Fractal compression techniques utilise local selfsimilarities present in images, to form images of properly transformed parts of itself. The recent discovery of the link between fractal compression and wavelets, have improved the performance of fractal coders. The sel...

Combining wavelet and fractal coding for 3-D video coding

Smooth regions and edges are very self similar and can be coded efficiently by fractal coders. One problem of fractal image coding is to achieve a high quality or a lossless representation of an image. This can be overcome by a hybrid coding approach as proposed by the authors in [3]. An extension to 3-D fractal video coding is described in [4]. Due to the block based algorithm, however, blocki...

A Wavelet-based Video Coding Scheme Using Mesh-based Motion Estimation

In this paper a new very low bit-rate video coding scheme is introduced. The scheme uses mesh-based motion estimation to reduce temporal redundancy in the video data and a wavelet-based coding technique to compress the intra-frames and the estimation errors. By using these techniques, the appearance of blocking artifacts at low bit-rates is avoided. This results in superior visual quality compa...
