Frame-Rate Up-Conversion Using Transmitted Motion and Segmentation Fields for Very Low Bit-Rate Video Coding
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a motion-compensated interpolation scheme that allows recovery of skipped frames at the receiver. The interpolation is performed based on an object-based interpretation of the video. The main advantage of the scheme is that the decoded motion and segmentation information is used without reene-ment. This is attributable to the fact that the object-based representation is true to the \real" motion. We present simulation results in a very low bit-rate coding environment, where multiple frames need to be skipped. The interpolated frames show good reconstruction quality, whereas standard block-based methods lead to unacceptable artifacts.

متن کاملImproving Low Bit-Rate Video Coding using Spatio-Temporal Down-Scaling
Good quality video coding for low bit-rate applications is important for transmission over narrow-bandwidth channels and for storage with limited memory capacity. In this work, we develop a previous analysis for image compression at low bit-rates to adapt it to video signals. Improving compression using down-scaling in the spatial and temporal dimensions is examined. We show, both theoretically...

video coding, low bit rate, morphological segmentation, wavelet A video coding/decoding system for applications requiring low bit rate has been developed. This coding scheme uses an intraframe coder for the initial frame in the video sequence and subsequent frames are coded using an interframe coding method. A wavelet-based technique is used for intraframe coding. For interframe coding, displac...

Facial expressions convey very important information which is sometimes indispensable for people to fully understand the speech during communication. When the volume of video data is overwhelming and channel resources are limited, very low bit rate video coding becomes a solution for teleconferencing. In this paper, we propose an efficient and robust very low bit rate face coding method via vis...
متن کاملFrame-rate up-conversion using transmitted true motion vectors
In this paper, we present a video frame-rate up-conversion scheme that uses transmitted true motion vectors for motion-compensated interpolation. In past work, we demonstrate that a neighborhood-relaxation motion tracker can provide more accurate true motion information than a conventional minimal-residue block-matching algorithm. Although the technique to estimate the true motion vectors is a ...
